DITA OT xhtml output generates index only

Question

Still trying to get my head round DITA in FrameMaker 12.

Today I find another anomaly: when I open a ditamap and generate it using the DITA OT in xhtml mode, only the index is generated, and none of the sub-files.

I'm quite sure that when I did this a few days ago, an entire sub-directory with all the files was generated as well.

I've tried opening all the files, resolving all the topicrefs, displaying the ditamap in Document view and selecting the entire thing, but nothing seems to work. Only the index is generated and when you click on any of the links in the index you arrive on a "Page not found" error message.

So what magic spell was I using a few days ago to get the entire set of nesting documents generated together?

Thanks to anyone who can help,

It's hard to say what's up. Your best bet is to locate the log file generated by the OT build and see what it says.

The FM to OT connection basically just hands off the map to the OT build process, so any errors or fixes need to be addressed on the OT side. Alternatively, you can eliminate FM from this picture all together and run the OT build from the command line .. but you'll likely have the same problem.

You may have changed something in the map that's causing the build to fail. Locating the OT log files will be your best bet.
