    Checking the database for problems

    Are they are any known queries we can run against the DB (SQL 2008) to check that umbraco should work fine.. e.g. duplicates, dead datatypes, etc. . 

    My Umbraco installation is broken, I can log in but the nodes are missing (Nothing under Developer, Settings, Media).

    I am logging in as Admin.

    umbraco v 4.0.2.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.3441.17657)

    SQL 2008

    IIS 7

    Hi,

    I'd start looking in the umbracoLog-table. If there are problems, you'll probably find them there.

    If your trees are all empty, I'd also check and double-check the permissions.

    HTH,

    Peter

    Is there a way to upload a test page to prove permissions? e.g. display trust level etc.

     

    My host assures me they changed nothing...

    Hm, first thing that pops into mind is the lucene-index to be broken (because of the search.aspx), but I might be completely wrong here.

    It wouldn't do any harm to rebuild the index though. Delete all files in the _systemUmbracoIndexDontDelete-folder (in the data-folder). After that, run umbraco/reindex.aspx to rebuild the index again.

    Did you (or someone else) change anything right before it broke? Deleted a document-type or the like?

    HTH,

    Peter

    No, it worked fine then didnt.. so I assumed it was the host to be honest. The last change I made was to a stylesheet...

    However, your suggestion worked!!!! I deleted all the files in the "dontdelete" folder and hey presto :)
