    Umbraco fails when debug=false due to DependencyHandler.axd

    hi out there,

    this one has us foxed: new install of v7.1.4, works fine locally on our staging server.

    however, once we upload it to the production site umbraco fails if debug mode is set to false.

    all the permissions have been set correctly by the admin (it's a shared host) as outlined here but when we hit http://oursite.com/umbraco we just get a white screen.

    checking activity in firebug shows a couple of interesting things:

    DependencyHandler.axd

    it seems 'DependencyHandler.axd' gets hit the first time and creates a '.cdC' file in this location:

    /App_Data/TEMP/ClientDependency
    

    but the 2nd request to actually load the created file 'aborts':

    enter image description here

    the web.config has both handler sections defined so iis6 and 7 are covered (just in case):

        <httpHandlers>
        <remove verb="*" path="*.asmx" />
        <add verb="*" path="*.asmx" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" validate="false" />
        <add verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" validate="false" />
        <add verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" validate="false" />
        <add verb="*" path="umbraco/channels.aspx" type="umbraco.presentation.channels.api, umbraco" />
        <add verb="*" path="umbraco/channels/word.aspx" type="umbraco.presentation.channels.wordApi, umbraco" />
        <add verb="*" path="DependencyHandler.axd" type="ClientDependency.Core.CompositeFiles.CompositeDependencyHandler, ClientDependency.Core " />
    </httpHandlers>
    

    and

        <handlers accessPolicy="Read, Write, Script, Execute">
    <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated" />
    <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory" />
    <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" />
    <remove name="ScriptResource" />
    <remove name="Channels" />
    <remove name="Channels_Word" />
    <remove name="ClientDependency" />
    <add name="ScriptHandlerFactory" verb="*" path="*.asmx" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices" verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Script.Services.ScriptHandlerFactory, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add name="ScriptResource" verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd" preCondition="integratedMode" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptResourceHandler, System.Web.Extensions, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
    <add verb="*" name="Channels" preCondition="integratedMode" path="umbraco/channels.aspx" type="umbraco.presentation.channels.api, umbraco" />
    <add verb="*" name="Channels_Word" preCondition="integratedMode" path="umbraco/channels/word.aspx" type="umbraco.presentation.channels.wordApi, umbraco" />
    <add verb="*" name="ClientDependency" preCondition="integratedMode" path="DependencyHandler.axd" type="ClientDependency.Core.CompositeFiles.CompositeDependencyHandler, ClientDependency.Core" />
    </handlers>
    

    we've search through the forum etc and can find some pointers (Insert link text here) but all solutions are for older versions, not v7x.

    anyone had this before or have any ideas how to fix it?! we've worked round if for now by forcing the minification on the site and allowing the whole thing to run in debug mode but it's not ideal...

    thanks for any suggestions!

    Did you happen to publish your temp folder? This guy seems to have the same problem: https://twitter.com/bieoe/status/491653963364573185

    hi sebastiaan,

    thanks for the reply - interestingly, we did try that... the 'App_Data' wasn't uploaded but was created prior to the host applying the correct permissions to the site root.

    we blew it away an couple of times and no joy. however, we got another email from them today saying another permissions change had been made so gave it another go.

    this time the results are better - but still not great!

    we can now reach http://oursite.com/umbraco however the 1st load threw up loads of console errors. deleting cookies appeared to fix that. however, when we log in, the wrapper interface loads (so nav down the left) but the dashboard fails to load - we get this message in a red box at the bottom of the page:

    Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found):
    views/directives/html/umb-panel.html
    

    if we click into 'content' and navigate to a node, the screen fills up with red error message boxes, for example:

    Request error: The URL returned a 404 (not found):
    views/propertyeditors/urllist/urllist.html 
    

    so we reuploaded the umbraco and umbraco_client folders, cleared cache, deleted cookies and reloaded the site and it went mental!

    enter image description here

    i'ev a feeling many of the html files were in cache...

    it feels like the site doesn't have the correct permissions and umbraco isn't recognising the site root and thinks it's at a higher level? the host has confirmed that everything is set up correctly...

    we're trying to get remote access to the server so we can get in there and check things out but this one currently has us stumped!

    We had the same problem, we solved it by changing/extend the requestLimits.
    The default value of maxUrl = 2048, We had changed it to 1024 and maxQueryString we also changed to 1024. (default: 4096)
    But then we get the problems mentioned. changing it to 2048 solved the problem for us.

    <system.webServer>
    <security>
    <requestFiltering>
    <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="10000000" maxUrl="2048" maxQueryString="2048" />
    </requestFiltering>
    </security>
    </system.webServer>

    Hi everyone,

    I'm having same issue with the Umbraco 7.1.8 and I just cannot get it to work.

    I have tried everything, and by that I mean literary everything :)

    Please, please - any ideas? :)

    P.S. I just need to mention that I have worked on numerous Umbraco 7.1.8 projects and same issue appears on every single project.

    Thanks, Nevena

    Have the same issues as above...

    Uncaught ReferenceError: angular is not defined

    Uncaught ReferenceError: UmbClientMgr is not defined

    Runs on localhost. Not on production server.

    Have to set debug="true" and it works.

    Ideas ?

    Maybe it helps to add this to web.config if you don't already have it (at the end just before </configuration>)

      <location path="umbraco">
        <system.webServer>
          <urlCompression doStaticCompression="false" doDynamicCompression="false" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="false" />
        </system.webServer>
      </location>
      <location path="App_Plugins">
        <system.webServer>
          <urlCompression doStaticCompression="false" doDynamicCompression="false" dynamicCompressionBeforeCache="false" />
        </system.webServer>
      </location>

    I was having the exact same problem and found my solution.

    Check that your web.config rewrite rules aren't conflicting with any URLs which Umbraco requests.

    Hi,

    I just resolved this issue on my production server after 5 years of having 'Debug=true'. Turns out that the url/querystring length was longer than IIS would allow by default.

    To locate this problem, I copied the request that created the 404 from DevTools into notepad and counted the number of characters in the url (which exceeded the max default of 1024). So I up'd it in the web.config as follows:

    <system.webServer>
    <security>
    <requestFiltering>
    <requestLimits maxQueryString="10000" maxUrl="10000" maxAllowedContentLength="1000000000" />
    </requestFiltering>
    </security>
    </system.webServer>
    

    Now works as expected with Debug=false set too.

    Hope this helps others too.
