Apologies if I'm asking a silly or basic question here - I'm quite new to Umbraco v7 (but loving it so far).
I have a new site for a client that's currently partially in UAT (not all content is yet present); they have an existing Umbraco site, based on an earlier version (but still v7). New site version is 7.7.1 (the most current when I started it).
There seems to be an issue where cookies are hanging around after logging in to the backend of the site (the new site is currently on www2.[domain].com, the old one is on www.[domain].com) - sorry I can't share the actual site due to an NDA.
This causes the "no published content" welcome page to show instead of the actual website - the client has to go into Incognito Mode in Chrome (or delete their cookies for the site)
I've confirmed that I can replicate this by logging in to to the backend, logging out, closing the browser completely and then trying to view the site again in the same browser after closing - instead of the home page, I get the "Unpublished content" welcome page for v7.
I can fix this by deleting a cookie called "X-Mapping-[random letters] - after doing this and refreshing the page I get the published content again.
The UAT site is on load balanced servers, configured according to the documentation and using Distributed File Replication but the same issue doesn't seem to be happening on the dev site (which isn't load balanced), so I'm wondering if it's something to do with that.
Is there some way of ensuring this doesn't happen? A configuration setting or something that I'm not aware of?
Some more research indicates that this is actually a cookie set by something called "Stingray Traffic Manager" - is it likely that the configuration issue lies in that rather than Umbraco?
Okay, it isn't to do with the cookie, that was a red herring (it just happens to be a symptom because clearing it forces the load balancer to send users to the server that's actually working).
When I looked at the logs on the second server behind the load balancer (which I should have done before posting) the log file says that Umbraco has no content, so clearly there's something wrong with the configuration here - investigations are continuing (the 2 servers have identical configurations as far as I can see - the only difference is that the other one is the "master" server that will be used for back end functions).

Unpublished welcome page shows instead of published content
Hi,
Apologies if I'm asking a silly or basic question here - I'm quite new to Umbraco v7 (but loving it so far).
I have a new site for a client that's currently partially in UAT (not all content is yet present); they have an existing Umbraco site, based on an earlier version (but still v7). New site version is 7.7.1 (the most current when I started it).
There seems to be an issue where cookies are hanging around after logging in to the backend of the site (the new site is currently on www2.[domain].com, the old one is on www.[domain].com) - sorry I can't share the actual site due to an NDA.
This causes the "no published content" welcome page to show instead of the actual website - the client has to go into Incognito Mode in Chrome (or delete their cookies for the site)
I've confirmed that I can replicate this by logging in to to the backend, logging out, closing the browser completely and then trying to view the site again in the same browser after closing - instead of the home page, I get the "Unpublished content" welcome page for v7.
I can fix this by deleting a cookie called "X-Mapping-[random letters] - after doing this and refreshing the page I get the published content again.
The UAT site is on load balanced servers, configured according to the documentation and using Distributed File Replication but the same issue doesn't seem to be happening on the dev site (which isn't load balanced), so I'm wondering if it's something to do with that.
Is there some way of ensuring this doesn't happen? A configuration setting or something that I'm not aware of?
Many thanks!
Chris.
Some more research indicates that this is actually a cookie set by something called "Stingray Traffic Manager" - is it likely that the configuration issue lies in that rather than Umbraco?
Okay, it isn't to do with the cookie, that was a red herring (it just happens to be a symptom because clearing it forces the load balancer to send users to the server that's actually working).

If anybody else comes across this, check that this setting:
directoryFactory="Examine.LuceneEngine.Directories.SyncTempEnvDirectoryFactory,Examine"
Is added to all of your indexers if you're using Examine 0.1.80+ (see https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Getting-Started/Setup/Server-Setup/load-balancing/flexible#examine-v0-1-80)!
That was a diverting hour or 2...
