Hello
I have a DNN site that was working fine but after I upgraded to 5.6.0.1 I get an error when I try to access the settings of a module.  Here is the error.  Any ideas on how to fix this?

Error: is currently unavailable.

As the errors refer to a missing setting for "Locale" I'd surmise that the error has to do with localization. Is this a multiple-language site?

I would check the localization settings in both the Host and Admin areas to make sure that a default language is assigned and is active.

If that doesn't work, some more details on the issue would be helpful.

It's not a multi language site, just english.  Where do I look for the localization settings? (sorry, I'm new).  While looking for the localizations I noticed that when I click Languages and Configuration Manager I get similar errors.  Does that shed any light?

 

Thanks

Start with Host Settings, Other Settings and uncheck the box that allows Content Localization.

Then go to Admin, Languages and make sure that there is a default language set and enabled.

The content localization box was already unchecked and I get this error when I click on languages...

Do you have any third party of custom modules?

Which version of DotNetNuke did you upgrade from?

I believe it was 5.5.0.  Is it possible this has something to do with the skin?  I just checked a site I have that uses a custom skin for the public page and the MinimalExtopy skin for the admin and I don't have the same problem. 

Yes, it could be the skin.  Temporarily switch the site's skin to Minimal Extropy.  If the problem goes away, then it is the skin.

Most likely, the problem would be the menu as that does include localization.  Which menu is being used?

I am coming across this issue as well, I just downloaded the new updates - ever since I have received this error whenver I try to go into the Settings of any module. I have tried changing the Skins to Minimal Extropy as you suggested - this does not work. I have also checked to make sure Localization was unchecked - it was. Language set to English which is the only type allowed.

I have also just downloaded some new Modules, unsure if this would cause the problem

See error below - similar if not an exact mirror of the error shown above.

Is there any way for me to look at your site?

The site is within a Company Intranet, and behind a firewall. So no What are you needing to see?

Not sure, but sometimes it helps to be able to look at the site, look at configuration issues, etc.  Then, sometimes answers spring to mind.

If you've successfully switched the site to a Minimal Extropy skin, look at third-party modules.

(For one site that was particularly difficult, I made a copy and, using the copy, started uninstalling modules one at a time until I found what was causing the problem I was having.)

I've tried uninstalling the modules that I installed that were an addition to the install modules. I have also switched skins to Minimal Extropy again and tested. Nothing seems to be working. Do you know if using the "Enable Localized Content" might fix it? I am afraid to test - as this will be a permanent change.

I recommend that you do your testing and experimentation on a copy of the site.  That way, there's nothing fatal that you can do.

As for your question, I'm not sure what the problem is, so it's hard to guess what might happen.

Any solutions yet for anyone? I'm still having the problem without any success.

Thanks.

Googling on your error turned up this comment in a DotNetNuke forum:

"It appears that the version 5.4.4 file DesktopModules\Admin\HostSettings\HostSettings.ascx.vb did not properly overwrite the version 5.2.2 file of the same name when you extracted the upgrade package and copied its contents over the existing files. It is quite possible that other new files did not extract properly as well.

Try right clicking over the upgrade zip file, select "Properties" from the context menu, and check if there is an "Unblock" button showing on the properties dialog. If so, click the "Unblock" button then try extracting the files from the zip package again and copy them over those of the existing site. The blocking of certain harmful files and the availability of an  "Unblock" button is a relatively new security feature added to the windows zip extraction of remotely downloaded zip archives.

 Make sure that you OK any files of the same name to overwrite those of the existing site."


So ... possibly the problem was a faulty file copy doing the upgrade.  As noted, the thing to try is copying the upgrade package over your site again.  As per other recommendations, make sure that you have a good copy of the site and database before you do this.  If possible, do this on a working copy of the site ... just in case.

Thanks Joe,

I re-downloaded the Update Zip from the DNN website. Copy/Paste the files over again after using the Unblock button. Then I used the Install page again. Now all the Settings are workings.
