In my continued effort to freak out publicly in the DotNetNuke forum, here is my lastest error. I restarted the app by reloading web.config. Then I got the following error:

http://www.fleetsweep.com/portal/Default.aspx?tabid=36&error=Could+not+find+a+part+of+the+path+%27D%3a\hshome\bradmorris\fleetsweep.com\portal\App_GlobalResources\Locales.xml%27.&content=0

I had published this website using visual studio 2008. I tried to copy the App_GlobalResources directory to the hosting provider and got this next:

Server Error in '/portal' Application.
The directory '/portal/App_GlobalResources/' is not allowed because the application is precompiled.
