DEV changes effect LIVE site?

Hi Joe;

When running my "mojoPortal Version 2.2.2.8 MSSQL" in Visual Studio (DEV) I deleted an Image Gallery page. The page, and menu disappears, as expected. Then I go run the LIVE system which uses the same mojoPortal database and the menu still shows the page, but; it gets this error:

2009-09-07 10:25:09,632 [3740] ERROR mojoPortal.Web.Global [(null)] - System.Web.HttpException: The file '/cms/images.aspx' does not exist. 

Any suggestions you have are very much appreciated,
Dale E. Moore

Hi Dale,

Thats not a good way to work. When a page is deleted the cache for the site maps is cleared, but it doesn't clear the one on your production site. You should not use the same db for production and development. You should use a backup copy of production db for your dev environment.

Editing content from your dev site using the same db as production is a good way to get your production search index out of sync as well. You should only edit production using the production site.

Dear Joe;

Thanks for the clarification; I will take steps to maintain DEV, TEST and LIVE databases.

Should I dig around here for documentation to correct the cache and search index?

One way to clear the cache is to touch the web.config file. Info about rebuilding the search index is here

Hope it helps,
