Hi,

I too am having this error, however for me I have created a vanilla site (like the one on the "Getting Started" page of the SDK). I created a new Page in Edit Mode and the page saves and publishes correctly, however on display I get the same error message as Andy (above).

I assume its a path issue within the config somewhere. That or I have not set up friendly URL's properly. Can anyone advise? The error message itself has thrown me, it does no seem to indicate what or where the error actually is...

Copy of my error:

This instance does not represent a relative UrlBuilder, and non-rooted
paths are not valid in this case.

Description:

Even am facing the same error do you have any solution for this? realy helpful

Hi Vijaya,

Unfortunatly for me I resolved this by reverse engineering an Alloy example site, as this was the quickest way to 'get working again'.

I can only summise that there was an error in my configuration somewhere (IIS or web.config), as even emptying anAlloy site and refactoring to the new site name kept friendly URL's working for me.

FYI I had this problem recently with a vanilla site, and the problem is when you create your page type and forget the leading slash (/) in the path to the template file.

I too had this error when using CMS6R2.  I fixed it buy changing the \ (back slash)'s to / (forward slash)'s in the template path file.

I'm sure this was part of the form validation in older versions of EpiServer.

Graham Fieldhouse  had the right answere for me.  It was the initial slash in the template path that needed to be switched.
