I'm also getting this error, as per he heading above,
whenever I add an htmlPlaceHolderCotrol into a template
file:
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.

I would like to understand what it is I have not done. My
guess is I haven't made some setting somewhere. I have re-
tracked my through tutorial note and not found anything
that seems to be related. I have however reviewed these
postings and don't understand the details. Specifically
how to locate and subclass the objects spoken of. This
space is new to me. Could you offer specific advise
and/or documents for me to read through.

Regards
Steve

I had exactly the same problem: even if you do not browse to default.aspx di
rectly, the MCMS will never 'kick in' to move you to the site editor.  I fix
ed the problem however: I was lazy enough to have a different name for the c
hannel (cmstest in the example) and the virtual directory on the webserver. 
 When I made sure the virtual directory on my server had the same name, I go
t a totally different error:  MainPort.aspx (or something like that) could n
ot be found.  Well, I knew I was getting somewhere now!  I went to the site 
manager, clicked the cmstest channel properties, moved to the Publishing tab
 and cleared the 'Script URL' field.  And bingo!

Don't know why I do not have this MainPort.aspx cause it should have been in
stalled by default in the MCMS\Server directory, but anyhow it works, and I 
can go on creating a site now!
