Hello,

I hope that someone can help me.  Today, I messed up my main portal (portal 0) when I tried to install a module while logged in as Admin.   My page at http://www.rightontop.net   will come up, but I am unable to log-in to try and fix it.  Unfornately, I did not make a backup of my latest work. (Recently installed the House Of Nuke Menu, and FCK Editor).  I do, however, have a backup of the new DNN installation available. 

 I am hoping that someone can tell me which files would have been affected when installing a new container.  Possibly, I can restore them so that I can log-in again so that I do not have to start over.   Thank you in advance.

The page will come up, but will not let me log in.  I can FTP fine, but do not know

Hi Mitchel,

Thank you for your fast response.  I am at a loss over here of what to do.  What I did was download the free red leaf skin from dnncreative.com   I then watched the tutorials and added another pane to it at the top.  Skinning seems pretty straightforward to me.  In the process, I was able to log in just fine (did so many times).  I had all by 2 of the validation errors fixed, and was almost done with it.

How I changed the original skin was to modify it in Visual Studio and FTP up the modified web.config, default.aspx, index.html and index.aspx files into portal 0.

Things went wrong when I uploaded a zipped container.  I then got an error on the default page.  After a refresh, it went away, but will not let me login (the link does nothing).

I have 6 other portals set up.  I haven't developed them yet.  I hate to  have to re-install the house menu and FCK Editor again should I start over. 

How does one protect against this?  How does one know which files to back-up?   Does anyone make a utility to back DNN up at regular restore points?

Thank you very much :)

How did you end up fixing it?
