Hey Ravi,

Are you using Hostnames? Is it a multi-site installation?

Simon

No hostnames it's a single site (not multi site), just about to look at the URL rewriter (don't think that's the answer), and also gonna try deleting the umbraco.config

 

Ravi

What do you mean by "work with the ID"?

Can you give us the url that does not work, the url that works, and the url(s) that appear in the Properties tab of the document?

Stephen, I think he means he can view it via the url including the nodeId e.g. www.example.com/1234.aspx 

Simon is totally correct

http://jointhepod.stage2.edcoms.com/student-zone/ezines.aspx -  Does not work

but 

http://jointhepod.stage2.edcoms.com/5478.aspx which is the Ezines page does work

Would this be an indication of a duff document type

 

 

Anything in the logs? Check the umbraco.config file and make sure the node is there if you haven't already.

I'll have a look and let you know.. need to grab some lunch and feeling wan.. grins

OK. Can you tell us the url(s) that appear in the Properties tab?

so for the ezine link I showed earlier..  and that shows up perfectly but there is no page, I 'm just about to do a re[publish , hopefully that will updat ethe umbraco.config or at least give me a better starting point to see what's up in the logs

/student-zone/ezines/

I'd actually look inside the umbraco.config to make sure that the node is in there.

Okay , I've deleted the config and republished the site, I have the 

 

 <StudentZonePage id="5478" parentID="5475" level="3" writerID="0" creatorID="0" nodeType="5431" template="5432" sortOrder="3" createDate="2012-10-15T18:31:33" updateDate="2012-10-16T14:43:48" nodeName="Ezines" urlName="ezines" writerName="admin" creatorName="admin" path="-1,1058,5475,5478" isDoc="">

Nothing has jumped out in the logs..yet, I am still going through, i feel like I have either a duff template some issue with routing or a corrupt umbraco.config, but surely deleting and republishing should sort that out..

 

 

after much gnashing found it was a ue to the URL rewriter set up.. been looking at the project too long, completely overlooked it.. 

sometimes you need to  get someone else to look at your problem from a different viewpoint to spot the obvious.. thanks for your time gents

is working on a reply...
