My DNN site went down after a year...Strange error message

My DNN site suddenly won't load after more than a year of operation. Strange error message - I cannot figure out what's broken. Can anyone else point me to what I might have to do to fix it? Reinstall DNN?

Server Error in '/' Application.

String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.FormatException: String was not recognized as a valid Boolean.

Source Error:

 The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

            

            1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

            

              <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

            

            or:

            

            2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

            

            <configuration>

               <system.web>

                   <compilation debug="true"/>

               </system.web>

            </configuration>

            

            Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

            

            Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

Re: My DNN site went down after a year...Strange error message

I found this error too in an old page (last updated in 2006).

For me, the solution was to remove rootonly="true" attribute from the SolpartMenu element:

<dnn:SOLPARTMENU runat="server" ID="solpartMENU" Level="Same" rootonly="true" />
