We get this error a lot on our Umbraco site, also we've noticed that when we publish content, it doesn't actually publish it, then I check the log and I see this error message.
Is this because there maybe more than one admin user logged in at one time?

Having more than one admin user logged in at the same time is not a problem at all. There's plenty of running sites with many backoffice users logged in and editing at the same time. The only case where this could give an issue is the fact that if you have two users load up the same item in the backoffice and one makes changes and saves.. and the other one then saves without reloading first, the changes from user1 will be overwritten by whatever was loaded when user2 loaded up the page.
One thing that could lock up your indexes however is having multiple sites run off the same index files (which is NOT supported) - so make sure you're not doing this. I've seen some people forgetting having an old IIS test site configured in the same folder after going in production which could bring up this issue.
Another thing that I usually do is exclude the index folders from both anti-virus scanning and the windows indexing service, as I've seen both of these take temporary file locks which sometimes interfere with umbraco's access to the index files. The indexing can be turned off by right-clicking the specific folder in explorer, selecting properties > advanced > uncheck the 'allow files to be indexed'.

I have accidentally deleted (and then permanently deleted) the default feed which is created for a new organisation. I am now trying to create a new feed, which I realise will be project scoped, by going into the Artifacts section and clicking to add a new feed.
But, I can't get that far because as soon as I click on Artifacts, I get an error because of the deleted feed:
I'd really welcome a pointer on how to recover from this. Ideally, I'd like to recreate the original organization-scoped feed.
Thanks, Nick.
This issue occurred when I deleted the default feed. The issue is reported in visualstudio.com developer community. Below is the solution provide in the community
[Workaround]
The problem extends to the whole organization, if you delete a feed permanently from one of the projects, you will not be able to see the feeds in any other projects within the organization.
A quick workaround to fix the problem, go to User Settings > Preview Features > New Artifacts (Feeds) Experience turn it off
View your feeds with the classic version, if they appear, then you can turn that feature on again.

