Common Umbraco error messages

With more and more of our Windows hosting customers using the popular CMS (content management system) Umbraco everyday, we decided to compile a list of common errors that occur during the installation.

Please note some fixes may need to have permissions manually applied, for these please contact a member of the support team on the usual methods.

Error:

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'H:\hshome\username\domainname.co.uk\App_Data\TEMP\PluginCache\umbraco-plugins.hash' is denied.

Fix:

Grant permissions to NETWORK SERVICE user

Error:

Error executing scheduled task: System.UriFormatException: Invalid URI: The hostname could not be parsed. at System.Uri.CreateThis(String uri, Boolean dontEscape, UriKind uriKind) at System.Net.WebRequest.Create(String requestUriString) at umbraco.presentation.publishingService.getTaskByHttp(String url) at umbraco.presentation.publishingService.CheckPublishing(Object sender)

Fix:

The issue is caused by the built-in task scheduler. Check the config\umbracoSettings.config file and find the scheduledTasks node. There you’ll find something that is supposed to run every five minutes and has a wrong URL specified.
