media picker breaks page when image is selected

I'm using the media picker in one of my templates. I'm working with Umbraco 7 and Visual Studio 2012. It works in visual studio but when I publish and put it on the server, it breaks the page and I get an error. If I delete the image, the page works again. Any suggestion where I might start looking to solve this? This has worked previously and started breaking today. This is the error:

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.


<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Hi Christine

Are you using the same database for your local site and your staging environment?

If so you will need to make sure that the xml cache is republished on your stage environment so it knows about the selected image. You also need to make sure that your code take empty values into account so people don't see a yellow screen of death (YSOD).

Could you share your code?

Looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi Jan,

I am using the local built in database and it is the same in both environments. It may be a publishing issue from Visual Studio? Is there a list available of folders that should be included and ones that shouldn't? Where is the xml cache located so that I can check? Even if I put in a new image using the media picker, it breaks. Currently the page only works when no image is selected.

This is the code for the media picker:

@{

if (CurrentPage.HasValue("sbPageGraphic"))

{

var dynamicMediaItem = Umbraco.Media(CurrentPage.sbPageGraphic);

}

Thanks,

Christine

Hi Christine

Ok, so you're using the CE SQL database?

Do the image nodes exist in the backoffice on your server? And how about the /media/ files?

Hi Jan,

I am using the CE SQL database. The media files are present on the staging environment. The image nodes are there too.

I also tried adding a new image to the media section with a unique name and selecting it with the media picker on the staging environment and I still get the YSOD

Hi Christine

Ok, so you can browse the media nodes in the media section in Umbraco and see the attached images as well?

Forgot to tell you about the XML cache in my previous post.

You can republish it by right clicking the "Content" node in the content section. Then you see an option that is called "Republish entire site". When you click this it updates/rebuilds the XML cache, which is located in /app_data/umbraco.config - However it's not neccesary to touch the file but just rebuild it from Umbraco.

Hope this helps.

Hi Jan,

I can see all the media images in the media section.

I Republished the entire site, however I am still experiencing the same issue.

The republish site happened in a split second....shouldn't it take a few seconds?

Hi Christine

No, that's very normal. All it does is updating the XML cache - it's not to be confused with publishing nodes, which would take longer.

This issue seems pretty weird - In the first post you tried posting an error message but to me it does not make that much sense.

However on your server could you try having a look in the /app_data/logs file and see if there are any entries marked with "ERROR" and post them in here then?
