Environment

Novell GroupWise WebAccess 7
Novell GroupWise WebAccess 6.5
Novell GroupWise 7.0.1 snapins.

Situation

Error: "Compile Error: login.htt: Line 1: File does not exist: login.htt.. Cannot load file: login.htt"
Unable to login to WebAccess after changing settings in GroupWise WebAccess object in ConsoleOne.

Resolution

To resolve this issue there are 2 options.

Option 1.
Delete and Recreate all the WebAccess application objects you have.
Highlight the NDS container which has the domain object and you will see SOME or ALL of the following objects on the right hand side.
GroupWise WebAccess
GroupWiseWebPublisher
Novell Speller
GroupWiseDocumentProvider
GroupWiseProvider
LDAPProvider

Edit each one of these objects you have, and write down the settings for each object. Then delete the objects, if it asks to delete directory structure say NO, then recreate the objects manually.

Option 2. (easy way)

Delete the objects above, if it asks to delete directory structure say NO, then reinstall the WebAccess Application, not the agent, and it will recreate the objects for you. In both instances it is good to have a record of what is in the objects in case you need to do any modifications.

Additional Information

Cause:
Old information from GroupWise 6.5 objects or earlier versions is being written to the webacc.cfg file when modifying the objects in ConsoleOne.
If you compare the webacc.cfg file before and after modifying we can see the difference:
Good WebAcc.cfg:
Templates.path=\\ServerName\sys\Tomcat\4\webapps\gw\web-inf\classes\com\novell\webaccess\templates
Templates.Images.url=/gw/com/novell/webaccess/images
Bad WebAcc.cfg:
Templates.path=\\ServerName\SYS\Tomcat\4\webapps\ROOT\web-inf\classes\com\novell\webaccess\templates
Templates.Images.url=/com/novell/webaccess/images
We can see from the good webacc.cfg file that the path is going to the correct path related to GroupWise 7 while the bad webacc.cfg file is pointing to the path that was used with older versions of GroupWise.
