New Install Unable To Save User Groups Or Users?

[YodasMyDad (Lee)]

Anyone seen this issue before, I have installed a new Umbraco 17 install on a server, all seems fine, can login, click around, create a content type etc… I just can’t save a user group or user? I get

An error occurred
A fatal server error occurred. If this continues, please reach out to your administrator.

Yet there is nothing in the log?

Scratch, that I can’t save anything anywhere! I can create new items, just cannot save anything. Must be something wrong with the install…

Hey Lee,

I’m going to assume you’re running the site on IIS, and based on what you’re describing, you’re unable to save any changes.

If that’s the case, it could be related to WebDAV interfering with the requests. In IIS, you can try removing WebDAV from both the modules and handlers sections in your web.config, for example:

<modules>
    <remove name="WebDAVModule" />
</modules>

<handlers>
    <remove name="WebDAV" />
    <add name="aspNetCore"
         path="*"
         verb="*"
         modules="AspNetCoreModuleV2"
         resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
