MCMS Site Manager Export 404 error

Here's an undocumented solution:

Using Microsoft Content Managment Server 2002 SP1a, the Site Manager export would preview, but at the end of an export (during the write) stopped with the message: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found

The Microsoft FAQ entry entitled "Topic: 404 during Site Deployment" lists some tips that did not solve it for me. I just lost 3 hours on this and saw no mention on the web of the fix I needed on the web for this which follows:

The solution for me was to change the "Local Disk Cache Location" and set permissions on this folder. It was previously set to a to the MCMS server folder, which I saw evidence had been previously altered.

  • Thanks, I would never guess it has to do with the cache property.

    Saved me a lot of time

  • Thanks for the help / advice. Worked like a charm. Just upped the cache size though, directory change not required.
