After update the backend cannot find my site

Hello

 

I have been searching internet for a solution, but cannot find a anyone else with the same problem.

I have upgraded an existing site from CMS 6 R2 -> CMS 7, and then CMS 7 -> CMS 7.5.

 

After minor problems with dll-versions I got the site running.

But when I log into the backend to edit my site, my pages in the tree is not regognized.

It does not even find the recycle bin, just the root element (https://anonfiles.com/file/fcb57cdc80602ea113e12826d72f0fac).

 

If I manual go to an page with a certain page id in the url, the page is displayed but I cannot edit its properties. When I hit the "All properties" button it will load forever. And if i look in the request with developer tools, I see it will return an empty response with 200Ok. 

 

I browsed the database to find the problem, but no luck!

 

Anyone having an idea where to start?

If you go into admin mode under "Manage Websites", ensure your site is there and has proper SiteUrl and StartPage.

I solved it by copy all my stuff to the Demo site, and pointed the connectionstring to my old database.

Now another question:

 

My new site uses the new feature having the vpp-assets in the database, but I have several images in my vpp-folder.

How can set the website to look in my external vpp-folder as well?

 

I tried to add virtual folders to my EpiServerFramework.config under virtualPathProviders, but no luck.

Do I have to set anything else in my configs?

Never mind. Added locations for my virtual paths in web.config to make it work.
