I am trying to use DotNetNuke for the first time. I have muddled
through much in the way of difficulties and had my site up to a point
where I could get all the pages to serve up, and could register new
users, login, change passwords, and a bunch of the administrative
stuff. The only problem was that many of the modules would give me a
message that something was unavailable. For instance, in the welcome
module, "There was an error. Welcome is not currently available." I did
some searching and found what I believed was my problem. In web.config,
I had changed the connection strings, but in the second one I had
forgotten to change "SiteSqlServer" to "DotNetNuke". While I suspect
this was my problem, I had not been able to prove it, because when I
went in and changed web.config so it said "DotNetNuke" in both of the
appropriate places, it broke the whole thing. Nothing worked.
I
tried rebuilding the site, to no avail. I get a runtime error every
time. I have tried putting the lines in web.config to get it to show me
the error, but then it won't build. I'm fairly new to developing with
dotnet, so I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.
I tried deleting
the database, deleting all the files, and starting over with a fresh
upload of dotnetnuke, with a brand new database, and have actually
tried that several times to no avail. Has anyone here had any problem
similar to this one?
I have
copy/pasted the connection string exactly like it is supposed to be (from my hosting - freewebdot.com). Like I said, I got it
working before so I know I was connecting to the database, but now I'm
not sure what I'm doing wrong.
On another note, I was unable to
get dnn to work on my local machine using VS2005 and setting it up with
file system rather than IIS hosting, but what I found for my solution
was to upload the files after unzipping, and building remotely (rather slow, but it worked that one time). My web site (don't know what you can get from it, but here it is) is www.eaa241.org/dnn (for now the original frontpage website is on the root directory - didn't want to change anything until I got dnn to work.)
Any and all help is much appreciated.

I've made some changes. Started out with dnn in the root directory, and now I think that my host doesn't allow me to change write permission in that directory, so I put it in another folder and gave it write permissions. I also have figured out how to change web.config to get it to show me the error, so maybe that'll be helpful. I'm not sure what it means... My site is at www.eaa241.org and the folder is eaa241. Thanks in advance! Here's the error message that I'm getting: [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
