I was trying to turn off the "Login" link at the top right of the DNN site and now I am getting a Run time Error page when I click on the Log in. Is there a way to fix this? The rest of the site works fine, just can't log in to edit. I kept getting a lot of people trying to hack in. Or at least I was getting a lot of failed log in attempts from a certain Geo area. So I was trying to turn off the Log in function to stop these hacking attempts and somehow killed the whole function. This is the Message I am getting when you click on the Log in;

 Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Server Error in '/Nashvilleskydiving.org' Application.

If you modify your web.config so that you change the word, "RemoteOnly" to "Off" then you can see what the actual error is. 

Since you removed the login link, I am not clear on how you are clicking on the login link.  Can you explain that more?

I need to rephrase that, I tried to remove it because of the people trying to hack in. I went in to the "Admin" Page and unchecked a couple of boxes that appeared to be something related to the Login, or Online editor or something like that. I can't get back in to know exactly what they were called, but there was either two or three of those features that I disabled.

 How that gives you a better idea of what I did.

 Thanks, Jeff...

Was it the "AUTHENTICATION" tab under the ADMIN menu?  You may have unchecked "Enable" under the "DNN Authentication" setion within the "AUTHENTICATION" tab.  If so, you'll need database access to reset the right bit within the DNN DB.

The DNN authentication bit is found in the table "AUTHENTICATION".  The column name is "IsEnabled".

Here's the full info for the row you're interested in checking in your DNN database's "AUTHENTICATION" table (you want to make sure your row with "AuthenticationType = DNN" looks the same as this one):

AuthenticationID PackageID AuthenticationType IsEnabled SettingsControlSrc LoginControlSrc LogoffControlSrc
1 -1 DNN True DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/DNN//Settings.ascx DesktopModules/AuthenticationServices/DNN//Login.ascx  

Good luck!

Hey, thanks for that info, I will check in to that and let you know how it works. I believe you're right about it being the "Authentication" box.  Is there a way to set it up so that I have the full access to editing without logging in through the site? That is what I was trying to accomplish. Maybe make that "Login" link go away but still be able to access it via another way either by pre-saving the link in my "Favorites" menu, or another way if there is one.

I'll let you know how it works.

  Thanks again, Jeff.
