    How Do I Setup the Default Page

    hello -

    How do I specifiy the default page for umbraco? So that I don't have to navigate to: site.com/home.aspx.

    I tried making the change in IIS and the Web.Config but Umbraco doesn't seem to honor it? FYI: i'm runnning IIS7 Server 2008.

    Hi,

    Actually, you don't need to specify a default page in umbraco. Just browse to http://site.com and you'll get the first page in the tree. If you wish to have another default page, sort the nodes so the default page is on top of the node tree. If a reference is required from other pages, just enter blabla.

    Does that solve the issue?

    Ahhh actually now, i setup my project to handle multiple navs. so there's a folder called "main nav" that has the core items, "footer nav", "secondary header nav". etc. So there is no real page in the root of the site.

    Also, when I click on "sort" on the content root node [i tried your approach just as a temporary workaround] nothing shows up in the modal box. Every other node, sort works. I'm on V4RC

    Hi,

    I've experienced that sort bug myself, but that one has been resolved in the mean time. It's available in nightlies and change sets on Codeplex, and it should be available in the v4 rc2 which is said to be released this weekend.

    I  wonder if you can help me. In my local install of Umbraco which uses CSW  if I dont specify the home page it correctly (as you say) displays the first node (e.g. home.aspx). However, in a clean install I create a home node and browse the site- I get nothing.. I have to specify home.aspx. Any ideas?
