"The Url is already in use", but is not in DB

Hi,

Trying to set a short URL for a page, my mojoPortal says "The Url is already in use." when pressing save. As you can see from the screenshot showing the portal's database pages table there's no such URL in the portal.

I previously tried to rename the page, and it didn't rename somehow - I don't remember why.

Where else might a cache of the name rd.aspx be kept, if not in the database?

I would check also the mp_FriendlyUrls table.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: "The Url is already in use", but is not in DB

Hi,

It's in the mp_FriendlyUrls table indeed, and the PageGuid matches correctly with the page I'm trying to change.

I could rename the URL in the databse to something obscure which would certainly let me get on and use it again, but I don't understand why mojoPortal won't let me re-use the url - it's for the same page after all.

All the best,

Kenny

Re: "The Url is already in use", but is not in DB

It is a bug I will fix it. The issue is that it won't let you set the url in the page record to the friendly url which is already pointing to the page.

For a workaround go into Administration > Url Manager and delete the existing friendly url. Then when you set it on the page settings it will be re-created and back in sync.

Best,

Joe
