Hi everyone,

I'm having a weird issue with DNN after I tried to upgrade. Pages in the root directory are working but child pages I get 404 resource not found. Here's what I did:

My current version is 05.06.00 (459).

My first attempt was to upgrade directly to 06.01.02. After the upgrade I had those navigation issues. I decided to roll back and upgrade to more recent version 5: 05.06.04 and it basically had the same issues after the upgrade.

The pages admin section of version 6 doesn't allow to view the selected page but in version 5 this feature is still there. So I selected one of my child pages and clicked on view the page. I realized the the "friendly" URL is messed up (btw. I'm not using any friendly URL plug-in other from what DNN is offering).

So here's the deal:
My DNN installation is in http://www.code4ward.net/main
My Homepage is http://www.code4ward.net/main/RoyalTS.aspx (a page at the root level)
All other pages from the root level are working:
http://www.code4ward.net/main/LogSmith.aspx
http://www.code4ward.net/main/Forum.aspx
etc.

Child pages like:
http://www.code4ward.net/main/RoyalTS/Downlload.aspx aren't working and I get a 404

When I use the pages module to view this download page it's working but the URL is:
http://www.code4ward.net/main/RoyalTS/royalts/Download.aspx

Somehow another /royalts path was added for no obvious reason.

I've looked in the database in the Tabs table and from what I can tell the TabPath seems to be correct.

I've rolled back again and now my site is at least working.

Any idea what's happening here or how I can solve this issue after the upgrade?

Thanks,
Stefan

Answering my own question. I've found out that somehow there were a lot of (seemingly random) portal aliases defined. After deleting all bogus aliases, navigation worked fine again.

I also came across this, and deleting the various portal aliases did not help completely. For some reason, almost all of the child pages had their settings changed so that they were linked back to the Home page (although that did not work)

Changing them back to None from Page on the Site made all of them work again.
