Blog preview good but "read More" thros error

Hi folks,

I have a good one here...

I have copied my web site to my local machine, including the DB (MS SQL)... all seems to have restored okay!  Except for the Blog pages.

from the Home Page I click on the Blog menu item. it takes me to the Blog page with my 3 articles there each ending in ... read more  I click on either the Item Title or the "read more" and I get the following message...

--------------------ERROR MSG--------------------------------------------------------

Sorry, you are not allowed to view this content. If you have questions about your permissions, please contact a site administrator.

Either you are not currently logged in, or you do not have access to this page within the site. Please contact the site administrator to obtain access.

Return to Site Home

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have double checked and the \Data\ & \App_Data\ folders have read write permissions.

So what did I miss?

Thanks
Phill

----UPDATE-----

Sorry my bad!!!

I am also now seeing the same issue on the public server site (http://www.SeamanMarineSoftware.com).  Do not know how long this has been going on on the server!!! 

The only back end (server) work that has been done was ftping the site to my local machine & making a Backup copy of the MS SQL database (which was then ftpd down to my machine and installed.

Could not resolve the issue myself...

Deleted the page & content and started from scratch.

Re: Blog preview good but "read More" thros error

My best guess is that you moved the blog to a different page than it was originally on or else created posts from within content manager without a page context. The same blog instance cannot be used on multiple pages and you cannot easily move it from one page to another. The reason is because the blog creates friendly urls for blog posts at the time when posts are created and those friendly urls map to real urls like 

/Blog/ViewPost.aspx?pageid=x&mid=y&ItemID=z

and the pageid must be correct to enforce security, therefore you cannot change the page later and you cannot make a post without doing it from the blog while it is on a page. If you do that then you will get the permission problem you are having now because the friendly url mappings don't have the correct page id in the real url.

Hope that helps,

Joe
