I first  found that the controlbar was not letting me add modules.

I changed to the ribonbar and could do all functions

I then noticed that the journal will not  allow posts: returning and "unauthorized" pop up error

I then noticed that I cannot move modules from one content area to another, or rather the changes do not persist through a refresh of the page -they appear to move when requested through the ui but when the page is refreshed it is lost.

I am on a server 2008 web server. Is there some permission that is stopping the app from re-posting the page . the html editors etc  do not seem to have any problems.

I cannot find any events or errors in the dnn logs or the server logs.

Thanks for reading this and any ideas or thoughts are appreciated

I feel you are pointing in the right direction. Too many things are out of order.

I did do a manual install and set the file permissions manually so I could have something wrong....

Any further input is really appreciated.

Thanks

I too was having trouble with the control bar and switched to ribbon.  I just started another thread, but I'm thinking the issue I'm facing is very similar to this.  Same thing, if you move a module, it moves, but on page refresh nothing happens.  I do get MAC error in the logs at times. 

DNN 7.0.2   IIS 7.5   

 I tried the web.config fix mentioned in these forums, but that is for iis 7.

 Elijah have  you found a fix yet?
