[opencms-dev] Static Export returns 404s

Hello Andreas, thanks for the response but I am not referring to the links 
within my pages, I'm referring to the actual static export.  For example, 
if I go to 'Queue' and click on a published project (so I get the 'Publish 
Report View'), this is what I see:

Basically, my non-template resources are written to disk but my template 
resources are not.  The Guest group (of which I verified the guest and 
export user are a part of) currently has +r+w+v+c+d permissions to 
everything under '/sites' but that has not changed the outcome.  I tried 
removing its permissions and then resetting them but to no avail.  One 
site exports successfully and four do not.  In this current setup (clean 
install of 8.0.2 with imported data) I don't see the icon to 'switch' to 
the guest user anymore when viewing the user in 'Account Management'.  I 
do still have the option in the production copy still running 7.5.3.

Hello Praveen, thanks for responding as well.  I tried touching every file 
under my 'sites' folder (or should I say touch the 'sites' folder and 
click on the modify all subfolders / files option).  I also use the 
"AfterPublish" export handler, so my sites are exported as part of the 
publish process (see above).  I also tried to do a static export from the 
Database Management module but it makes no difference.  I have the export 
property set to 'true' on every folder/site under '/sites', and every 
resource I want exported (template or non-template) is inheriting the 
'true' value (right click -> advanced -> secure/export).  I looked at the 
actual properties for a few files and the 'export' property is only set on 
the folders under '/sites', but that's also how it's set on the one site 
that actually does export template resources.  Nonetheless, I tried 
setting one of the index.html files to true to see if it would make a 
difference but it does not. I even tried setting the export property to 
false for the four sites I am having issues with and then back to true 
again.  Nothing changes.  One site exports and four don't.

Ben
