you should never modify this file yourself. the purpose of that file is to define what properties may be set by the application while it's running, it is not a config file it is a config definitions file. that file is read once when the application starts and the default values are only used if a property is found that was not already set in the database. all of the properties listed in the file should be changed in the Roller Admin UI under Admin -> Preferences. > > The file has no default value for site.absoluteurl, which will cause a > message in the log something like: absolute url not defined in Roller > Config. > > The site settings page says: > > Absolute URL to site (if required), *required for what??* > It appears to be required for planet.. yes, this is a somewhat confusing issue which i don't believe we have a solution for yet. the problem is that to build some urls we need to know the absolute url desired. unfortunately this can't always be determined at runtime, especially in the case of the planet stuff. > > > I have been trying to get planet to update with values from my blog and > external blogs using the testing buttons on the Planet admin page. > > > Using the Refresh entries button, results in this: > > Could not find fetcher.properties on classpath > > > The Synchronize Roller Weblogs button > results in two : expecting IDENT, found 'group' log messages. I thought those buttons didn't even work at all, but I'm not positive. Dave will have to answer that one. > > > Can the planet-cache directory be relative like the search-index and > uploads?
