    umbracoReservedPaths prob?

     

    Hi,

    I'm trying to add a new folder into where Umbraco sits on the server:

    /paul

    I've added in a default.aspx file in there, but it's not being picked up. I get the 404 page.

    I've added the directory to umbracoReservedPaths (triple checked) and have checked that default.aspx is one of the default documents that IIS looks for.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks,

    Hi Paul

    I think you migh also need to add it to the umbracoReservedUrls

    /paul/default.aspx

    Hope this helps.

    You should only have to add '~/yourDir/' (~/paul/ in this case) to the umbracoReservedPaths app setting.

    Remember that http://yourdomain.com/paul won't work. But http://yourdomain.com/paul/ (with ending slash) will. Also, the full path .../paul/default.aspx will also work, you shouldn't need to add it to umbracoReservedUrls.

    I just quickly tried this out on my local machine and works as expected.

    Cheers,

    James

    Thanks for the repies. I run two umbraco sites... we've been doing this for a while on one site, this is first time on the other.

    /paul/ is working fine (as James pointed out)

    /paul doesn't work... but this does work on the other site just by adding /paul to the umbracoReservedPaths

    Will keep looking around and let you know if I find the fix/problem.

    Thanks,

    Hi Paul,

    Is your umbraco install setup to use friendly urls?

    Bingo!

    For some reason, the second site insisted on two bits of info, whereas the first site just needs umbracoReservedPaths.

    Added /directory to umbracoReservedUrls

    Added /directory/ to umbracoReservedPaths

    Cheers for replies,

    Nice one. Strange that the two sites had different behaviour though. Something to watch out for.
