Fixing Error "ADDING TO SITEMAPPROVIDER IN LOAD NODES()"
In Umbraco 4.9, we found our Sql database increasing in size rapidly.
We got an error stating -
"Error adding to SiteMapProvider in loadNodes(): System.Web.HttpException (0x80004005): 'http://mydomain.net/' is not a valid virtual path. at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.CheckValidVirtualPath(String path) at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.Combine(String appPath, String basepath, String relative) at System.Web.StaticSiteMapProvider.AddNode(SiteMapNode node, SiteMapNode parentNode) at umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.UmbracoSiteMapProvider.loadNodes(String parentId, SiteMapNode parentNode)"
We solved this by removing the sitemap configuration section from the web.config
<siteMap defaultProvider="UmbracoSiteMapProvider" enabled="true">
<providers>
<clear />
<add name="UmbracoSiteMapProvider" type="umbraco.presentation.nodeFactory.UmbracoSiteMapProvider" defaultDescriptionAlias="description" securityTrimmingEnabled="true" />
</providers>
</siteMap>
We also deleted all the old log files to free up the data taken over by the error
