Hi,
I been having some problems with umbraco over the last couple of days. All of a sudden, any changes I make won't show up on my website. They show up fine in the preview and after they have been saved-and-published it tells me that the new content has been published successfully, but it hasn't.
Everything has been working fine until a couple of days ago when it stopped working. I haven't been making any changes in settings (in umbraco as well as with my webhost) as far as I'm aware.
Has anyone else experienced this or does anyone know what might cause this.
Best regards,
Lauge

Typically this has one of two causes... either the filesystem is full or the file permissions are no longer adequate. The first is easy to check. For the second, remember that umbraco needs to have at least CRUD (create, read, update, delete) permissions to a number of folders and the files contained therein. The various installation guides at http://www.umbraco.org/documentation/books give details about which folders and files. For the situation you describe, I'd look at the /data folder in particular. Whoever 'owns' the application pool for your site needs these CRUD or better permissions. Your hosting provider may have altered the application pool or some other setting and not realized it could effect your site. Let us know what you find out. cheers, doug.

I have run across this problem once and I pulled my hair out for a few weeks trying to figure out what happened. I had changed the amount of Worker Processes in the application pool for Umbraco thinking this might make it more scalable if the site really starts getting more traffic. What this apparently did was place a file lock on the umbraco.config file (a big XML file which stores everything) and kept it from being updated when the save and publish button was being pressed. Again, don't change the application pool settings or keep the Maximum number of worker processes = 1. Things worked perfectly when I changed that setting from 3 to 1.

Quite right! Umbraco works great in a multi-server/load-balanced/web-FARM configuration. But it will not work properly in a web-GARDEN situation with multiple worker processes... leave it at one worker process. cheers, doug.
