After upgrading from 5.2.3 to 6.0.0 I am having an issue with the Banner module on one of  my portals.

I was not able to solve this problem. I do have the Folder Provider entries in the web.config as per the  /Install/Config/06.00.00.config.

My error was similar but thrown by the Banner module and it could not find the imageURL.

There is some issue related to reading the folders. When I go into Host>Vendors, and then go under Banner Advertising and edit the banner....the File location drop down only has Cache/Modules as a choice....

I've tried Synchronizing files (recursive) in the Admin and Host File Manager...but to no avail.


If I use the regular editor to edit the content of an HTML module and then try to insert an image from the server...it is able to properly read the folders structure.


Any ideas?


Thanks in Advance,
Chad
