I am new to umbraco 6.1.6 and for some reason I can't seem to get rid of the /home in the url of the base page of my site. I've not had this problem in umbraco 4.7, which I was running before.
I've tried the usual suspects and neither have fixed the problem:
1) set umbracoHideTopLevelNodeFromPath in web.config to true
2) Checked the Hide From Navigation box on the Home node
I did notice that, when checking the box to hide from navigation, instead of a 404 I get a "Page not found. No template exists to render the document at url '/default.aspx'" message.
Even stranger. I put in the domain and click save and the window goes blank. Nothing indicating it's processing and it just hangs there. Is this related or does it indicate a deeper/different problem with the installation?
Well, the issue has been solved. I don't know why, but the two nodes that were created, Home and Site Data, by re-sorting them (moving Site Data above Home and then moving it back below Home seems to have solved the problem. I have no idea why. The problem is solved but any thoughts on why it was?

Any ideas why this is happening? Thx.
Hi Neil
What are your settings in the manage hostnames?
/Jan
There isn't anything listed under Culture and Hostnames...
Hi Neil
Ok...could you try adding your dev domain and see if that changes anything?

Hi Neil
Ok - does the homepage has a template attached in the properties tab?
/Jan
It does and it's the correct one. I set it in the .master's code behind like this:
public partial class Home : Vega.USiteBuilder.TemplateBase<DocumentTypes.HomePage>
and it appears in the cms Settings section with the allowed template of Home checked as I'd expect.
