Hi, and did you try to connect ?

Oh, I forgot :D
Yes, I tried to connect and only getting an error, error 500 I think, not able to try it again right now.
Is it the right way to connect to this page or is it umbraco 3 only? I'm using umbraco 4. And is it okay that the page is missing in the filesystem?

Yup that should be ok

mhh, maybe this is old v3 stuff?

I just pasted it and changed the domain instead of inserting it with the help button.

I'll try that this evening.

Or perhaps there is a config setting to enable live writer functionality?

When I try to connect to my page with windows live writer it returns:
[quote]Server error - The server detected an error in the following URL:
http://localhost/umbraco/channels.aspx

500 internal server error[/quote]

My masterpage contains the following code in the head
[quote]
href="http://localhost/umbraco/channels/rsd.aspx" />

href="http://localhost/umbraco/channels/wlwmanifest.aspx" />[/quote]

The content channel settings for this user are set.

Edit: localhost is correct. It's running on my local IIS7

I'm getting a similar error when I try to connect to umbraco/channels.aspx
I set up my admin acount/channels section to point to the right content location and to occupy the right content types. (bodyText and summary).

Any ideas on how to proceed? This will work when running ASP.NET 3.5?

Error I get:

HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error

Handler "Channels" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list

Are you running umbraco on localhost?

In my case the problem was gone when I moved umbraco from my local system to a hoster (Win 2008, ASP.NET 3.5). My local test system was running on win 2003 and ASP.NET 2.0.

Yes I am running on localhost (Windows 7 RC x64, IIS7). I am running with ASP.NET 3.5.

Would like to test this locally as well ....

Try to check your Channels handler in your web.config. Maybe you can use the integrated mode (if it's not set already). To do this you have to add:

preCondition="integratedMode"

in the <add name="Channels" [...] /> section of your channels handler.

Thank you very much, that did the trick!

To be precise:

<system.webServer>

Great!
