Hi
I have dnn site that work well locally.but when I upload it to plesk it does not show me any skins or contenainers that i have in local host
when I export my local db to plesk it gives me other error that null value can not be inserted in dbo.EventLog table

can you help me plz>

Make sure that the hosted site meets the minimum requirements for DNN.

To move the site correctly, you must also move the database and the web directory. The database must include an alias for the hosted website. The web.config file must be edited to connect to the hosted database.

Are you hosted with a company that provides support for DNN. If so, they should be able to help you. If not, you're going to have to figure this out yourself. I assume that you do have access to the web directory (FTP?) and to the database (MS SQL Management Studio).

I have just encountered the same problem with the same repeating message. I have no access except via FTP and SQL server admin.
I have attached the latest SQL eventlog entry in a txt file, which I cannot make any sense out of. If anyone can help, please! GoDaddy support has so far not been helpful.
Thanks!

First, tell me how you moved the site from local to production?

This error actually looks like it may have something to do with IIS and/or ASP.NET. Which version of ASP.NET did you use in localhost? Which is configured in the production site?

Joseph,
If you are replying to my post, my site has been up for over a year, and has not had any module additions or changes for quite some time. THis error just occurred out of the blue.
I will add that I attempted to upgrade the DNN install using GoDaddy's scripts (several months ago), but they crashed, then their roll-back crashed. They agreed to restore from backup; result? The DNN site functioned, but some tools like document management no longer would successfully upload documents or images, or recognize those that I manually FTP'd to the site. Again GoDaddy does not seem to have much DNN expertise.
I don't know if that has anything to this current issue.

Sorry, I was confused by the title of the thread.

I will try to slog my way through the error message that you posted again, and with more awake eyes than this morning.

I do understand that Godaddy is attractive for web hosting due to cost. But, there are other choices. In particular, PowerDNN and AppliedI offer reasonably priced hosting with technical support prowess that greatly exceeds the economical cost. In other words, spend a few dollars more and you can get reliable hosting with quite good tech support.

Joseph,
I could not agree more, and yearn to move the site to another host. I have been considering 3essentials, who I have some limited, but positive experience with. As this is a client's site, the decision is up to them (believe me with my urging to move). Meanwhile, if you can help me figure out how to parse and decipher the eventlog message, I would be grateful.
Bill

Joseph, have you had a chance to review the eventlog entry?
Thanks, Bill

Also, do you know which version of ASP.NET is being used by your IIS?

Wihch version of DNN are you using?

Did you make any changes before this started to happen? What were they?

Is it possible to get a copy of the site? (Database backup and file directory backup)

Joseph,
Eventlog says DNN version 6.1.5
ASP.NET:
The GoDaddy control panel says "ASP.NET 2.0/3.0/3.5"
I see a reference in the eventlog to asp.net v2.0.50727
IIS v7

No changes were made just prior to the start of this error condition.
Last changes to site was 8/27, and this was simply to add a link on an HTML page.

I still have access to the site via FTP, so can copy all site files, i'm sure I can also get a copy of the site SQL DB. I intend to do this once I find a new host and get the OK from the owners of the site. I would still like to have this site working in the meanwhile.

Do you have any suggestions on how to parse the eventlog entries? It appears to be several messages strung together in one long string. Ugh.

Bill

The best recommendation is to get a copy of the site (directory and database), install them on a local computer, and see if you can get it to run there.

If that's not something you are comfortable doing, write to me privately and I can put you in touch with experienced folks who can help you with it. Use the Contact form at patapscorg.com.

As for parsing the event log, you can put it into a text editor and manually insert line breaks to make it more readable. The important part seems to be the part about ambigous (dual copies) of some files.

I'll go back to the notion that GoDaddy's tech support should be able to deal with this. It looks like some sort of IIS or related configuration issue.

Thanks Joseph, I've completed the contact form.
I'll have another go at GoDaddy support and see if I can guilt them into providing some actual support. The dual locations for files may be a good lead, there is not any way I could have done that as that is on the server side that I do not have access to.
I already had copied the eventlog into a text editor, I just have no idea where one message ends and another begins.

i ve the same issue installing 7.02.01 dnn version.
I ve verified connectionString parameters, restart pool and application in iis 8 on my windows 8 server.
I tried severals time to reinsall DNN
Logs are empty (See logs a the end of the installation)
It appears that DNN returns that url : http://www.dnndev.me/Default.aspx?t...&content=0

I don't understand what happens

If someone solve this problem ...

Regards

Pierre

Have you set up the local website as www.dnndev.me?

Also, at which point during installation does this occur? Before, during or after the installer runs?

Can you provide some details?
Which version of DNN?
Under which circumstances do the error occur? (New install? Moved?)

Dear Joseph,

I am facing problem here with my ortal hosted at godaddy.com. The last change I made was a little modification in the Search.ascx file in admin skins. I have reverted the changes and uploaded the old file again but still nothing changed as I cant even access any of my portal pages. I have checked the even log and it says The name 'SeeMoreText' does not exist in the current context.
Is there any file I have to delete in order the system to start recompiling as currently it seems that it is constantly shwoing the error page without even looking into the portal,,
url is:

http://zawaya.beyondexpected.com/dnn/

Do you recognize the name "SeeMoreText"?

Can you show more of the details of the message, like the stack trace?

-----
Without knowing more, I'd guess that the change you made to Search.ascx is the problem.

I have just changes the column size in the search textbox columns from 20 to 16 and then i reverted back once I got the error.

<asp:TextBox ID="txtSearch" runat="server" EnableViewState="False" CssClass="NormalTextBox" Columns="20" MaxLength="255">
