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):

So far, so good .

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.

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.
