I ran into an issue a few days back where I tried to edit and save a template but ran into a duplicate alias error. I would be happy with that but checking the dbase shows that there isn't in fact a duplicate alias in the database. Attempting to fix it I renamed the template I needed to change and BOOM - templates are dead - the node never loads. Not a huge issue - I jumped in and fixed it in the dbase.
Today I tried to create a new template. Nothing fancy, I simple click create. And boom - error page and I can no longer load my template node. Checked for duplicate alias in the dbase - clear. The document type node now also returns an error any time I try to edit a document type. I have 2 other copies of the site - my local and a staging. They are both 100% ok and show none of these issues. This time there isn't anything in the database I can fix - its all just dead.
Any ideas? Some other duplicate alias type that may be the problem.
I deleted the new (blank) template directly in the dbase and templates node works again! I will have to pull the database into a local instance where I can smash it without fear that I am going to kill the live site. All I did to get the system stuck was try and create a new template :)

Hi Travis
Are you by any chance using some weird signs in your templates?
And how do you edit them? Using visual studio or directly in the umbraco editor or in a combination?

Nothing that springs to mind but I will check into that line of thinking. Thanks, with luck that is enough of a clue to track it down.
Resolved - kinda.
