Hi all,

I'm new to Drupal so please forgive me if I'm missing something obvious. I am trying to create a "Links" page for my site using a view to display the page. I have the "Path:" option in the view set to "/links" but when I go to http://drupal:8888/links I get "The requested page could not be found.". If I change this path to something else it works. I know I did first try to create the /links page using the basic page content type, which I then deleted when I started using views. I believe that Drupal isn't allowing me to reuse the URL of a page that I have previously created, even though it has now been deleted. Please can someone tell me how to free up this path name?

Thanks for any help.

Tom

Hi DarkstarTom,

In this situation, you need to add a unique url for this because we cannot reuse the same url alias in site. or if you want to use this then you need to delete url alias entry from database tables.

Thanks

Thank you so much Ravi, I deleted the row from the url_alias table and now it's working.

Can you think of other reasons why the root path for a view might return 'Page not found'? Because I'm seeing the same behavior and I've verified that there are no conflicting aliases or redirects.

EDIT: Here's another thing that can cause it

If you are using contextual filters & find that the root path for your view (e.g. in this case '/news-listing') is returning 'Page Not Found', make sure that the page has a TITLE when it's rendered in that view.
