I'm using Umbraco CMS4 v6.0.5
through Microsoft WebMatrix, and I've encountered a very strange bug
that has baffled my colleagues and even my superiors.
Yesterday, I spent all day creating brands and products in my
website's Content section of Umbraco. These only contained filler brands
and products the day before, but I removed them all and replaced them
with real ones. I've never touched anything other than the Content and
Media sections all day, and I haven't touched any settings in WebMatrix.
However, when I came back today, my settings had been completely
scrambled! The changes I've made yesterday are still visible on my
website and in umbraco.config, but they have been reverted back to the
filler brands and products in the Content section and in the
cmsContentXml file! Right now, it's like my website somehow pulls the
data from something that no longer visibly exists.
Additionally, I've had to use an outside program to check the
cmsContentXml file, because WebMatrix crashes whenever I try to open it
within that program.
Has anybody encountered a similar problem, and perhaps knows how to solve it?
I've had some problems with content reverting to old versions after I update them.
Usually I use the republish entire site feature which clears the umbraco cache. That will sometimes fix the issue, other times refreshing the browser and clearing its cache.
As for the webmatrix issues, I am on webmatrix 3 and I can't get it to install anything. Always crashes with a permissions issue.
It seems that content is writtten to the database, but when restarting the app pool/the site in webmatrix all new data is lost!! cmsContentXml also makes my webmatrix crash.
The solution does not seem to be republishing, since all data is not there, therefore republishing just deletes the last remains of the content (umbraco.config). We're not talking about the cache, but vanished data from the backoffice!
Did you find any solution to the problem?
I hope this issue is isolated to webmatrix and sqlce (sdf-files). Could it be a corrupt sdf-file?
Hey there guys.. I was having a similar issue. I think I have resolved it by adding "modify" permission to "App_Data".
watch this space, but for now it seems to be working fine.
