Page Not Found mystery

Post by conorw »

Hi folks,

I added a new page as usual,
It can be found through a search on the front end (so must be in db)
I checked "options" and all seems fine ( active is checked, alias is the same as the page title, and it does "preview").
The html / source code looks fine.
1.1.2 "Savaii"
Cache is cleared, and page resubmitted multiple times.


But the page cannot be found after sucessfully saving.

Hello,

Why not upgrade to 1.1.3.1+ ?

BTW, do you have other working pages ? Can you add several other pages ?

Hi Pierre,

I added a new page as usual, about 30 in total. I even deleted it (the page in question) and went again with the same result.

Until now, I thought that this  was a fairly recent stable release.
There was a reference in config.php with regard to legacy code: I changed this back and fro, but to  no avail.

I can upgrade tomorrow, but fail to some how one page with the same parent can be any different from a page with the same parent( and without tweaking any default settings), very similar content (with regard to page size; I even deleted the gif in case of conflict (image format) that I may not be aware of).

Go daddy server (never again), but that is hardly the cause over three days??
As you mentioned about new pages: no problem so far.

Why can a regualr page be in the db (obvious by "search"), and yet it cannot be found?
ranks nl returns a 200 ok.
 
I don't get it, is all.

okay, obvious questions:
a) the page is marked as 'show in menu' right?
b) the page is marked as 'active'
c) the page alias doesn't match a excludeprefix=  argument in the menu call does it?
d) if all else fails, what's the page alias for the page?
maybe I can help after that.

When one page out of 30+ behaves differently, then it's either something really silly, or a bug.

Hi calguy1000,

Active is checked
Show in menu is checked
Cachable is checked
The page alias is the same as the title, but the first letter is lowercase.
Excludeprefix ? I'll have to get back to you on that when I read a little, but I made no special selection of anything for this page than any other. In other words, settings were as default as with other pages.

The plot thickens.

The page title that I wanted was "Buoyancy"; -> www.mydomain.com/buoyancy/
This doesn't work (page not found) though it can be somewhere within the search function (but doesnt render)

However, when I made another test page with the title "Bouyancy" -> www.mydomain.com/bouyancy/ ; this works.

Okay, so how can a particular arrangement of vowels have any effect on this? (mis-spelling works, but correct spelling doesn't)

I just created a new page called 'Buoyancy' and it showed up in my menu just fine.

Hi Calguy,

by naming the alias as "buoyancies", the url of www.mydomain.com/buoyancy/ can now be seen.

The curious thing is the functional url of http://www.mydomain.com/materials/ has "Materials" as the title and menu text, and "material" as the alias (by default). So what is the difference, I wonder???

In other words, I can work around it, but the issue remains.
