Hmm is that a YSOD you got or?

no, just a line of text where the form should be.

Hmm that's strange, and using razor or usercontrol macro?

razor

i have tried the usercontrol macro too, but i get the same problem.

Hmm never seen that before, mind adding ?umbdebugshowtrace=true when using the usercontrol macro and hopefully we can see some more details then

Any chance you can get those details, then we can get closer to a solution :)

usercontrol not working at all. i get nothing. I am sure that it was working earlier, but perhaps not.

fergus

Ok and mind adding ?umbdebugshowtrace=true so we can have a stack trace and see where it is going wrong

site is mvc, trace not working - just looked in the trace logs and can't see anything useful

:( will see if I can find some more detail on where the error is happening

We have the exact same problem. When using Preview from admin the form works fine. But when using the loadbalanced adress we get:

"Must specify valid information for parsing in the string"

Ok mind sharing the setup, then I can try to reproduce

2 front webmachines, one admin machine replicating to the 2 front machines.  IIS8.

When working on admin machine and using preview the form works fine, when surfing to one of the frontend machines I get the errormessage:

"Must specify valid information for parsing in the string" where the form resides.

Ok thanks for the extra details we'll try to replicate and solve the issue! will post details here, will be somewhere next week

Could it be that we have removed /umbraco catalogue?.

The plugins folder with Contour is still there.

Ah yes the Contour config file is location in the /umbraco/plugins dir, so make sure you still have that 

Umbraco folder in place, but still have the problem.

Got this in mail but seems like it was removed,

Do you still get the message

2014-02-03 09:41:06,655 [5] INFO  umbraco.BusinessLogic.Log - [Thread 8] Redirected log call (please use Umbraco.Core.Logging.LogHelper instead of umbraco.BusinessLogic.Log) | Type: Error | User: 0 | NodeId: -1 | Comment: Error reading UmbracoContour.config file: System.IO.DirectoryNotFoundException: Could not find a part of the path 'D:\inetpub\wwwroot\umbraco\plugins\umbracoContour\umbracoContour.config'.

in the log?

And is the file in the location it is looking?

If that is still in the log and the file is present, it might have something todo with the way the file is processed, but let me know and I'll take a look

I think we can close this task.

We removed the Umbraco folder for security reasons. Now when using Contour we have to add the plugins folder. IS there a way to move that folder to another location on the tree?

Ok :) yeah for COntour 4 we'll move to the /App_plugins folder no way to change it at this point
