I have created a new CMS enabled web applicaiotn in VS.NET 2003.
I then created a new Template Gallery and added a new item to it called
generic.
I then added a new htmlplaceholder to it and checked it in to cms.
I then associated this new Template Gallery Item to Home.aspx.
On the home.aspx page I added a new htmlplaceholder to it.
I then copiled the applicatoin.

but when I run my applicaiton in the browser, I get this error.

This operation requires the context of a Posting. The request must have a
valid Posting Url or QueryString so that the CmsHttpContext.Posting will not
be null.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the
current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information abou

Exception Details:

Tom,

You are halfway there. Now browse to the channel where you wish to create a
new posting. If you haven't done so already, create a channel using Site
Manager. Now access the authoring console and switch to edit site mode. You
will now see an option to Create New Page. Select the template you created
and populate your content into the placeholder. Then save and approve.

The aspx file your template uses can't be opened directly when it has a
placeholder control because they must be in the CMS context or you get the
error you reported.

Hi Tom,

sounds as if your web application is in a different application pool than
the root of the website.
This is not allowed with MCMS.
Ensure that the application pool of your web application is identical with
the application pool of the website root.

Cheers,
Stefan
