    Very odd URL error

    Hi,

    I'm using 4.7 and have a weird problem with URLs.

    Anything with a space in (eg. "a nother") causes a 404 error:

    umbraco tried this to match it using this xpath query'/root/* [@urlName = "a-nother"] | /root/*/* [@urlName = "a-nother"]')

    Does anyone have any ideas as to why this could be happening.

    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Greyhound

    Do you know if there has been done some modification to the umbracoSettings.config?

    What does your <urlreplacing></urlreplacing> section look like?

    I'm fairly sure that you can't use spaces in your url's per default.
    When you publish a document in Umbraco, it will give you an url like /a-nother and AFAIK Umbraco wont match /a nother

    Yes, Mads is right about that.

    Hi,

    Its not the URL that has the space, its the page name. For example, on my own Umbraco site:

    http://www.aurl.com/web-design.aspx : works fine and the page name property is "web design" which is getting translated into web-design.aspx just fine.

    @Jan - no modifications that I know of. The config looks as per normal to me:

     

     
                -
                
                
                
                
                
                
                
                plus
                star
                
                
                ae
                oe
                aa
                ae
                oe
                ue
                ss
                ae
                oe

    Ok, turns out its not so odd, and that I'm being a bit slow this week!

    When I created my doctype, it didnt have a matching template - this is what is causing the error. I dont have a technical explanation but re-creating the docType with a matching template has worked.

    Thanks for the replies.

    Hi Greyhound

    Ah yes, missing templates can fool one :) Glad to see you got it solved.
