    Umbraco 4.5.1 : Can't save changes to document properties

    I am unable to edit the properties in Umbraco. I can create new node or change node names and also the "change history" records the changes done but its not reflected in the content. Its just not saving the document at all. When I click on publish and save it says content visible and stuff without any error but if I change to another node and come back again its back to old data again.

    Is this a known issue? any tips or suggestions?

    Hi MSI,

    can you check your Umbraco if you can spot anything? 

    It would also be good to check in the database if the changes are saved (and it is then probably a caching error on the frontend) or not. In the latter case my first guess would be missing permissions, e.g. your SQL user can't write to the tables or something.

    I guess it worked beforehand and now just stopped saving? Did you do anything beforehand, like transferring the site to another server etc? It's always a good idea to re-publish the entire site(s) with a right-click on the top node.

    Let me know if you can find anything,

    Sascha

    Heya Sascha

    Thanks for your reply. Yup I checked the cmsContentXml against nodes but changes are also not reflected in the database. Yup you are right, it was was fully working; just that we didn't do many changes to the content recently.

    Republishing the site several times also didn't help. No matter where we write whatever changes are not persisting at all.

    Any other tips?

    Ups, forgot one word in my previous post, it should have been 'can you check your Umbraco log if you can spot anything?' I'm "hoping" for some kind of SQL exception. Looks to me like your SQL user for some reason can't write to the db. What is odd though is that the reading part seems to work fine, and since Umbraco is using dynamically created SQL statements to be compatible with the whole lot of SQL databases I would have thought you kind of get all or nothing.

    Have you tried logging into the database with the user credentials Umbraco is using and try to modify values manually in the database? Long shot though... maybe the database is set to readonly? (even longer shot...)

    Afraid I'm running out of ideas...

    "Have you tried logging into the database with the user credentials Umbraco is using and try to modify values manually in the database? Long shot though... maybe the database is set to readonly? (even longer shot...)"

    hm that I didn't try yet. Getting the umbraco user credential will be a serious pain but I guess I will have to do that as well.

     

    Ok here's an example of UmbracoLog when I go to one of our content nodes, edit some text, save and publish it

     

     

    40981 0< span style="white-space: pre;"> 1102 2010-09-24 11:21:27.157 Open

    40980 0 1100 2010-09-24 11:21:23.980 Open

    40979 0 -1 2010-09-24 11:20:53.953 Debug Xml saved in 00:00:00.0xxxxx x (i replaced the number with x here. Nothing suspicious :) )

    40978 0 1102 2010-09-24 11:20:53.787 Publish

    40977 0 1102 2010-09-24 11:20:53.543 Publish

    40976 0 1102 2010-09-24 11:20:53.003 style="white-space: pre;"> Save

    40975 0 1102 2010-09-24 11:20:31.277 Save

     

    Things look perfectly normal. But once I go to a different node and come back to the edited one (as you can see from the table above) it's the old data. I checked cmsContentXML for that page as well..no change in data. :(...any idea whats going on here...Thanks.

    It seems that something is messing up with app_data folder. There is a work arround

    1. have a folder with fresh umbraco setup files

    2. Copy & replace all you code/required files in this new folder.

    i.e. web.congfig , <project>.dll, css, js, mastertemplates, usercontrols etc.

    3. now point iis to this new folder, reclycle app pool and reset web site.
