I was running DNN 5.6 (I know, outdated, but it worked), and my hosting svc decided to migrate servers without informing me (voxdomains). I now receive the following error when trying to access my site. It seems to be from a 3rd party module that i do not even use, and I have no idea how to fix the situation.
I received an answer from Sebastian which said to make sure the .net framework was version 3.5 SP1. Unfortunately I am using DNN via shared hosting, so I do not have access to their servers. For some reason they are unable to upgrade the .net framework, or to tell me how to do so. I have access to the DNN installation files via FTP, but I would imagine that the .net framework cannot be upgraded that way. Is this correct? I'm at the point of dumping the entire site (and possibly the hosting service), but I want to exhaust all options first.
In addition, this obout_ASPtreeview is a menu module (I believe) that I do not even use on my site. Is there a way to manually delete references to this file/assembly? If so, in what DNN file would the reference be located?
