I have added 2 pages in the content tree - index & Home Page. It was working fine until yesterday. Unable to preview 'index' in the Content editor (CE) now.
The error message is -
The requested document was not found
However, when I do Tools > Browse > Preview, from Sitecore Rocks, it opens fine. Also, I am able to preview 'Home Page' in CE without issue.
Following Mike's Solution Here, I tried to add the user 'Everyone' and removing 'extranet/Anonymous'. But the changes never Save.
Why does it happen to this page alone. No changes made to web.config and I am using only master DB.
UPDATE:
Here is what I have observed.
When 'index' is placed outside the 'en' folder, it can be previewed. Someone suggested that Sitecore is confused by the folder name with its languages. But renaming it to Test-en, also did not work.
I also tried this. Created 'index' outside 'en' folder. Then created a copy of the same inside the 'en' with the name 'index1'. I can preview index1 now, but if 'index' is deleted, it's the same issue again.
I have seen this happen a few times. On a new instance, I don't believe it is permissions, especially if you are using SIM to install (if you aren't - try it!)
Follow these steps and it should fix your issue. Make sure all instances of your browser are closed. They are known to keep hidden instances running. Stop all those tasks. Restart your IIS instance. Log Into your sitecore site with the magical password. Preview the page. You should be able to preview and in fact get the Experience Editor.
I do agree that Sitecore is confused as to the state of that it is logged in as, that is why it is important to close all browser instances.
If you still get this error, clear your logs. Do the above steps and send me your logs. I will look at them for any oddities.
Happy Sitecoring!

SharePoint by default has two master pages: Seattle and Oslo. The general rule is we should not modify these default master pages. If we need any customization, we should make their copy, make modification, upload to the Master Page Gallery and then use it. However a colleague of mine modified them directly and it screwed up some JavaScript functions. It impacted Performance Point Dashboard Designer and continuously started showing JavaScript errors.
In order to resolve the issue, I renamed the default master pages to Seattle_erroneous.masterpage and Oslo_erroneous.masterpage. I also renamed their respective .html files. I copied fresh copies of Seattle.masterpage and Oslo.masterpage from another web application, also their .html files, uploaded them to the Master Page Gallery, published their major version and started them referencing in subsites. It did solve JavaScript errors.
Now I want to clean up those erroneous master pages. When I try to delete them from the gallery, I get following error.
All the subsites inherit the working master page. Also I checked master page of each site one by one. All of them were referencing the working version. There was one site whose SharePoint Server Publishing feature was not enabled. I enabled it, and confirmed it was using the working version. I cannot delete the erroneous masterpages. It is referencing somewhere where I cannot see. Please help.

My Issues with Test.html and Test.master
Go to Root Site, Site Settings->Look and Feel Section: Design
Manager. Here the Master Page Html file can be modified
what changes are we make in .master file.
But Site Settings->Look and Feel Section: Design Manager ->Edit
Master Pages Test.html was missing.(By default Seattle and Oslo will
be appear)
Open the site collection through SharePoint Designer, Right click on
Seattle.html file -> Select "Edit File in Advanced Mode" from
context menu.
Seattle.html opens in a new Tab. Select all and copy the code.
Then Go to Test.html (Right Click) -> "Edit File in Advanced Mode".
Opens in a new tab.
Replace the existing code in the "Test.html" by pasting the code
from Seattle.html
Save the file (This is done in "Check In" status)
In the Browser, Go
To Root Site, Site Settings -> Look and Feel: Design Manager ->
"Edit Master Pages" in the left side.
Now here the Test.html file will appear. Delete this file
In my sitecore instance, (8.2 rev 170407), I'm having an issue viewing the homepage in both my dev enviroment and my staging server. Going to the homepage (the root of the server) redirects to this URL
http://[website]/sitecore/service/nolayout.aspx?item=%2f&layout=%7b00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000%7d&device=Default
The message says:
The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) may have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Additional Information:
Requested URL: /
Requested Layout: {00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000}
Requested Device: Default
In testing this, I set the Home item to have an alias of /home, which I can visit and see the page looking fine.
This issue began when I set up Helix via the Yeoman script, and built it in VS2015. This is my first Sitecore Site so I handily accept that I made a mistake -- for example when I built the Solution for the first time it overwrote my Web.config. I had a backup of that Web.config and was able to bring the site back online but the Homepage has eluded me.
I've published, and republished. In my naive experience, I find it odd I can see the homepage at /home but not /. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
So I'm just starting to work in sitecore and for some reason none of menu options are working in Page Editor mode for the site that I'm working on. We pretty much have the sitecore website and add some extra page content (MVC app files) to it. I'm getting a variety of javascript errors.
In content Editor, if I click the Sitecore logo and click on Properties I get
TypeError: contentIframe.dialog is not a function
In page editor if I click on the blue components button I get:
TypeError: i.widget is not a function
I'm guessing maybe it's a conflict between jquery that we're using for this website and whatever Sitecore is using. I think it's 7 - but I can't see it via the menu option :)
That guess could be wrong - it could in fact be a browser issue, but I've ensured Firefox is not blocking popups. It doesn't work in Firefox, IE or Chrome though.
The weird thing is that no one else on the project is having this issue it's only on my computer.
