Setup: Vista Home Premium laptop running IIS 7, .NET 3 and SQL Server Express 2005 (with SQL Server Mgt. Studio Express). DNN 4.5.3 (preparatory to upgrading). Now that I can finally access my local copy of the site, I went through it looking for problems, and I found two, which I'd like some help in understanding:
1. Most (but not all) links to JPGs on the site don't resolve properly. The IMG HTML contains a statement that looks like this:
src="/Portal/0/..."
This should of course be src=http://localhost/osc/Portal/0/... As far as I can tell, all the document links on the site were converted correctly from src=http://www.oaklandsymphonychorus.org/Portal to the localhost form; but only a very small number of the JPG links were converted. I displayed one JPG by manually editing the HTTP. All these pictures were inserted by using the "Insert picture from Gallery" link in the Rich Text editor. I generally just pick the photo from the pop-up panel. Why are the document links properly converted to localhost but not the IMG links? Is there some way I can correct this short of manually editing all the TEXT/HTML modules?
2. We have several Gallery modules installed, which I use to display photos of our various events. Displaying the pages where Gallery modules were installed produces this error:
A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
No photographs display. I log in as a content administrator, and the Gallery module is there on the list of available modules to insert; but all the configurations and links I created (and we are talking hours of work here) are gone. I don't actually NEED them on the test site; but I'd like to know why they aren't there. If we ever need to move the site to another hosting company, this could be a considerable problem. I'd also like to know if there's some way to restore the galleries short of manually recreating them.
Advice and information gratefully accepted.
