Hi everybody.

After having several problems, migrating DotNetNuke from my local system to an ISP with shared hosting/medium trust,

I have come up with some usefull info.

First don't try to install it from the ISP website using the /install/install.aspx script when your ISP has assigned a custom user to the IIS application pool for your DNN application. This is not possible because the install script checks to see if user ASPNET has sufficient rights, while in your configuration ASPNET user is not used and the install script will not continue. You can probaply check if this is the case, in the control panel that let's you change file access rights of your webfolders, mostly it is described as:  ASP.Net worker process .

You can use Microsofts Database Publishing Tool to create an exact copy of your database using a single SQL script, this is handy when you are not able to restore your own SQL backups, which is very common in shared hosting.

You can download it here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=56E5B1C5-BF17-42E0-A410-371A838E570A

Further, don't forget to set the right file and folder permissions of your freshly created IIS Virtual Directory, and set the ASP.NET version to 2.0.

If you find yourself in a situation that you get redirected to some URL on http://localhost  you need to open the table PORTALIAS in your SQL manager, and change the alias of the first row, so it matches your new location.

And last, if you did all this but you get a situation in which opening your new site, creates IIS to go into a inifinite loop in which it keeps opening to same page, but never showing it's content, this probaply means that your ISP did not install the AJAX Library.

What you do is, remove the file 'system.web.extensions.dll'  from your BIN/ folder, and ask your ISP to install this file:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca9d90fa-e8c9-42e3-aa19-08e2c027f5d6&displaylang=en

This doesn't create any safety issues, it just installs this DLL into the Global Assembly Cache, and your site will finaly work in a shared hosting, medium trust configuration.

Greetings,

René Vaessen.

I have the same symptoms you described "And last, if you did all this but you get a situation in which opening your new site, creates IIS to go into a inifinite loop in which it keeps opening to same page, but never showing it's content, this probaply means that your ISP did not install the AJAX Library.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ca9d90fa-e8c9-42e3-aa19-08e2c027f5d6&displaylang=en" in this post and I still get the same symptoms.

I have recycled the IIS web site and application pool on the server.

I did find a warning in the application event log on the server that has entries in the stack that point to directories as they exist on my localhost.  The database I am pointing to in the web config is the same database I used when I installed on my localhost. Is that a problem or am I missing something else.

Hi..

While I wrote this first post, I succesfully fixed this problem you have quoted, on my local development system.

Just removing the .dll was enough to stop the infinite loop and make DNN work as it is supposed to.

But I was still waiting on my ISP, to reinstall the AJAX library, to make sure it is also installed in the Global Assembly Cache.

A day later, I received a message from this ISP, that the problem was solved, and that they checked that the DNN website was up and running.

But..!   On their system, it did not work without the .DLL in the bin\ folder of my application. So they copied it from their GAC to my BIN\ folder, and only from that moment on, it all worked.

I hope this helps you.

Greetings,

René.

I copied the System.Web.Extensions.Design.dll and the System.Web.Extensions.dll into my bin directory after renaming the original one from DNN, recycled the app pool, the website as well and I am still encountering the same symptom.

Also still got the SQL error with the stack trace referencing "D:\NetProjects... path which is on my localhost" as you can see below my server path should be "C:\WebSites\QualDNN\Website\ "
