Hi,
I am sorry to bother you with this small problem. I accidentally over wrote web.config with default one.
Now dotnetnuke thinks that i am installing it. What flag in web.config controls that is wants to try to make install?

Now i get always redirected to ./Install/Install.aspx?mode=none when i really would like to see my site =)

Thanks

If a web.config has been used to succesfully build a site, we write an installationdate value to it, so you could manually add that (as well as remove any dnn.config files that are caching the version) i.e. in the appSettings add

<add key="InstallationDate" value="27/01/2006" />

However, unless you have kept a copy of your MachineValidationKey and MachineDecryptionKey values, you won't be able to login.
