Publishing in SQL CE: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Windows 7 & IE 8
WebMatrix
Microsoft .NET 4.0
SQL CE 4.0 
mojoportal-2-3-5-1-sqlce-net40-deploymentfiles

Hi,

I installed WebMatrix and mojoPortal SQL CE version yesterday. I was preparing a forum post about a different problem, but this problem kept repeating, so am reporting it first.

Summary: Occasionally, while in Administration, I get an “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage” page, and can no longer navigate the site, nor logout – any such attempts result in this same IE page. In WebMatrix, the Stop command won’t work, but can click Run to restart.

Example below is repeatable, when publishing (or unpublishing) a HTML Content feature (5 words).

Steps leading to the problem:

1. Publishing the HTML Content
Administration | Content manager.
Specific HTML Content shows (0), presumably means published on zero pages.
Publish/Delete | Opposite Home, click Green Published button.
Select Right Column, set Published checkbox, click Update >> indicates published.
Click ‘Home’ menu >> “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”.

Close browser and WebMatrix
Relaunch WebMatrix and restart site.
Still logged in.
Home page shows HTML Content was published successfully.

2. Unpublishing the HTML Content
Administration | Content manager.
Specific HTML Content shows (1).
Publish/Delete | Opposite Home, click Green Published button.
Clear Published checkbox, click Update >> indicates unpublished.
Click ‘Home’ menu >>> “Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage”.

Restarted WebMatrix and site >> HTML Content was unpublished successfully.

3. Also tried:
Published a HTML Fragment >> same problem, though confirmed published successfully on restart.
Re-boot my computer >> same problem occurs.
Published an Image Gallery >> same problem, though published successfully on restart.

Any suggestions?

James

Re: Publishing in SQL CE: Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage

Hi James,

Thanks for the bug report providing steps to produce the problem. I was able to replicate it here and fix the problem. It is fixed now in our source code repository and will be fixed in the next release.

For now there is a workaround to solve it, you can delete the file /Setup/ProviderConfig/indexbuilders/galleryindexbuilder.config

The bug was in a sql ce method used to select image gallery content for indexing in the search index. The only downside is that descriptions and captions of images in the Image Gallery feature will not be indexed in the search index until you get the real fix in the next release or from the repository.

When new items are published it triggers the indexing on a background thread and caused the error to happen.

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe,

That workaround you posted is satisfactory until the next release.
