>Surprise!< noNodes.aspx shows on live site unexpectedly
My customer called me about a live umbraco 4.6.1 site; that it was down. Sure enough, I enter the URL, and I was looking at the noNodes.aspx page. What? My immediate response was to republish the site, which I did and now the site is running again. However, the customer was surprised and unhappy that this "fancy new CMS" would crash, and, so am I.
Looking at the umbracoLog, I see an entry, "[Umbraco Examine] (InternalMemberIndexer) Index is being optimized" and a subsequent "Xml saved in <timevalue>" followed up by many "NotFound" errors, most of them formerly live pages.
What do I need to do to prevent this type of critical error going forward!
I believe the error you're seeing is not related to what you see in the error log. This issue has been described in this forum before. There is a thorough description with a fix here:
I myself have seen this on sites that are not visited frequently or that are hosted on servers that has been rebooted. As described in the thread above, it has something to do with a service dependency.
This should also be fixed in 4.7 (see workitem), not sure if upgrading is an option for you or not though. If not the above thread has a workaround you can use as Jesper stated.

Unrelatedly, I try to edit the above post by changing the final "!" character to "?" but I get this error:
