I have followed the steps that were given in one of the sites where Micheal Washington outlined  basic module development. I was trying to create a guest and I recieve the following error.

 

Anyways, while trying to start building custom module using your Guestbook example, I stumbled upon the following error. It throws an exception that the .ascx file doesn't get exist. Whereas it actually exists. I am not sure what is wrong in there. Can you please guide me.

 

Error: Guestbook is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The file '/qamentor/DesktopModules/Guestbook/ViewGuestbook.ascx' does not exist. ---> System.Web.HttpException: The file '/qamentor/DesktopModules/Guestbook/ViewGuestbook.ascx' does not exist. at System.Web.UI.Util.CheckVirtualFileExists(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

 Can some one help resolve this.

The ViewGuestbook.ascx file probably exists but it's refrence is not correct. The path to your file is "/qamentor/DesktopModules/Guestbook/ViewGuestbook.ascx" but I think it should be "DesktopModules/Guestbook/ViewGuestbook.ascx". You can correct this very easily.

Log in as host and go to Hosts-Moduledefinitions

Click on the pencil beside your module

Scroll down and click the pencil beside the ViewGuestbook.ascx control

Clear the textbox where it says "Source" and select the correct "ViewGuestbook.ascx" file from the dropdown list.

If you have created an install package you will have to open the .dnn file and copy paste the correct path.
