please restore a recent backup of your web.config file to a different location and make sure that both database connection strings haven't been changed.

Hi Sebastian,

You are my shining ray for any problems. I hope you are well?

 I compared the web.configs last night and they are the same. After a few server reboots and reseting the permissions on the folder I now have a new and unfriendly error:

DotNetNuke Error

An unhandled error has occurred.
Return to Site

When I click return to site the same error is cycled. WHen I go to passionateaboutit.net/install/install.aspx it's not loading anything.

Your help is greatly appreciated as always.

 

Thanks,

Andre
