ASP.NET "Page Not Found" when pages exist…

with one comment

I hit a strange problem today when I started getting the ASP.NET 404 error page whenever I tried to access my ASP.NET pages through IIS – whilst any non-ASP.NET pages in the same directory worked fine. After a bit of digging, it turned out that this was caused by me fiddling with the site’s “home directory” in IIS – I’d put it back to it’s original value, but with a trailing backslash… so

c:inetpubwwwroot <– this didn’t work

instead of

c:inetpubwwwroot  <– this worked

I removed the trailing backslash, and everything was fine again. Very wierd!

OPML Feed for UK Developer Blogs

without comments

We’ve now got over 90 UK developer blogs being archived on Developer Fusion, so I’ve now put up an OPML feed so you can easily add these to your own aggregator. See http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/blogs/archive/ for the blog archive, and http://www.developerfusion.co.uk/blogs/list.aspx for the list of blogs being aggregated, and the OPML links.

If you’ve got a blog that’s not listed there and would like it to be, then drop me a line. We’ve driven over 50,000 clicks to UK developer blogs since we launched the section in February, so it’s well worth your while! And if you haven’t got a blog, and would like one – then let me know and I can sort you out with one :,,) Next up… full text searching of the UK developer blog archive!

PS If your blog is listed, and you think the service is useful, then if you could link back to Developer Fusion that would be great! :)
