503 Service Temporarily Unavailable for wikis

Hello,
after enabling wikis on my site, I get the following when I try to load http://site.com/groups

Service Temporarily Unavailable

The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

You can try stoping and starting teams... from the command line:

sudo serveradmin stop teams
sudo serveradmin start teams

Other than that I would look in /Library/Logs/wikid/ and see that the error log has to say. The 503 error usually indicates that the teams process has not started properly. Best of luck!

Thanks.

Does the error log contain anything else? If not check the system log as well. I am betting that there is a permissions issue somewhere and the wikid process it having an issue reading/writing to a file or directory.

here we go:

[-] Unable to write to our repository path: /Library/WebServer/Documents/basement

sorry, the 1st post was from the system log, not the wikid log.

I am already using a folder called "basement" on my server for a site. Does the wiki feature need a folder called basement?

I chmoded it to 777, and now I get a wiki page, though it is quite plain, text only.

all the images seem to be missing actually
there is no /Collaboration directory that exists either.

The line "[-] Unable to write to our repository path: /Library/WebServer/Documents/basement" tells me that you've changed the collaboration root directory in Server Admin away from /Library/Collaboration to /Library/WebServer/Documents/basement.

I'm also pretty sure that the permissions are wrong on that particular directory. I'm guessing that you probably don't want the collaboration directory pointing at your web server root. I'd suggest changing it back using Server Admin to /Library/Collaboration, and ensuring that the collaboration root and all of its subdirectories and files are owned by _teamsserver (user id 94).

As for why it is plain... I can only guess that the css files are not getting loaded correctly. It seems that your install is somehow hosed.

Yes I had the same issue today. It will need to have _teamsserver and that goes for doing a podcast server as well. It seems all WWW hosted pages needs to have _teamsserver as a WRE user, otherwise it will not work

I'm having a similar error --- however, my Wiki Error Log reports the following:

Does anyone have any idea what this is talking about?

Incidentally, this started happening after a cold reset because (for no apparent reason) the server locked up hard.

If that happens run disk utility from the CD and run repair permissions

Make sure Directory Services isn't taking a dirt nap by checking the CrashReporter logs.
