This is weird. On the site I am working on, the first node is named home.aspx and is, naturally, my home page. Recently I noticed that when I try to explicitly load the home page by name, I get a blank page. No 404 or anything, just a blank page with nothing in the source. But I can load it fine by using the domain name and not specifying the document. So obviously umbraco recognizes home.aspx as the home page. What could be preventing it from displaying when specifically called? Every other page in the site seems to work fine.

Also, in the umbraco GUI the link to this page displays as home.aspx but again, it just opens a blank page. I can't imagine why this is happening. Any ideas?

This just keeps getting stranger. I created a new home page (node) and moved all of the existing content to the new node. Then I renamed the old one and renamed the new one to home.aspx. And still home.aspx loads a blank page. But the old page, now called OldHome.aspx -- which refused to display before -- now displays perfectly when called by name. Further experimenting shows that if I name the home page anything but "home.aspx" it works fine. But as long as it is named home.aspx, all I get is a blank page. At this point, I can just change the name since the site has not launched yet. But I am so very curious to understand why this is happening. Because it might happen again. At one time, it worked fine, then stopped all of a sudden. Anyone have any ideas at all? Is there something special/cursed about the name "home.aspx"?

Wow, that is weird!! Great debugging effort, Pete. I'm sure the reason no one replied to your posts is that nobody had any particular idea what to suggest. What version of umbraco are you running? Did you build it from source or just use the pre-built binaries? cheers, doug.

just a thougt from my mobile unit here... do you have a template with the alias "home"? maybe it could be the alt template syntax that is buggy?

Thanks, Doug. I'm using version 3.03 right out of the box (pre-built binary). I'm not going to worry about this any more since it doesn't seem to have happened to anyone else. Must be some strange fluke. I'm hoping it goes away when I deploy my site to a production server.

I didn't think of that, Morten. Nice thought, but that's not the case. The template was called "homePage" but I tried renaming it just in case... but no joy. Thanks for the suggestion anyway.

What is the structure of your site?
Does the root (/) use a different template than the /home.aspx?
