As a security measure, I am trying to remove the admin UI from an Umbraco 7 site without affecting the front end of the site. I have tried deleting both Umbraco and Umbraco_Client folders (I seem to remember this was how you removed a pre Umbraco 7 site) but the front end of the site errors due to various files that are now missing.
In an ideal scenario I would like to update the content from a staging server and import the database back into the live site, but also I would like to avoid solving this with folder permissions.
Can anyone offer me some advice on the best way to remove the admin UI safely?
Are you trying to have a separation of environment between content entry and delivery? Not sure if you've seen it but this discussion on the Umbraco forum has some suggestions (but no ideal solutions in my opinion) for that
http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/33337-Creating-a-content-editing-and-content-delivery-environment
You could always just do some URL restriction on the server but there's no ideal way as far as I can see

I am just about to launch an Azure Web App (aka Azure Web Sites) and have a quick question.
I've noticed there was a pretty significant lag on using the site when I publish my site from Visual Studio. Each page(/controller?) appeared to be compiling only when it was first accessed so it made the site feel very slow at least for a few minutes. I want to avoid that so I am used the "Precompile" option when I Build and Publish from VS. This seems to work and, although there is still some initial lag after publishing, it's much better than it was.
My question is this: Because this is a new site and we are constantly adding functionality and fixing bugs, I would like to have a section on my main _Layout page which I can quickly edit with a notification (ie. "Site will go down in 15 minutes for maintenance."). The problem is that I don't want to go through the whole Build/Publish process to get that content up to the site. Is there a way that I can include some file / content (page_alert.html) in my _Layout.cshtml page that can be edited in something like the Azure App Service Editor? Because of the precompiled nature of the site, all my .cshtml files now just say "This is a marker file generated by the precompilation tool, and should not be deleted!" in the App Service Editor.
Thanks!
When you choose the Precompile option, you can also check 'Allow precompiled site to be updatable'. That will then allow you to update individual .cshtml files which will be compiled on the fly, while the rest is still precompiled.
See doc for details.
I think I found a solution that will work from another SO posting.
https://stackoverflow.com/a/14634578/1359788
#Html.Raw(File.ReadAllText(Server.MapPath("~/content/somefile.html")))
I can edit that somefile.html in the App Service Editor and it works
I am using umbraco 7.1.3.
My requirement is to create another sub-domain in main site dynamically as per user request.For example I have implemented umbraco cms for my site "ww.xyz.com" & I am updating content through umbraco login. Now I want to create sub-domains for different clients as per their request... like : "www.xyz.com/client1", "www.xyz.com/client2" and so on...
Now all sub-domain site should have it's own umbraco framework, so client-site (sub-domain owner) can login and update their information respectively.
To achieve this requirement I implemented following steps...
First I register a umbraco website in IIS and configure it, and that worked properly.
Then I register another umbraco website in IIS and configured it, and that also worked properly.
Now to implement sub-domain logic...
I simply copied 2nd website's folder in to first website folder. Then convert that folder to application through IIS.
As per my expectation this should work, As I have already done the same in asp.net and it worked.
But with umbraco I am facing issue like "Invalid key value".
I think the issue is related to some umbraco configuration, but I am not able to figure it out.
Thanks & Regards
A bit of an open door, but since I don't see it mentioned in any of the comments and it's a bit hidden away in Umbraco 8. Have you tried setting the urls in the Cultures and Hostnames section?
Note: you get to this by going to "Content", in the content tree right click on your homepage and now you get several extra options which are normally hidden away with also the very useful Hostname and Cultures option which allows you to support multiple urls.
Sharepoint 2007:
Core.css file is located in the 12 Folder:
12\TEMPLATE\LAYOUTS\1033\STYLES
but my question is : is this file shared for all webapplications on sharepoint server?
I think it is not because when I make changes in the core.css, only one of the applications showed the changes, so where is the others core.css files located?
I made search in my c driver I find only one core.css!!!!
Thanks in advance
This file is shared by all Web Applications. What you experience is most likely a result of aggressive client side web browser caching. Try clearing your browsers cache and refresh the page.
Having said that...
This is not the way you are supposed to customize SharePoint. You should never touch the OOB files in the 12 hive. Next time you apply an update or service pack all of your changes are gone. Also, by touching the OOB files, you automatically lose all support from Microsoft.
Rather, you should either a) develop a SharePoint feature that publish a custom master page with your CSS changes or b) do master page changes using SharePoint designer.
