Hello all,

I'm going through a rather painful account upgrade at Webhost4life and have just now got my DNN instance up and running.. and I am getting the error pasted below when I try to view either the "Edit User Accounts" or "Manage Profile" page. This is DNN4.36 and I'm pretty sure it was still fine before the upgrade. I'm wondering what might be the cause of the following error:

I dread sending this into the support desk there as I've already got several tickets being (slooowly) dealt with and I haven't got a lot of confidence in it.

 Any assistance is much appreciated

Rob

Hi Rob,

Hard to say exactly, but that sounds like the error you get when you have two non-qualified classes that have the same name, so the namespaces are ambiguous. Sorry - doesn't help much but it may be an old assembly in the \bin dir that is no longer needed that is clashing with a newer one?

Hi Rodney and thanks for the reply,

I was going to write in your forums about this, because the last set of modules I installed before the shift was all the Smart Thinker ones I bought last week. The error may well have been happening before the shift as I likely didn't visit the profiles page and never saw it.

I installed as recommended them with the old versions first and the latest last. I've got all the modules installed apart from Homepages, which I removed. The very last one was Smart-Thinker - Referrals Gold PA 04.03.01.zip

I assume the error is caused by something that interacts with user management as that is where the error occurs. Do you think there might be a chance that the problem lies with one of these modules?

Thanks for any further assistance with this,
Rob

Rodney... since the last post, I sent you note with a link to here, just in case the forum didn't notify you of my reply.. and since then again, I put two and two together and reinstalled the Homepages module. Like magic the profiles management pages are back with no errors.

The only file I can see that it had in common with any other modules is the ModuleFramework dll, which it shares with the Quotes module....but I had read the warnings and understood that having the latest version present is the correct situation.. and the one left in the \bin was the latest version by a year - as supplied by the homepages module.

In any case, I'm pleased the site is back, but this is definitely not a good situation and needs to be dealt with in a better way.

Regards,
Rob

Woops I spoke too soon.. the error is gone, but only for the host portal... all my subportals still display the same error.
