Re: Can't find the Roller URL

More detective work needed.  "http://server/blog/" is the shortcut for a 
default blog.  Now we know the shortcut isn't working, but again, does 
explicitly using the real blog URL work?  I'm trying to see where the 
problem is.

For example, I create a blog with a handle of "sample", so the URL for 
it would be http://server/blog/sample.  I next make it the default blog, 
so its URL can be obtained at http://server/blog, but still, 
http://server/blog/sample should work.  My question here is, does 
http://server/blog/sample work?

Unsure, but I believe the stacktrace you list below is due to using a 
theme no longer available or similar.  To confirm, create another blog 
with the default "basic" theme and try to access it at 
http://server/blog/mynewbloghandle.  Is it viewable?

Cheers,
Glen
