I have  a fresh install on DNN 5.0 and I receive the following error when I try to view the Dashboard:

A critical error has occurred.
Property accessor 'ShortFileName' on object 'DotNetNuke.Modules.Dashboard.Components.Database.DbFileInfo' threw the following exception:'StartIndex cannot be less than zero. Parameter name: startIndex'

This is installed on a webserver with a separate database server.  Any ideas?

Found the problem.

The ShortFileName in DbFileInfo formats the value of the database file path stored in the database.

Dim

sname As String = String.format("{0}...{1}", FileName.Substring(0, FileName.IndexOf("\"c) + 1), FileName.Substring(FileName.LastIndexOf("\"c, FileName.LastIndexOf("\"c) - 1)))

I set up my database on the root of a drive, which causes this to throw an exception.  Once I moved my database into a folder the dashboard started working.  The format is still off, but at least it works.

I am having this problem with DNN 5.01.04.  Is this still an issue for hosters?  I just submitted a ticket to one of my hosts.

I am getting the same error. Giving the database user all rights did not help. Any other ideas? Started happening after I upgraded to 5.6.1
