Our organization decided to implement our site using friendly URLs with no extension. (ex. http://mysite.com/Products/ instead of http://mysite.com/Products.aspx) This was after I had already created some documents in a localhost installation. It took me a while to figure it out, but I found that if I checked out the existing documents, checked them back in and published them, Kentico created the new directories with the dummy default files and the pages viewed as expected.

Then I discovered that when I searched for a file, the search results were not linking to the files correctly. I added the Kentico tutorial pdf file to a /Documents/ folder. The search tool did find the pdf file, but the link it returned was http://localhost/Website/Documents/KenticoCMS_Tutorial_2005_pdf. Clicking on this link gives a 404 error.

I added /Documents to the CMSExcludedDirectories entry in web.config, but the problem remains.

Next, I discovered that going to the site root no longer goes to my home page. Where before http://localhost/Website/ would display my /Home page, it now goes to the default.aspx dummy file in the root directory. If I change CMSFriendlyURLStyle back to ".aspx", the /Home page displays correctly. I can't find a way to make http://localhost/Website/ display the /Home page.

Here are my current settings:
<add key="CMSWebApplicationVirtualPath" value="/Website"/>
<add key="CMSFriendlyURLStyle" value=""/>
<add key="CMSGenerateFriendlyUrlFiles" value="true" />
<add key="CMSExcludedDirectories" value="/Documents"/>

And my /Home page:
Type: Page (Menu Item)
Order: 0
ID Path: /9
Alias Path: /Home
Name Path: /Home
