When a new blog is created, Telligent Community attempts to write a file to your website so that the web server allows the http://<sitename>/blogs/BLOG-NAME/ links and the typical http://<sitename>/blogs/BLOG-NAME/default file to work.
However, a permission problem could occur with conflicting security settings for the Telligent Community app pool. To fix the problem, give the Telligent Community app pool write permission to the /blogs/ directory of your website:
- In IIS, navigate to your blog in the /blogs/ directory, then right-click it.
- Select Edit permissions from the shortcut menu, then select the Security tab.
- Click the ASP.NET or Network Service user to highlight the user, then select the Write check box in the permissions Allow column.
- Click OK.
If you are reluctant to give write permissions to the /blogs/ directory, create the default page manually:
- Create a folder with the same name as the application key of the blog you created.
- Inside that folder, create a blank file named default. This causes IIS to hand the request to ASP.NET, which gives the URL rewriting in Telligent Community the time to take effect.
