I have two different sites on a production server, and for these two sites also a version on a development server, in which I cannot save my Master templates on the top level.
The only thing these templates have in common are the <script> tags in the head (with a runat="server" attribute). Around the same time, on production and dvelopment servers, the problems started.
If you have direct access to the file system through WebMatrix, Remoting or FTP, just edit the file directly for now. It's not necessarily an Umbraco thing, but IIS sniffing a potential security threat in the post and blows chow at you for it.
Saving Master template with <script> tags doesn't work
Umbraco 4.7.2
ASP.Net 4.0
Windows 2003 with IIS6
I have two different sites on a production server, and for these two sites also a version on a development server, in which I cannot save my Master templates on the top level.
The only thing these templates have in common are the <script> tags in the head (with a runat="server" attribute). Around the same time, on production and dvelopment servers, the problems started.
When my <head> tag looks like this:
<head runat="server">
<title><umbraco:Macro Alias="SiteTitle" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro></title>
<link href="/css/mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/recaptcha/api/js/recaptcha_ajax.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="//platform.linkedin.com/in.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/jquery.livetwitter-1.7.0.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="/scripts/myfunctions.js"></script>
<umbraco:Macro Alias="FacebookMetaTags" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="metaTags" runat="server"/>
</head>
I am unable to save the template. I get the 'generic' errormessage in the bubble on the bottom right corner:
"Template not saved. Please make sure that you do not have 2 templates with the same alias."
When I remove all the script tags, I am able to save the template, so like this:
<head runat="server">
<title><umbraco:Macro Alias="SiteTitle" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro></title>
<link href="/css/mystylesheet.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" />
<umbraco:Macro Alias="FacebookMetaTags" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder ID="metaTags" runat="server"/>
</head>
We installed some Windows updates on all servers, about 3 weeks ago. Could this be the cause of these new issues?
Does anyone have an idea how to solve or further troubleshout this?
Thanks,
Ingrid
You are not the only one. I went ahead and submitted a ticket: http://issues.umbraco.org/issue/U4-2451
If you have direct access to the file system through WebMatrix, Remoting or FTP, just edit the file directly for now. It's not necessarily an Umbraco thing, but IIS sniffing a potential security threat in the post and blows chow at you for it.
Experiencing the same issue with Umbraco 6.2.6. Can save fine on dev but not on prod.
I narrowed it down to a simple function call. If all I have is this:
saving fails. Something simple in there and no issues, saves right away.
is working on a reply...
