 Hi every one, 

No idea what happened to my portal that has resulted in me unable to access the host settings page.

I get the following error

 

 
 Host Settings  Host Settings
 
 
Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable.

Accepted Answer 

 Solution found!

I started analysing and comparing my other DNN installations (folder structure ) against this one that is giving issues.  I noticed that all the others had a "Providers" folder in the root directory.  

In this portal that was giving the issues the "Providers" folder was inside the portals directory.  When I moved it out to the root.  

Resolved!

How is got their I have no idea,
