Unable to save file (metadata.xmi) to server. Correct any server, id, or password err

[edwinugomez]

Hi,
I am trying to publish a metadata to the server and got the "Unable to save file".

I also tried publishing a report using Report Designer and got "Publishing Failed: Authentication failed"


Pentaho server is installed and running under http://localhost:8080/pentaho

I am able to login to the user console using joe/password and to the admin console using admin/password.

I am very new to Pentaho (this is the first time I install it)
BTW: I installed the preconfigured RC from http://downloads.sourceforge.net/pentaho/biserver-ce-2.0.0-RC1.zip

I manually changed the publisher config file with "admin" as a password
The xml is as follows:
<publisher-config>
<publisher-password>admin</publisher-password>
</publisher-config>

I am entering the following in the Pusblish to server window
Location: samples
URL: http://localhost:8080/pentaho/RepositoryFilePublisher
Publish Password: admin
UserID: joe
Password: password

and in Report designer am entering
Url: http://localhost:8080/pentaho
Pusblish password: admin
userid joe
paswsword: password

The console doesn't report any error:
Pentaho BI Platform server is ready. (Pentaho Platform Engine Core 2.0.0-RC1.330
17) Base Url = http://localhost:8080/pentaho/, Solution Path = C:\Pentaho2\biser

Is there any response to this?

I have a similar problem.

Just installed biserver-ce-2.0.0-RC1.

I have the publisher-password set in the publisher_config.xml and I have added security to the business view and the business_tables.

it is still rejecting it.

The solution that shows by default (samples) doesn't exist in 2.0. I changed the solution and is working now

That was the fix.

I made a new folder under pentaho-solutions.

Copied over index.properties and index.xml - modified them slightly to have the description appropriate.
then publish to that location.

Thanks.
