Re: STS 1.0 - "The list or view of a list that is referenced here no longer exists"



This message in STS comes when the database and the file system are not in
sync.

The reason that the new lists work fine is because these are still in sync
as when they were created they were added to both the database and the file
system correctly.

You should consider what you have been doing to put them out-of-sync. (One
possibility being that you have *on the server* (rather than on the web
site) moved things around (and thus not updated the version in the
database).

If this is the home page of a site, the easiest thing to do is to modify
that home page using the User Interface I.e. Site Settings and first move a
list off the home page then Save; then move it back again and Save again.
This will cause the database to be updated with the actual state and things
should be in sync again.

If this doesn't work then the next level to correct this is to run System
Health. When you do this *do NOT* select any of the security options (as
selecting them could make your site even not work) and select as few of the
other options as possible (what you need will be obvious). After a Security
Health run, again the database and the file system versions will be in sync
and you shouldn't get these messages.
