I'm trying to beta test Cambrian, but got an install error.  I logged in to Gemeni and the issue doesn't exist, but i can't see how to enter a bug.  I also can't find a 5.0 beta forum, so I'll paste the error here.

***

This error occurs when first launching DNN after putting the correct db connection information in the web.config (using a copy of the development.config for the web.config).  I have both VS2005 and VS2008 installed so I don't think it can be an ajax controls issue but I may have only 3.5 controls installed; I'm not sure how Microsoft handles the backwards compatability.  I'm using Vista Ultimate and have other versions of dnn running on it fine (4.8.3 latest)

I've also got a problem with beta 5 - not sure yet if it is a bug or something I've done wrong.

I installed it locally using the custom install method, and the install was (apparently) sucessful.  However when I attempt to log on, nothing appears to happen - no control bar, no edit/view  radio buttons, no user name token, no logoff token. 

The login control did accepted the username/password (I did type them correctly ;) And redirected back to home.  The url says /Home/tabid/37/Default.aspx?runningDefault=2  - so it appears that the login was correct.

But instead of showing the control bar and etc, it still shows "Register Login", as if the login did not work.

Now I dont think it is a bug, surely login is working correctly on beta 5? :)  But on the other hand I did enter the correct username/pwd.  If I deliberately try to login with an incorrect username/password it does say  "Login failed" (as expected).

Any ideas?

Hi Sebastian - clearing cookies made no difference.  I do have lots of installs of various versions of DNN on localhost - and sometimes there are issues with cookies getting crossed.  But I cleared all cookies and the problem is the same.
