Hi

Yesterday we've updated a DNN Site to DotNetNuke 4.6.0. The Installation Assistent didn't report any Errors or Warnings.

After the Update, the Login Module didn't load anymore. After clicking "Login" I got an Exception "Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I checked the EventLog in the Database and noted that this was caused in the Method "DotNetNuke.Services.Authentication.AuthenticationConfigBase.get_AuthenticationModuleID". I found some Posts in the DNN Forum of some People who got the same Problem but have no solution yet.

Cause:

Missing/wrong Records some of this DB Tables related to the Table ModuleDefinitions:

  1. ModuleDefinitions (FriendlyName = Authentication)
  2. Modules
  3. ModuleControls
  4. DesktopModules
  5. TabModules

 

I compared these Tables with those of the Database shipped with DNN 4.6.0 and adapted/added some Records.

Maybe someone would Research that more exactly and write a SQL Script which fixes this Issue.

Regards,
Beni

Hey Beni, I had the same issue after upgrading from 4.5.5 to 4.6.2. After digging into the code, I found that I did not have a module for ModuleDefID = 91. I installed a clean version of DNN 4.6.2 to a new database and found the record I was missing. I ran this SQL statement which fixed my login woes: INSERT INTO Modules (ModuleDefID, ModuleTitle, AllTabs, IsDeleted, InheritViewPermissions, Header, Footer, StartDate, EndDate, PortalID) VALUES (91, 'Windows Authentication', 0, 0, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0) Good luck to you. Mike

Please excuse my ignorance, but I just installed DNN for the first time today and also ran into the issue of not being able to login after making some edits to one of the sections on my default page.  Where/when would I run your SQL statement to try and correct this problem?

Thanks.

You would run the sql statement on your DotNetNuke database using a tool like Query Analyzer.  Before doing this, you probably want to query the database to see if you already have this module defined.  You can use this statement to only insert the record in question if it does not already exist:

IF NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM Modules WHERE ModuleDefID = 91) INSERT INTO Modules (ModuleDefID, ModuleTitle, AllTabs, IsDeleted, InheritViewPermissions, Header, Footer, StartDate, EndDate, PortalID) VALUES (91, 'Windows Authentication', 0, 0, 1, NULL, NULL, NULL, NULL, 0)

If you already have this record in your Modules table, you have some other issue.  Many times, people will set their portal's login page to be the home page.  If there is no account login module on the home page, you are out of luck because you are directing people to a page without a login module.  If you think that's the case, search around these forums.  There are MANY solutions to this issue.  I hope that helps.

I have just spent 3 days dealing with this issue myself.  However, I wasn't installing the newer versions of dnn 4.x.  I'm currently on dnn 3.x and when I updated my IIS server to 2.0 (so I could accomodate some newer modules I wanted to install - like the new forum module) I found I was unable to login.  However, it seemed only to happen with IE.  Attempting to log in with another browser (Firefox) was successful.  Changing the IIS server back seemed to help the IE issue.

Maybe my experience can shed some light on the newer installs, or not.

Cheers,

 

Lisa
