Hi there @teeto!

Firstly, a big thank you for raising this issue. Every piece of feedback we receive helps us to make Umbraco better.

We really appreciate your patience while we wait for our team to have a look at this but we wanted to let you know that we see this and share with you the plan for what comes next.

• We'll assess whether this issue relates to something that has already been fixed in a later version of the release that it has been raised for.
• If it's a bug, is it related to a release that we are actively supporting or is it related to a release that's in the end-of-life or security-only phase?
• We'll replicate the issue to ensure that the problem is as described.
• We'll decide whether the behavior is an issue or if the behavior is intended.

We wish we could work with everyone directly and assess your issue immediately but we're in the fortunate position of having lots of contributions to work with and only a few humans who are able to do it. We are making progress though and in the meantime, we will keep you in the loop and let you know when we have any questions.

Thanks, from your friendly Umbraco GitHub bot :robot: :slightly_smiling_face:

I can reproduce. Updated appSettings.json to the following:

{
  "$schema": "./appsettings-schema.json",
  "Serilog": {
    "MinimumLevel": {
      "Default": "Information",
      "Override": {
        "Microsoft": "Warning",
        "Microsoft.Hosting.Lifetime": "Information",
        "System": "Warning"
      }
    }
  },
  "Umbraco": {
    "CMS": {
      "Runtime": {
        "Mode": "Production"
      },
      "Global": {
        "Id": "a770bdfc-0fe8-45df-941b-dda79686d7da",
        "SanitizeTinyMce": true,
        "UseHttps": true
      },
      "ModelsBuilder": {
        "ModelsMode": "Nothing"
      },
      "Content": {
        "ContentVersionCleanupPolicy": {
          "EnableCleanup": true
        }
      },
      "WebRouting": {
        "UmbracoApplicationUrl": "https://localhost:5001/"
      }
    }
  },
  "ConnectionStrings": {
    "umbracoDbDSN": "Data Source=(localdb)\\MSSQLLocalDB;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\\Umbraco.mdf;Integrated Security=True",
    "umbracoDbDSN_ProviderName": "Microsoft.Data.SqlClient"
  }
}

Then did a publish: dotnet publish -c Release -o .\publish. In the publish directory ran the MyProject.exe and went to https://localhost:5001/ where I ran the installer and then the starter kit installer kicked in (used the https://www.nuget.org/packages/clean starter kit). All of the URLs present with "Page not found".

Hi @teeto, you probably still have the RazorCompileOnBuild and RazorCompileOnPublish properties in your project file set to false... Because Production runtime mode disables Razor runtime compilation, views are only available when they're compiled on build/publish, hence the need to remove these properties (or explicitly set them to true - the default value). If you don't, Umbraco returns a 404 because it can't find the template.

The documentation mentions this:

• Although this setting affects how Umbraco behaves at runtime, some modes have prerequisites on how the project is built/published. Make sure to read the descriptions of each mode before changing this setting from the default BackofficeDevelopment mode [...]
• Development mode:
  • It is a recommended prerequisite if you want to use the Production mode in your production environment.
  • You can remove the following properties from your csproj project file to enable the compilation of Razor views (which also ensures your views do not contain compilation errors and is a prerequisite for enabling Production mode):

    <RazorCompileOnBuild>false</RazorCompileOnBuild>
    <RazorCompileOnPublish>false</RazorCompileOnPublish>

• Production mode:
  • Production mode requires you to compile your views at build/publish time [...]

I've created a PR to update the documentation to make this more explicit: https://github.com/umbraco/UmbracoDocs/pull/4269.

Let me know if this fixes the issue for you and whether adding this note might have avoided the confusion! I also recommend watching the Unboxing Umbraco 10.1 video, as I've included this gotcha in the demo 😄

Thanks @ronaldbarendse i have made those changes and now it works! I did not read the docs throughly enough and i understood the contrary, that they had to be false :)

[ronaldbarendse]

Great to hear @teeto! I'll close this issue as it's fixed and we'll have this more clearly documented 📖💪🏻
