Upgrading SP1 to SP2 makes my custom VPP fail

Vote:

I upgraded an SP1 site to SP2 today and now all pages get an ASP.NET error.

I enabled full logging and this is the uncaught exception:

2009-09-03 06:38:11,924 DEBUG [9] EPiServer.Web.UrlRewriteModuleBase.BeginRequestEventHandler - Starting request with Url http://localhost/

Since the error seems to be related to VPP, I removed my custom VPP from Web.config. That makes the site work again.

Weird part is though - the stacktrace doesn't include my code. I figure there's some null path parameter being passed somewhere, but can't figure out where.

The site worked flawlessly before the upgrade, now this?

Hi,

from what I can see the problem is caused by the property VirtualPathRoot that is null in your custom VPP.

Check the constructor of your VPP and make sure you set VirtualPathRoot:

VirtualPathRoot = VirtualPathUtilityEx.ToAbsolute(ConfigurationParameters["virtualPath"]);
if (String.IsNullOrEmpty(VirtualPathRoot))
{
throw new EPiServerException("CustomVPP configuration missing or empty attribute 'virtualPath'");
}
