Hello everyone,

I recently inhereted a DNN site that has went down as of yesterday (I made no changes to it).

On the front end I see the error

"500 - Internal server error.

There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

I looked at the logs in /Portals/_default/Logs and I see "2018-08-21 05:57:01,024 [WEBA9][Thread:37][ERROR] DotNetNuke.Common.Initialize - The connection to the database has failed, however, the application is already completely installed, a 500 error page will be shown to visitors"

Does anyone know how I could begin to start debugging this? I'm completely new to DNN. Thanks!

David,

looks like the connection to the database is lost somehow. Please check if the SQL Server is up and running and database is reachable.

Happy DNNing!
Michael
