nHave you ever come across such error? I faced.. and solved
n
nThis error is basically related to the module element and usually comes when you try to provision a file to the SharePoint site which never exists on physical path / file system of the server
n
nHere is the example case:
n
nI am trying to provision a page named stylish.aspx to pages library same as default.aspx in onet.xml
n
n
n
n<Module Name=“SampleModule“ Url=“$Resources:cmscore,List_Pages_UrlName;“ Path=“”>
n
n
n
n<File Url=“Default.aspx“ NavBarHome=“false“ Type=“GhostableInLibrary“>
n
n <Property Name=“Title“ Value=“My Default Page“ />
n
n <Property Name=“PublishingPageLayout“ Value=“~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx;“ />
n
n <Property Name=“ContentType“ Value=“$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_page_name;“ />
n
n</File>
n
n
n
n<File Url=“Stylish.aspx“ NavBarHome=“false“ Type=“GhostableInLibrary“>
n
n<Property Name=“Title“ Value=“My Stylish Page“ />
n
n<Property Name=“PublishingPageLayout“
n
nValue=“~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/ MyPageLayout.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx“ />
n
n<Property Name=“ContentType“ Value=“$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_page_name;“ />
n
n</File>
n
n</Module>
n
n
n
nIf you try above case then you will get this error, unable to insatiate module ……
n
nWell what’s the problem?
n
nYes , I was trying to add page named Stylish.aspx with virtual url Stylish.aspx which never exist
n
nIf you open any site template directory under [14]\Layouts\Template\SiteTemplate then you will find default.aspx and that’s the reason why SharePoint needs that
n
nSharePoint searches file named default.aspx on file system and then provisions file to SharePoint site
n
n
n
n
n
nSolution:
n
nSo above error can be solved like using a Name attribute of File Element
n
n
n
n<Module Name=“SampleModule“ Url=“$Resources:cmscore,List_Pages_UrlName;“ Path=“”>
n
n
n
n<File Url=“Default.aspx“ NavBarHome=“false“ Type=“GhostableInLibrary“>
n
n <Property Name=“Title“ Value=“My Default Page“ />
n
n <Property Name=“PublishingPageLayout“ Value=“~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx;“ />
n
n <Property Name=“ContentType“ Value=“$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_page_name;“ />
n
n</File>
n
n
n
n<File Name=“Stylish.aspx“ Url=“Default.aspx“ NavBarHome=“false“ Type=“GhostableInLibrary“>
n
n<Property Name=“Title“ Value=“My Stylish Page“ />
n
n<Property Name=“PublishingPageLayout“
n
nValue=“~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/ MyPageLayout.aspx, ~SiteCollection/_catalogs/masterpage/MyPageLayout.aspx“ />
n
n<Property Name=“ContentType“ Value=“$Resources:cmscore,contenttype_page_name;“ />
n
n</File>
n
n</Module>
