DNN4

Hello,

Ive successfully installed and booted DNN. Ive been playing around with it for all of 15mins and already I have a broken page.
Clicking on the tab for the broken page all i get is an "An error occured" message... which is next to useless.

It appears that in order to delete this broken page i must first be able to load it in order to get the Admin controls at the top of the page. However because its broken i dont get these controls and thus cannot delete it. Classic!

I figured the next most obvious place to delete such a page would be via the Admin>Pages CP. But although i can add and edit pages from this CP i cannot delete any? So what to do??

I gather Im now supposed to go into the back end database and root around in the tables, find the particular record for this page and delete that....... OK fine.... hey this thing is free right.
 
But shouldn't such a basic rollback feature have been been included in the frontend UI?? Do we seriously expect customers to have to try and root around in databases to fix this kind of thing? What if i miss an entry and leave page fragments all through my Db.

Hi Richard,

You should be able to delete the page from the Admin>Pages location.  When you go to this page highlight the page you want to delete and then click the edit (pecil) link. At the bottom you should be able the find the delete link (althought it is not as obvious as it could be).

You might also want to try to figure out what the error was in Admin > Log Viewer.

Hope this helps.
