There's been activity betweeen these emails and I just wanted to update forum.

I reinstalled dotnetnuke new database again and this time managed to upload a very large template file, which was one of the things causing problems.

The thing is I created a site in dotnetnuke internally and the way I understood it was the only way to get that transported to a live site was to export a template. If theres another way please share it with me.

So I get the site up and running do some edits but get frustrated with the basic html editor so I installed the FCKEditor.

I copied the 2 files Delisoft.... & FredCK to the bin folder, copied entire DSKCK... folder to the htmleditorsproviders folder and edited my config file to include the new htmleditor details.

I now get a blank screen saying

Nothing To Install At This Time
Current Assembly Version: 04.00.03
Current Database Version: 04.00.03

I've tried switching back my config file to the old htmleditor but I can't move forward from the nothing to install screen.

Have I lost the site again completely?

I'm not liking the idea that if there's a config problem I tend to loose my site and I have to start the wizard over again. I know I made a huge mistake in not developing the site fully on the live server. But I like to test things out completely before I launch a new site. And I'm very happy with the way dotnetnuke runs on the internal site just having way too many problems getttig the internal site over to the live server.

Isn't there a way to simply transfer my internal site over to a live server? I'd love to hear it if there is.

I don't like the way that I have these freezing messages that I can't move forward on. Surely dotnetnuke is designed to use a database restore. What if I was developing live and had this freeze? Have I lost what I've done? How do I move forward if I can't get this screen away?

I'm tired and desperate, please help!  Gees sounds like I'm in the wrong forum! ;o) But that's the way I feel totally drained trying to get a dotnetnuke site running externally. As I mentioned internally the site runs fine no problems that's why I was querying way back if there's some other config file or setting that I'm missing.

I await help, thanks!

Give me the old fashion way of backing up a database and restoring it. This dotnetnuke appears to be very flaky and bails out when it doesn't like something. I'm really nervous about setting the site live when I eventually get to that - then something gets uploaded that the config file doesn't like and I get a screen that I can't move forward on.

Thanks Lee for your response but switching my web.config back doesn't seem to remove the error.
