Documentation URLs Wrong

When clicking on the "User's Guide" or "Administrator's Guide" link in the Documentation part of the BOE XIR2 ".Net Administration Launchpad" page, the URLs returned are wrong: instead of http://servername/businessobjects/enterprise115/help/en/, it returns http://servername/help/en/, thus causing "The page cannot be found" error message. Anyone knows what would cause this problem? Thanks!

This has now been resolved with help from BO Support. A different version of the helpdir.aspx file was supplied. This fixed the problem of the link to the User Guide on both servers but the link to the Administrator's Guide still did not work on the production server. This was traced to a missing folder on the server.

Unfortunately the older version of the code didn't fix the problem for us. Anyone got any other ideas?

Thanks John. I'll give that version a try.

Here is a snip of code, new & old. As you can see, some "improvements" were attempted but are not yielding to be very fruitful.... Best wishes,

John

Unfortunately we migrated directly to SP2 and I have not been able to trace an earlier version of the file. Could you please quote the changed lines on here so that I can copy and paste them into a new version of the file?

Yes, the direct cause is that file. I was reading that file before, didn't find anything obvious. Today, I replaced that file (time stamp 12/1/2006 3:59AM, directly from Business Objects, never modified ourselves) with another one (time stamp 4/8/2005 12:11 PM), and it worked. The difference is at the last two lines. I believe the 12/1/2006 file came with SP2, while the 4/8/2005 file came with SP1. We applied SP2 several days ago, everything else seems fine.

We have a similar problem. I've not yet resolved it but it seems to relate to a redirect that is performed in C:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 11.5\Web Content\Enterprise115\help\helpredir.aspx.
