Hi Everyone.

I have a customer setup with an older version of DNN 2.1.2. The site has worked so well for her she has not needed to use a newer version. She is using a Win2003 Ent server with SQL 2000. The site was working great until last month. I finally narrowed it down to a corrupt Access Database within the Providers\DataProviders\AccessDataProvider\DotNetNuke.mdb.resources file. Ultimately this is my fault as I had failed to correctly point to the sql server in the web config for the database string. So it used the access file by default. So now I have the portal pointing at sql and I used the sql ent manager DTS to import the access database. The home page comes up now. I can now load the custom skin the customer made. But all her containers, tabs, info, and pics on the pages is gone. Is there another file I failed to import? Or is there a script or setting I can use to get the portal to see the old data and display it how it was?

 

Thanks

Sin

there might be a different format used, try entering the Portals and Tabs tables and check the values against one line, where a working skin is configured.

Thanks Sebastian

You lead me down the right path. The issue was with two different databases looking for two different files. For access it uses DotNetNuke_Tabs. SQL uses Tabs. So once I renamed the tables the tabs came up. Now my issue is where the actual container text and pointers to pics are at. Does anyone know? I have gone through every table in the database and can't find the text. I am wondering if there is a pointer and a seperate file or seperate databse that Access uses to store the text.

"File pointers" are fileID from Files table, which gets recreated during File sync in upper right corner of Admin :: FileManager, scheduled File sync or autosync in Host Settings.
