Environment


Novell Open Enterprise Server (Linux based)
iFolder 3.x

Situation

iFolder clients do not connect to the iFolder server.   Typically, errors such as :

ERROR: The request failed with HTTP  status 302: Found

are returned by the client (see screen shots at the bottom of the document for some examples).  iFolder 3.x WebAccess appears to operate appropriately.  Additional troubleshooting reveals in the /var/log/apache2/access_log file :

And in the /var/log/apache2/error_log :
[Fri Jun 23 02:32:38 2006] [error] [client 137.65.62.53] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/inspection.wsil
[Fri Jun 23 02:33:22 2006] [error] [client 137.65.62.53] File does not exist: /srv/www/htdocs/inspection.wsil

Resolution

The file "inspection.wsil" is missing from the DocumentRoot.  Copy the original file location (/opt/novell/ifolder3/web/inspection.wsil) to the location identified in your /var/log/apache2/error_log, and restart apache.
