[Bug]: Creating Portals When a Prior Portal Existed Fails With Workaround #7247

Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing issues

What happened?

Using a clean installation a number of child portals were created, for the purposes of example /child1, /child2, /child3, etc.

A mistake was made and a child portal was deleted. The system was restarted an there was no history of the child portal being there.

An attempt was made to create a new portal with the same alias, it failed with an error that the name was already used (but it wasn't).

A site was created with a dummy name, and it created, and then it was possible to add the desired alias without error.

Steps to reproduce?

  1. Create a child portal, call it "Site1" with a path of www.mysite.com/Site1
  2. Delete the child portal
  3. Restart the app, just to be safe
  4. Try to create a new child portal "Site1" and see the failure

In looking at this, I believe it may be related to the default.aspx that is added into the sub-folder, which isn't really needed.

Current Behavior

Unable to create the portal and have to workaround the use of a dummy value and adding a new one.

Expected Behavior

I should be able to create a new portal with a name of a prior deleted/removed portal.

Relevant log output

Anything else?

The above workaround is an easy way to get aroud it if you understand, but not easy for those new to the platform.
