Love to code, although it bugs me.

Error when starting a fresh install of Umbraco CMS

No comments
Trying out Umbraco to get a feel on the ease of use and potential professional use, I got the following error when trying to start the site based on the simple starter kit :

 This was disappointing, especially because we're talking about a fresh install and I hadn't fiddled with it yet.
After some scouring on the Web taking into account Umbraco was complaining about the umbraco.cms.businesslogic.macro.MacroModel, I found the solution was to edit the starter kit template so it wouldn't use macros that were not installed. So, first step, go to the Umbraco administration site and navigate to the "Developer" screen:

Expand the "Macros" node on the tree and check what macros you've got installed and take note of their aliases:
Next navigate to the "Settings" screen:
Then choose templates and the "StarterKit Master" template:
In the editor, search for any macro which has an alias that doesn't match any of the currently installed. In my case it was the "BlogFeedRssLink":
After removing this line and saving the template, the site worked fine.
