G'Day,

I am hosting my own (personal) site on my own server. I have been looking to upgrade it to something that has a 'plugin' type framework so I can add the functionality I want... DNN seems to fit the bill.

Great work!

After a few fauls starts, I stumbled upon a thread in this forum that suggested the 'Starter Kit' version. Tried that and all went well (that is, once I worked my way through the redirect to localhost thing. Again, thanks to the folks in this forum). Thanks hooligannes!

For my next trick I want to install the Blog module.

Unfortunatly, I can't find and basic, step-by-step, stupid proof, 'for dumbies' instructions.

I have gotten to the part where I'm logged in as host; Gone to Modules Definitions; Upload New Module.

The problem is that the module is, as you would know, a hole bunch of files (I have the install version). The upload interface only lets me upload one file at a time.

So how the HECK do I install module (I'm sure it's very easy and I'm missing something very fundamental).

Thanks,

Baggy

Thanks Nina...

I just remembered I would give you the error messeage that is being generated:

Failure ExceptionSystem.ObjectDisposedException: Cannot access a closed file. at System.IO.__Error.FileNotOpen() at System.IO.FileStream.Seek(Int64 offset, SeekOrigin origin) at System.Web.HttpRawUploadedContent.TempFile.GetBytes(Int32 offset, Int32 length, Byte[] buffer, Int32 bufferOffset) at System.Web.HttpRawUploadedContent.CopyBytes(Int32 offset, Byte[] buffer, Int32 bufferOffset, Int32 length) at System.Web.HttpInputStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipInputStream.FillBuf(Int32 size) at ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip.ZipInputStream.GetNextEntry() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.ReadZipStream() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

I am trying to upload the 'install' zip file.

Cheers,

Baggy

Nup. Same problem. I was installing from network drive so I also tried to move it to my local drive. I also tried it on the local server. Still no good.

I might try another module and see if the same thing happens. If not, it might be the install package (though I doubt it).
