' Criteria of the broker query is also correct i don't see any issue

Any help will be highly appreciated thanks in advance.

Answer 1

There are two things that you should check:

1. cd_storage_conf.xml is pointing to correct broker database. If there is mismatch then there are chances that you will not see the page.
2. Check web.config of the application to make sure that you don't have DD4T.CacheSettings.Page set to a big value.

Either of the above case will give the behavior that you are noticing.
