List Does Not Exist Error

If you have been working with Web Content Management in MOSS 2007, you may have run across a common error: 'List does not exist. The page you selected contains a list that does not exist. It may have been deleted by another user.'

This error sounds pretty scary. The real reason you see this error when trying to view a page is that the page is referencing another file that does not have a published version. This file could be a page layout or a master page file. If you go to the master page gallery and publish a version of both the page layout and the master page, you will be able to see your page without any errors.
