Ok, so I had the site setup in a virtual directory in development and that was causing the error. Now I get the "edit in canvas" to pull up the page, but it is just a preview of the page. No edit features.

I'm also having a small issue with adding media in a link in the rich text editor. It automatically adds a "~/" which renders my link as http://localhost:81/~/media/... Am I missing something?

Edit: The problem is, the link automaticaly comes up with the "~/" for the client when selecting from the media list in the rich text editor link button. Any way I can make it not come up with those characters? Or do I have something setup wrong?

Surely someone has had this same problem?

To edit a page in canvas mode you need to insert text with <umbraco:Item>. If you are rendering your pages with xslt you can do something like:

<xsl:value-of select="umbraco.library:Item($currentPage/@id, 'bodyText')" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

Not sure about the media link issue tough.

My fix ended up being one little line in the master page. I had created my own default master page that inherited from nothing. Added

MasterPageFile="~/umbraco/masterpages/default.master"

and a content holder and it works like a charm. Sad that it took 5 months to figure that out.

I'm having the same problem. When I try to acess the canvas mode, the follow error message is displayd in the web browser:

Server Error in '/' Application.

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Can someone help me, please?

Wow guys...this is over a year old. I was using Umbraco 4.5.2 for .NET 3.5.

As I explained in the first reply. When I was getting the error I had it setup in a virtual directory and that version (don't know any newer) could not be set up that way.

It needed to be setup in it's own domain.

Good luck.

I'm using umbraco 4.7.1 for .NET 4 in a local machine.

Soooo....in IIS on your local machine. Do you have it set up as a virtual directory under a domain (ex. www.domain.com/umbracoapp/umbraco) or as the main domain (ex. www.domain.com/umbraco)?

No, I don't have a domain yet. It's set up in my localhost.

(ex. http://localhost/umbracoapp/umbraco) or as the main domain (ex. http://localhost/umbraco)?

The first example link above WILL NOT work.

Omg, I'm confused now.
My main domain is http://localhost/build3/umbraco. ;
I have installed umbraco in my root c:/inetpub/wwwroot/build3.

what r u mean about umbracoapp?

Is my build3 an umbracoapp?

I'm sorry but do you know what a virtual directory is? If you don't then you need to go research it.

If your build3 is a virtual directory then yes, your build 3 is like my unbracoapp and it will NOT work. It needs to be in the root.

Here's someone that got it working in 4.6.1 so I guess that limitation is no longer...however, he says that he did some tweaking and made a change to the ubmTopNavigation.

My site is on an older version so I don't think I can help you further. Hope that points you in the right direction though.

My build3 is in my root, it isn't a virtual directory.

Thank you very much for your help :)
