Does anyone know why changing an Alias on a Document Type will:
a) Bring the entire website too it's knees (no response in browser)
b) When it does come back (normally by touching web.config) most the pages are no longer published... Entire site needs republishing. Takes a while on large sites!
I think it's hard to say why the site crashes because of a change in the alias.
But it makes sense that you need to republish the entire site (update the XML cache) since the alias change is not reflected in the XML that is being parsed by XSLT macroes etc. - It does not "see" the new alias before it's in the cache so to speak.
Do you use some user controls or some razor or anything to fetch data?
Had to remove some spaces in Alias names (not me) ... various macros stopped working in 4.7 even after editing for new schema. I've just updated latest 4.7 files, so that might have fixed. I'll come back if I find anything else out.

Hi again,
I've noticed this happens on most document types now... And can be as simple a change as ticking an 'Allowed Child Nodes' box.
When I hit save:
Does anyone have any ideas why this might be happening? I can dig around in DB in necessary?
Cheers,
is working on a reply...