Edit - I've also just tried re-installing (7.2) without any local code changes I still can't click on a page and go to Presentation, Details (Layout) - I get a TypeError: contentIframe.dialog is not a function
Edit 2 - I've noticed that I can use sitecore in the QA environment and the dialogs work fine there. So it's something specific to my local build of the site we have (sitting on top of sitecore). But the dialogs just throw jquery errors when I do stuff locally. I was hoping it would be a browser setting but doesn't look like it.
Edit 3 - What I've tried this morning.
Same thing happens in all browsers (FF, IE, Chrome) and I’ve cleared
my browser cache I can access the QA site and the dialog appears as
expected
Copied across the QA site files, pointed my local Digital
site in IIS to the new folder – dialogs don’t work
Team member tried accessing the site from his machine (pointing to my IP address) and
dialogs work for him
I tried seeing if another local sitecore site dialogs were working – but the menu items for that are opening as new windows (so I’m guessing it’s a sitecore 7.2 feature that they appear as jquery dialogs??)
So after googling for rejected-by-urlscan it turns out there's a program called UrlScan from microsoft that was blocking my dialogs. Uninstalled that and I now have dialogs appearing for sitecore. Very exciting :)
I guess it is a problem with some browsers plugin. Sitecore is sensitive to scripts that are used(different versions of jquery or prototype.js). Plugins can inject scripts to HTML source of pages and it can cause errors.
Try to switch off all plugins at least at one browser and check the results.
I have had WFFM running on a Sitecore instance for a while, but it has recently stopped working. When I go to "Form Designer" on an existing form, I get the standard Sitecore "The requested document was not found" page.
Requested URL: /applications/modules/web
User Name: sitecore\admin
Site Name: shell
If the page you are trying to display exists, please check that an
appropriate prefix has been added to the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting in
the web.config.
Note that the requested URL is stated as /applications/modules/web instead of /applications/modules/web forms for marketers.
A lot of development has occurred on this site recently, so I'm not sure when exactly this started happening.
Additional: info:
Folder and file permissions are correct.
I've tried reinstalling the WFFM package, and made sure that all the files are in place.
Several processors have been added to the HttpBeginRequest pipeline, but I removed them all to test if they were the cause - they weren't.
I haven't upgraded Sitecore since WFFM was working and the version is correct.
No errors are logged
EDIT
This also seems to be affecting the Sitecore Security Editor:
Requested URL: /appl
User Name: sitecore\admin
Site Name: shell
If the page you are trying to display exists, please check that an
appropriate prefix has been added to the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting in
the web.config.
EDIT 2
Further investigation with this is making me think it is related to the Requested URL. I originally thought the the "Not found" page was displaying the requested url incorrectly. However, if I attempt to goto mysite.com/sitecore/shell/applications/fake folder with spaces/fake page with spaces I get this error message:
Requested URL: /applications/fake folder with spaces/fake page with
spaces
User Name: sitecore\admin
Site Name: shell
If the page you are trying to display exists, please check that an
appropriate prefix has been added to the IgnoreUrlPrefixes setting in
the web.config.
As you can see the Requested Url is correct in the error message. So in relation to my problem, I think maybe Sitecore is requesting the wrong URL in the first place.
Additionally if I go to the go the following url by typing directly into the browser, then the Security Editor opens as expected:
mysite.com/sitecore/shell/Applications/Security/User-Editor
This is quite old now but I thought I'd provide an update for anyone else who encounters the problem.
Unfortunately, Sitecore support weren't able to help beyond pointing out that setting the addAspxExtension attribute to 'true' in the link provider seemed to solve the problem. This may have been acceptable except that extensionless URLs were important to the customer.
In the end I had to amend my link provider so that addAspxExtension is set to 'true' in the web config, and then I set it to false inside the GetItemUrl method for specified sites only.
So now whenever the context site is 'Shell' or 'Admin' etc, the extensions are added by default, but switched off in my main website.
Of course, this is a work around. I still don't know how to actually fix the problem
So the first thing that I am going to tell you is that I suspect that there is something wrong with your site declaration for Sitecore Modules. In your web.config, there's a site declaration for "modules_shell" and "modules_website". Those are where the code files that run the modules are usually located... a shell folder to run the parts that run in the Sitecore shell and a web folder to run the part that is accessed by the externally facing site. Please check your site declarations (and the form.config file) to make sure that you're not in live mode or something like that. I would definitely say that this is where you should start looking.
The next thing is to say that your comments about Sitecore not serving a url in the /sitecore/shell directory is really not surprising. Sitecore processes all requests unless you specifically tell it to ignore requests (like setting it in the IgnoreUrlPrefixes in web.config), it's going to try processing it. Like going to /sitecore/shell/applications gives me a layout error because it doesn't have anything set to handle that request. Now your error suggests that there is something wrong with Site declarations.. however, even if they were all right, it still wouldn't work.
I have a large Sitecore site which is working with almost no issues, but there is one particular page which renders as blank. No menus or layout and no errors. No errors are recorded in the database.
When I preview that same page through the CMS, no problem.
The page has been published, as has its layout and template.
Has anyone experienced something like this before?
Well this is a bit embarrassing - actually there is a directory under my website with the same name as the page I am browsing to. Of course IIS doesn't pass the request on to Sitecore, it just says "hey I found that resource" and in my case, returns a blank page.
I would have expected a directory listing or an error message in this case, but a blank page is what I get.
Nothing to do with Sitecore, but it could affect anyone working with a CMS.
(PS this is a pre existing site I've recently started working on).
