Newbie trying to fix a "Error in '/' application" bug in site
Hello Folks,
I've been tasked with fixing a bug in a site for a client. The bug is that with the pages tree, when clicking on just one of the page, it's saying "Error in '/' application." - only happens to one page, and we want to get rid of that one page.
A bit of background - this is a live site, hosted on a windows server. It was set up a while back by a different company. I've never used a windows server before. I've never used aspx or c#. I'm working on mac using remote desktop connection to the server. I'm logging to the cms using the clients admin details.
Firstly, is there any way to turn on/see a better error message?
I can access the database using Mircosoft SQL Server Management Studio - is it possible to delete the page from one of the tables? or is that risky?
Are you not able to simply delete the page using the Umbraco backoffice? Or is it impossible to access it using the backoffice? I assume it's an error people are getting on the frontpage of the site, or?
Hmm, I think you should be able to remove it from the database by using this approach https://agebase.co.uk/blog/how-to-remove-orphaned-or-missing-umbraco-nodes/ - But make sure to make a backup of the database first and also the files just to be safe in case something does not turn out as expected.

Hi - no, right clicking the page - then choosing delete just gives the same error. as does clicking 'rollback'...
Hi Jacob...ah that way...
