Hi Muller,
If you are accessing a page that doesn't have a view then it will give you 500, not 404 because 404 status code is for page not found(in your case you have a page). So make sure you should have view associated with your page type or block type.
According to your stack trace, it is searching the view at "~/Views/Blog.../Index.cshtml" location so make sure you create a view inside this folder.
Thanks

Hi,
Does your second level page type have a controller associated with it? If your page type has a controller but no view you'll get an error like the one above. If it has no controller you should get a 404.
If your page type does have a controller then the easiest route would be to remove the controller but if, for some reason, you can't get rid of that controller (e.g. it's set up to handle a base type) you could take the approach used in the Alloy site and, in your IViewTemplateModelRegistrator, include something like the following:
public static void OnTemplateResolved(object sender, TemplateResolverEventArgs args)
{
//Disable DefaultPageController for page types that shouldn't have any renderer as pages
if (args.ItemToRender is IContainerPage && args.SelectedTemplate != null && args.SelectedTemplate.TemplateType == typeof(DefaultPageController))
{
args.SelectedTemplate = null;
}
}where your secondary blog page would implement IContainerPage and IContainerPage is just an empty interface.

I have implemented IContainerPage to my page. But I have separate controller for the page and args.SelectedTemplate.TemplateType is my blogcontroller which makes the condition false.

If the page has a separate controller but no view, could you not just get rid of the page controller?
The code snippet I posted was just a sample from the Alloy site which prevents pages implementing IContainerPage from being rendered by the default page controller which acts as a fallback for pages which don't have a controller of their own. If an IContainerPage has a specific controller defined, it will still use that. In your situation, if you can't get rid of the controller, it sounds like you need to either change "args.SelectedTemplate.TemplateType == typeof(DefaultPageController)" to "args.SelectedTemplate.TemplateType == typeof(BlogController)" or just remove that type check altogether so that instances of IContainerPage never resolve to a controller.
