Known Issues
Issue: Some links in AtomSite are broken after you download a published site
Workaround: This is a known issue. A workaround is to perform a string replace for service.config, users.config, and all .xml files of the remote URL string (i.e. http://myhost.com/atomsite
) to the local one (i.e. http://localhost:1239
).
