Hello,

I very new to DotNetNuke, and I am having trouble going from my development environment to a live site.  I have gone through and created my site on my local machine.  I have now compiled it and using the publish function in VS2005 published the site to a temporary folder.  I have moved the site files over to a MS 2003 server running IIS.  The site works fine, except user registration does not work.  Logging in as host or admin does not allow me to go to the user settings or even the first page after you click on users.  It gives me a long error message, but basically it is saying that it received an invalid string format (if you like i can re-create the error and place the error code here). I have read through the installation documents a few times, and I am not seeing what I am doing wrong. Any help in this would be really appreciated, i really would rather not use the copy of the souce code site on my live system.

 

Thank you in advance.

This is probably due to the machine name value in your web.config.  Generally, I use xcopy to move stuff rather than publishing.  If this is a new site, you are really better off just copying all the files from the DNN Install package to your server and install it against a new database.  Unless you are modifying the core there is no reason to try to push core code from your development environment to production.  When you develop custom modules, follow the module developers guide (see pinned post at the top of this forum topic).  That way you can just move out your new module and not have to touch the core.
