It's effecting regular users and bots. We think we remember seeing another user slash developer reporting the same issues as the number of URLs increases, but it's becoming a hassle. Code: The file '/thefilename.aspx' does not exist.[ at System.Web.UI.Util.CheckVirtualFileExists(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVirtualPathObjectFactory(VirtualPath virtualPath, HttpContext context, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean noAssert) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CreateInstanceFromVirtualPath(VirtualPath virtualPath, Type requiredBaseType, HttpContext context, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean noAssert) at System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory.GetHandlerHelper(HttpContext context, String requestType, VirtualPath virtualPath, String physicalPath) at System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory.System.Web.IHttpHandlerFactory2.GetHandler(HttpContext context, String requestType, VirtualPath virtualPath, String physicalPath) at System.Web.HttpApplication.MapHttpHandler(HttpContext context, String requestType, VirtualPath path, String pathTranslated, Boolean useAppConfig) at System.Web.HttpApplication.MapHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) What's causing this, how can it be prevented and or is it a bug?

For example I have a page such as /toys.aspx -- I have a folder on my site for my affiliate program (/idevaffiliate) -- I will see dozens of entries that say "/idevaffiliate/toys.aspx does not exist" -- well, duh it doesn't exist. The question becomes who and where is getting the idea that it DOES exist? From what I can tell it doesn't cause a REAL error for any customer, I just think that BV somehow reassigns the path for error reporting purposes or something. At one point there was a post (and this has been several months ago) that either Justin or Marcus said they were aware of this issue and were working on it, but nothing after that. This combined with search engines looking for pages that no longer exist (pages from my previous cart) -- and I dont know how long that takes to clear out -- it's been 9 months -- makes the error log a near useless feature.

I get combined urls betwen products (Products) and categories (Games): /Products/Games/Family-Games.aspx when it should be just /Games/Family-Games.aspx First I thought it was a bug in some browser but I seem to get it from IEs, FF and Opera. I can't seem to be able to trace it unless I start to log all the outputed files which might be a bit of a pain. Regards, Corneliu

Years of indexes in the engines so the redirects are getting real annoying. So I'm seeing similar errors to what you have above. It's not the end all, but you might want to build some individual sitemap files and submit them accordingly. double check any product feeds you have going, ppc campaigns, any RSS feeds you may have as well. I'm working hard to stay on top of it, but the whacky links that corneliu and joe report pop up from time to time as well.

Our problem isn't bad URL's, these really exist but from time to time aren't pulled for some reason. IE, they aren't active and bots give up and so do customers. It's some type of serving error.