Core.css is always shared by all web applications.
AS magnus said what u have seen is due to the browser caching or somehthing like that. delete the browser cache or Restart the browser and then try again..
May this help you
Thanks
I want to get away from developing in PHP but doing that is proving to be a massive headache.
I am trying to set up a website with MVC 4, ASP.NET 4.0, on Win7 Professional (64-bit). The website is just the basic site that is set up with Visual Web Developer 2010 Express selecting New Project > C# > Website > ASP.NET MVC 4 Application.
After setting up the application in IIS7.5 I am getting an HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden. I've done a ton of research and tried multiple different suggestions on how to solve the problem but NOTHING is working. Here are some things I tried:
Install/Register v4 of ASP.NET. This has been the most annoying
thing because everyone else's issue is fixed when they do this but
mine is not.
Changing the application pool settings:
Set to classic/integrated mode
Change the user/permissions used by the application pool
Made sure 32-bit applications were enabled
Added security permissions to folders related to the website (on multiple accounts)
I can get a regular html document to show up if I add it to the websites root directory. It seems that the MVC stack is not being called at all. The server wants to display the directory, which I can enable/disable, but the website is not being displayed.
Please can I have more potential fixes before I resort to my last desperate act? A baseball bat.
p.s. I'm more than willing to do a skype conversation or a share screen kind of thing if someone wants to dig in deep. I am beyond frustrated with this.
So it seems, in my indefinite well of stupidity, I was pointing the webserver to the incorrect folder. I needed to point the webserver to the folder with actual files of the application rather than the folder containing the .SLN file. Sorry to waste your time!
try running the aspnet_regiis
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx
open the command line in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 and run
aspnet_regiis -ir
other possible solutions:
quit skype, or any other similar applications
I hope I'm asking this question in the right place. I also asked on umbraco forum, but did not get any response yet.
I'm having problem with deploying my Umbraco 5 website to external hosting.
On local machine, I used Umbraco 5 template for VS2010, which works fine (although it's quite slow).
When I publish to live server I get 500 error.
So far, i've tried installing fresh copy of umbraco on hosting (works fine).
I copied config files in hive provider folder (in App_Data), to point umbraco to my hosting database. That does not throw any exceptions yet. Problem starts when I copy views and partial views over - umbraco then finds the template defined in database and tries to load that.
It's worth mentioning that I also copied my project.dll file into bin directory on the server - the reason for that is because I have added new controller which inherits from surfacecontroller (in /Controllers folder).
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
Cheers
Sebastian
It is not any different than deploying a MVC3 website.
There are quite a few questions with exactly that signature here on so.
Visual studio even has a few tools to help you in the process.
The publish function is found right clicking the project in the solution explorer.
If you use the template for developing, you have a working umbraco solution locally right?
If that is the case, it is easier to just deploy / publish the entire site intead of copying bits into another umbraco solution.
Publish tool
When using that tool, remember that umbraco has quite a few config files etc. and they all need to be included. So it is probably the easiest to just export all files in the folders, by changing "which files to include" setting in publish tool. That will unfortunately include all your .cs files too, but later they can be filtered out of the publish process.
First make it work, then make it awesome :)
The same goes for compilation mode, i have found that release mode sometimes breaks things, so for now just keep it in debug mode.
Then later when you have it working, you can change to release mode for a small performance gain.
Stuff to remember
include all necessary files
change connectionstrings
copy databases
custom errors, you don't want your visitors to see YSOD's with your internal debugging info.
disable tracing and debugging!
After reading this, you should go on and look for other more elaborative resources too.
"umbraco then finds the template defined in database and tries to load that" is key point to me
whatever the version you follow the templates and doc types are the backbones of umbraco ( from you website I know that you are aware with above more then me.. but repeating.) I mean you have created new website but there are no relative Templates and Doctype yet you try to use them in views and subviews and that caused the problem.
To do that please create tempalte and doctype same as is in you staging site and this problem will be solved.
Even better kick-start you development with new site only and make replica of that after defining doc-type and templates to your staging.
I hope i can explain my point.
Thanks,
Jigar
I've had problems in the past deploying Umbraco 5 projects. When you deploy an Umbraco 5 website to a new server and before you switch the website on in IIS, navigate to \App_Data\ClientDependency and delete any XML files that are there. Next, navigate to \App_Data\Umbraco\HiveConfig and delete the ConfigurationCache-*.bin files.
Once you've done that, recycle your Application Pool and start your website.
