inscatolati - Get out of the box! :)

If you are planning to make a TLA archive available via WEB, either in read-write mode using WebDAV or in read-only mode using the plain old http protocol, you should create your tla archives with the command:

$ tla make-archive -l ...

(note the -l).

However, if you have an older archive that you now want to make publicly available using the http protocol, you need to ssh/telnet/ftp on the server hosting your archive, create an empty file http-blows in the =meta-info directory, and then run the command:

$ tla archive-fixup -A archivename

Where archivename is the usual my.mail@domain--nameofarchive, and where -A ... can be omitted in case you are working on your my-default-archive.

In short, something like:

$ ssh my-remote-server-hosting-tla server $ cd /my/archive server $ touch =meta-info/http-blows server $ logout $ tla archive-fixup -A my@email--my-archive

solved the problem for me :)

If you are seeing this error when trying to access a web TLA archive, it probably means that the archive was created without the '-l' options to the make-archive command, or, for some reasons, no .listing files were created.

In this case, the only way to fix the archive is to ask the archive administrator, or someone with write permissions on the archive, to create the 'http-blows' file and to run a 'tla archive-fixup' command.
