I posted this on ASP.NET DNN Forum a little over a week ago. One person had a similar problem that was related to his PLesk 7.5.5 Control Panel. I am using Helm 3.2.8. Other than that, I didn't get much help. So, I thought I would try the DotNetNuke.com Forum (duhh).

I am not new to DNN. I have been using DNN 2.1.2 for about 18 months. I even wrote a couple of modules for fun. Now it's time to check out DNN versions 3 and 4.

So, I installed DNN 3.2.2 on my local machine without a hitch. Everything works perfect.

I then did a fresh install of DNN 3.2.2 on a remote server (most recent was this evening):

  1. copied contents of DNN 3.2.2 Install archive (after unzipping of course)
  2. copied web.config from local machine
  3. modified web.config with remote database settings
  4. created remote database
  5. created remote database user
  6. had hosting provider grant required permissions to Network Service
  7. browsed to the web site
  8. received back "successful install" message

So far, so good Big Smile [:D].

When I browse to the remote web site, the "Register" and "Login" links do not appear on the right-hand side of the page (as they do on my local installation). When I view the HTML source, the links are on the page, but there is no text associated with them. I.e. I have:

<a id="dnn_dnnLOGIN_hypLogin" class="SkinObject" href="http://mywebsite/Home/tabid/36/ctl/Login/Default.aspx"></a>

for the login link and a similar register link. Notice nothing (i.e. "Login") immediately preceeding the </a>.

When I attempt to link to the remote site login page manually using any of the following methods:

  • http://mywebsite/default.aspx?ctl=login
  • http://mywebsite/Home/tabid/36/Default.aspx?ctl=login
  • http://mywebsite/Home/tabid/36/ctl/Login/Default.aspx

the "Account Login" module appears.

When I enter the default host user name/password I am returned to the "Home" tab but am apparently not logged in because the "Admin" and "Host" menu items do not appear.

When I enter the default admin user name/password, I am returned to the "Home" tab. The "Admin" menu item does appear, but I am apparently not logged in because when I select a sub-menu item off of the "Admin" menu I am taken back to the "Login" page.

Needless to say, after playing with this for nearly two weeks, I am quite frustrated. Has anyone experienced this type of behavior with DNN in the past? Does anyone have any idea what might be happening?

Thanks in advance for the help.

Honestly I haven't seen this type of error before.  I would recommend just reinstalled DNN and making sure that all the file system permissions are set right.

I seen this once when I first started playing around with 3.0.1 or so.  The really weird thing was I could log on just fine using any browser from my FreeBSD system but from windows I didn't get the links to log in half the time and when I did I would get logged out straght away after hitting enter.

Turned out it was a problem with the software firewall (Zonealarm) I was using on my windows system.  Once I set every possible thing I could think of in ZA to off for my domain things worked mostly.  I finally had to completly uninstall ZA.

Since then no worries.

I have installed several times. Each time with the same results. If nothing else, this behavior is consistent. Although, there is one inconsistency. What's weird is that not all links behave this way. E.g. the DNN copyright link at the bottom of the page is fine.

Regarding permissions, is it possible to get a "Successful" install if the permissions were not set properly? I thought DNN tested to ensure that the permissions were set properly.

Does anyone know where the actual text for these links comes from. Perhaps the text source itself is corrupted?

Thanks.