I am new to coding and everytime I ask a question I feel like stupid because I mostly am unfamiliar with most known things in this "industry" so I will sum up the whole situation fastly.
I learned how to code html css and js, I learned how to use VS 2012 asp.net mvc 4 and finally I made a webside for a student club I am into. Hosting is provided by our school and they only gave me ftp user name and password, I dont know which hosting firm is it or what is going on and so on, I got Filezilla to delete and unpublish the old webside, and I didnt know a proper way to publish asp.net websides through filezilla so I used VS 2012 publish tool.
I choosed FTP as publish method because I had ftp user name... I choosed relase as configuration and thats it ( I didnt open options here ) finally I could push on publish...
I faced 2 main problems so I couldnt publish
Problems I faced were;
1) While I was trying to publish I got an error like
" Validation (HTML5): Element 'a' must not be nested within element 'a button' "
I was trying to make a nav with sub items on it, It worked while I was trying it on local host I saw similar problems spoken out here on VS 2010 I tried to make exstensions to VS didnt work out
Anyway I deleted that part from the project and I tried publishing again.
2)It worked out perfect it seemed like no problem occoured. But when I try to open the webside it was saying I had no permisson to view.
I hope I didnt write any off topic staff here just try to tell you my problems so maybe someone can get help like I did from prior topics.
" Validation (HTML5): Element 'a' must not be nested within element 'a
button' "
You cannot have one anchor tag inside another anchor tag. If you have it that will cause you the problem.
Check out this thread to find out valid elements which can be nested inside an Anchor tag.
I had no permisson to view.
You need to give proper read/write permissions for the ApplicationPool Identity on the folder structure you have for your website. Or else IIS Apppool will not be able to get the files and execute them.
Give permissions to AppPool Identity for a particular folder/file. That resource will guide you one how to give you permissions to Application Pool Identity.
Alternatively you can give permissions from FileZilla itself. Simply right click the application root folder and select permissions. Then you can specify permissions from client side itself. But in most of the production cases, we have to add app pool user to the folder/file permissions list manually. But definitely give a try with FileZilla.
I have just put up an Umbraco 6.0.3 site on eHosting and set all the directory permissions iaw our.umbraco.org/.../permissions. And this(http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions/perform-permissions-check) reports the permissions as "perfect". .NET framework set to 4.0 and App pool has been set and recycled. Site shows up but no macros load and in the Umbraco UI there is only a Content node and a Media node, both the Content and Media trees are empty.
I can't think of anything else it can be. This is the first V6 site I've put live.
Is there anything else I can check?
Cheers
Check that your user login has permissions to view those nodes. The fact that you are not seeing any other sections (Settings, Developer, etc) suggests this.
Also - are you using any hostnames in Umbraco for the site (where you right click and click manage hostnames on the content node)? If so then check that the root node has a wildcard hostname added.
This is a case of retracing your steps over what you've done. If the other options don't work then you can do a database refresh too (copy the dev database to live). The fact you can login to the admin UI, says that you have the database working. However, is it possible that you've tweaked anything manually in the database?
Are you using MVC or ASP.NET rendering engine?
Check your log files and paste them here if all else fails and we'll try and help you out as best we can. You'll find them in App_Data/Logs/UmbracoLogs.txt
When the content and media nodes failed to load for us in Umbraco 6.0.3 it was due to a bug in Courier which causes the back-office to malfunction if you are connected to a MySQL database (throws an exception complaining "Keyword not supported: 'charset'").
Courier interferes with many back office functions and in this case it is incorrectly assuming that you must be connecting to an MSSQL server.
The only solution was to uninstall Courier (which was OK for us because we'd already determined that there are too many show-stopping bugs for it to function as advertised).
Each time I make a change to an Umbraco template and press Save, I get the confirmation popup saying:
Template saved
Template saved without any errors!
However, when I return to that template (click on another template and then back again), the changes have been lost.
I've ensured that the user account running my IIS application pool has Full Control over the \Views folder containing the .cshtml files (i.e. the Umbraco templates).
Strangely this just started happening, after it had been letting me make template changes with no problems. I can manually edit the .cshtml files on disk, but this seems ridiculous.
Any ideas?
A couple of things:
1) Have you checked that the following Windows accounts have full permissions for all folders "IUSR", "IIS_IUSRS", "NETWORK SERVICE" ?
2) Probably not but I have had problems in the past with caching. Have you disabled (set from True to False) caching properties in /config/umbracoSettings.config ? This should always be done during development.
OK, I'll provide an answer for others' future reference (although the reasons are unclear to me). It appears the change I was making to my Template must've been deemed invalid by Umbraco - when I strip the template text down to just a single, empty div and save it, the change is persisted successfully.
The confusing thing is that Umbraco provides no feedback as to why it's not saving - in fact it tells you that it HAS saved successfully.
Bizarre and confusing.
Just been editing my templates and got this problem. Fixed it by doing the following:
sign out of umbraco
clear your browsing data
sign back into umbraco
always be sure to copy and paste your code somewhere to keep it safe, and it can be easily pasted back in. Seems like a bug to me... but it saved after I did that.
(Using Umbraco 7)
I'd been working on a plugin when I discovered this. I can't say for sure if this behavior happened before or not on my machine (it doesn't on our test server, a Linux box), but after attaching a file, I can't delete it until the server restarts. I can't delete through the UI or by manually navigating to the server directory and trying to delete from there.
Has anyone ever encountered this before? Could it be something environmental on my box??
Most probably it's a permission issue in that folder, which allows your JIRA user (a user under which privileges JIRA instance runs) to create files, but not to delete them (or something even more fun) :) Try deleting the temp folder (where your uploaded attachments reside) and recreate it again, adding your JIRA web user to the access list for that folder.
The workaround to delete files, when some other process is holding a lock on the file, without having to terminate that process, is to use Unlocker. But be warned, when Unlocker unlocks a file it does that in a way which does not notify the lock holder that the file has been unlocked by force. That means that the lock holder still thinks it holds the lock on the open file which it doesn't (the file handle is invalid). That means that some applications might crash due to unexpected state of the supposedly open file. Btw, I've been using Unlocker since forever and it rarely caused any crashes, but it's better to be warned.
