I have an interesting problem which I don't unerstand.

I created a subdomain on my host and had it included in the .net 2.0 app pool.  The appropriate aspnet/network user has all rights to the subdomain folder and subfolders and files.

I uploaded the install package (which worked like a charm locally on a winxp box), unzipped it, created a new empty database for it.  I modified my connection strings and db owner in web.config.

I ran setup and it looked ok.  Everything was successful including the installation of all modules.

When I bring the site up after the install, I see a windows login popup.  That confused me, so I entered the host login info.  That brought me to my dnn site.  But there was no content included in the site.  Also there were no modules other than the 5 or 6 core (even though it looked like they installed).  My Install/Modules folder is empty. 

I added a link, saved it, and when i went to edit it I got the following error:

Error: Edit Links is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Input string was not in a correct format. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal) at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info) at System.String.System.IConvertible.ToInt32(IFormatProvider provider) at System.Convert.ChangeType(Object value, Type conversionType, IFormatProvider provider) at System.Convert.ChangeType(Object value, Type conversionType) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.CreateObject(Type objType, IDataReader dr, ArrayList objProperties, Int32[] arrOrdinals) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.FillObject(IDataReader dr, Type objType, Boolean ManageDataReader) at DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities.CBO.FillObject(IDataReader dr, Type objType) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Links.LinkController.GetLink(Int32 ItemID, Int32 ModuleId) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Links.EditLinks.Page_Load(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

It appears that I'm having some sort or permissions problem.  Anyone else seeing anything like this?

Why are my modules not installing?
Why am I getting Windows login popups?
Is my Links Edit error related to the fact that the links module might not have installed correctly?

My modules seem to be installed.  Don't know what the problem was there with the prior install.  I don't know why I keep getting the windows login popup and why the install doesn't create the default content.

The install works fine on my local environment.  I spent hours with support from my host last night trying to figure out the problem, but nothing.

You can see what I'm talking about at: http://test.wingflap.com.

I created a new subdomain to try it from scratch and I keep getting the same results.

The answer may be in this thread.


DotNetNuke Modules from Snapsis.com

Thank you very much for the reply.  The thread you referred to was very interesting.  I just don't understand why this problem has just started with me and my host.  I've forwarded the information to them to see what they will say.

It seems then that the login prompt and the missing content are different issues.  Does anyone have any idea why the site created by the install package would end up with no default content?  I'm not as much concerned about the content as I usually delete it and start from scratch, but I'm wondering if there's anything else that might be affected that I should know about.

Again.  Thanks for the quick response.

OK.  The login challenge seems to be addressed in the link provided above.  I've removed my subdomain and did a fresh install in a top level domain.  I stilll have the same issue.

My issue with the Links module is unrelated.  It is addressed in a blog entry here:

http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/BlogsDotNetNuke/tabid/825/EntryID/1081/Default.aspx

My only open question at this point is why my installation of the install package did not populate any content.  I also noticed that when I tried to create a child portal, the only template installed was DotNetNuke.

Does anyone have any idea if this is related to the identity impersonation issue or if it's unrelated?
