    Root node giving 404

    Development has been working just fine for a few weeks and all of a sudden the home page is giving the intentionally ugly page.

    It is as if the page doesn't have an associated template or it isn't published. be it does and has.

    I found a workitem in codeplex that looked the same, but can't find it again and that item was fixed in the 4.7RC.

    oh. 4.7 MSSQL, on an inhouse dev server  

    Any thoughts?

    oh.... the similar topics links on the new topic page all go to  http://our.umbraco.org/forum/core/general/NewTopic# not the actual story. :|

    Has the page and all the associtaed content been published (can you verify it), why it would lose it I can't explain, but the issue sounds like missing associations.

     saw the following articles not sure if they are of any help but might pint you in the right direction:

    also have you tried a full republish?

    Hey Rav.

    Yeah, content is pulished, and tried the "full republish". but no joy. I don't think it has owt to do with the 404 as the node is valid and shouldn't end up in the world of umbraco's 404 .. or be passed through to IIS to handle.

    Here is the codeplex work item that sounded very similar.

    All a bit confusing, as it is all out of the blue. :(

    Hello,
    So just to be clear this happened all of a sudden. No changes were made to the config files, or any new files deployed to the /bin or the rest of the site?
    Maybe you can try recreating the XML file to see if that helps.

    • First goto App_Data and make a backup of the umbraco.config file
    • Then delete the umbraco.config file (This is the XML file of your site content, it may have got malformed and possibly casuing the problem)
    • Then in the content tree right click the content folder and Republish entire site
    • This should regenerate the umbraco.config file for you
    Let me know if this helps or not.
    Cheers,
    Warren

    So, something is amiss. I have published, unpublished replublished all blah blah. but nowt. So I decide to add another home page and publish that. 

    BAM. it's alive again. home page displays as expected.

    unpublish the new page and deleted it.

    Published the orginal home page again, it is still works. but all the pages (which are published as they are in the navigation) when loaded just load the home page.

    Something is screwy, possibly currupt :( . It is as confusing as my ability to convey the situation.

    Hey Warren

    I hadn't gone as far as actually deleting the file, just sitting confused by the odd behaviour of it all.

    Anyway ..it has resolved it.

    super.

    thanks.

    Hey Peter,
    No problem and glad to help out. But yes very rarely the umbraco.config file can get corrupt and cause some random problems like this.

    Cheers,
    Warren

    Hi, I've the same problem, but it occurs randomly. When I refresh the web.config all the things seems to work perfect, but if I navigate through the website the 404 pops up when I go back to the rootnode and from that point it gives me back a 404-error. 

    I've tried the solution in this topic and it seems to work (I was cheering at my desk ;-)), but after a while navigating through the website the 404 pops up only at the homepage/rootnode, it's very frustrating, so can somebody help me on this one? (cheering is now swearing :-( )

    I'm on v6.1.6 on a 2008 R2 Server with IIS7
