Weird, this was a known issue in umbraco v6.1.4: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/301-url-tracker/version-2/44327-Issues-with-URL-Tracker-in-614
Are you absolutely sure that you're running v6.1.5 with all correct v6.1.5 umbraco assemblies?

Hi Jeroen,

I guess so, the website was a clean 6.1.5 install.

I also had a strange issue with some Dynamic Razor code.

I can, if you whish publish the project on Dropbox and give you access to it

greetings,

Anthony

Hi Anthony,

It's Stefan, not Jeroen ;-)
I'm not in the position to give premium support for this package, the only thing I can say is that this issue was present in umbraco v6.1.4 and has been fixed (tested myself) in umbraco 6.1.5.
You could try to replace the all umbraco assemblies in you bin folder with the ones found in the release?

Hi Stefan (sorry Jeroen),

I was not fishing for premium support. I was just offering an opportunity to look into my webfolder, because it was a clean 6.1.5 install.

I have other issues with umbraco.macroengines.dll (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/razor/43030-sitemap?p=1)

Maybe they're interrelated somehow.

But I'll change the assemblies in my bin folder, maybe this fixes the issue.

Thanks,

Anthony

Please let me know your findings!

I just replaced all the dll starting with umbraco.xxxxxxx in my bin folder.

I don't have any YSOD anymore, but the redirections aren't working either.

For instance this url:

http://www.cjs.ugent.be/index.php?id=54

Should redirect to:

http://www.cjs.ugent.be/members/karin-raeymaeckers

But when I enter http://www.cjs.ugent.be/index.php?id=54 , I only get a blank page, and the url is not redirected.

greetings,

Anthony

That's good news :-) Sounds like an 'old' assembly was still present.
You can use the built-in logging to find out what's happening:

I've build in some logging for these kind of situations. Please enable logging by adding an appSetting with key="urlTracker:enableLogging" and value="true" and also set umbracoDebugMode to true.

Request the old url with the query string and read the logs to get an idea why the UrlTracker didn't redirect the request.

Hi Stefan,

I guess this appSetting is in the web.config file?

Anthony

Yes it is.

ok, configured the appSetting. Where can I find these logs?

I guess in the App_Data\Logs\ folder?

hmm, I copied a piece of the UmbracoTraceLog.txt file, which isn't easy as the file changes all the time.

This is an excerpt:

The request for the URL you're trying to redirect isn't in this part of the LOG file, it's all about 'umbraco/webservices/legacyAjaxCalls.asmx/GetSecondsBeforeUserLogout'

I copied the latest thread:

The URL isn't there, is it....? These logs aren't relevant because it doesn't mention the problematic URL.

it' the only thing I have in the UmbracoTraceLog.txt

doesn't this line give some clue?:

LogHelper instead of umbraco.BusinessLogic.Log) | Type: Debug | User: 0 | NodeId: -1 | Comment: UrlTracker HttpModule | No match found, logging as 404 not found

It could be, but there should be more information around that line, for example what the requested URL is.

ok, thanks. Office is closing. I'm going to look further into this tomorrow morning.

Hi Stefan,

I looked again in UmbracoTraceLog.txt and found this entry:

PostReleaseRequestState start

I made a permanent redirect for index.php?id=54 to members/karin-raeymaeckers, but instead of redirecting to members/karin-raeymaeckers, the browser stays on index.php?id=54 and shows a white page.

greetings,

Anthony

Could you show me the detail view of the entry?

Hi Stefan,

Not sure what you mean with the detail view. You mean the settings for the redirect in Url Tracker?

Yes a screenshot of the 'index.php?id=54' entry when you click on it ;-)

Here you go:

it's working now :)

was already wondering if I shouldn't enter something in the 'old url querystring' field

thanks,

Anthony

Great :-)

is working on a reply...
