Hi 

I've installed and used 04.09.x using VWD 2008 and SQL Server Express 2008 on my home PC as a development environment for some time.

Experimenting with new releases with a view to upgrade, I have come across a few issues. Thinking that 05.02.03 would be the best option (ie. the last stable release) I did a completely fresh installation which went OK and after install I went to the home page OK. From here though, things went badly:

The home page URL is http://localhost:4721/DNN/

Clicking on the 'Home' link loses the port number (goes to http://localhost/dnn/Home.aspx) and I get Page cannot be displayed

So having searched the forums, I find the web.config setting to mend this, so fine I change the web.config entry, un-commenting <add key="UsePortNumber" value="true" />

This results in Page Cannot be Displayed for the home page. Hmmn. So I remove the entry, and the home page comes up again OK.

So then I try the Login link. The URL goes to http://localhost:4721/DNN/default.aspx? and I get Page cannot be displayed.

So I try a fresh install of 04.09.x and no problems. And then I try a fresh install of 05.02.02 (the previous available version) and it works OK too.

So am I right in thinking that these are errors with the 05.02.03 code? Presumably they have been noticed before?

Needing a 'new' version to upgrade to, is 05.02.02 therefore the best bet for me to go to - since it appears I can't use 05.02.03 with these problems? Or can anyone suggest a remedy.

Many thanks

Rob
