Hi All;

I copied my DNN installation from another computer - I copied/restored the database, and also all of the installation files. 

The new site launches fine, and I log on as host. All the pages are there, but I get page load exceptions on the Site Management, ActivityFeed, and other core pages. Can anyone give a hint as to how to fix this?  I have tried a few things, and suspect it might have to do with the site settings->alias.

I'm stumped.  Please help.

Here is the log entry:

Hi Folks;

I Googled around for this error, and found reports that spaces in one or more of the directories in the installation file path can throw this error.  I re-configured all the files to a direct sub-directory under wwwroot (no spaces) and now this problem seems to have been resolved.   I didn't have the problem with this on XP, but then I had set up a virtual directory as the site, with a physical path to the installation directory, The virtual directory had no spaces in any component of the path. 

Most of the issues I've had are with the initial set-up, before the fun part of building a terrific web site can begin!
