Hi I am getting the following error with the forum module by clicking admin > general settings.
This was the steps I took, first we started of with a 4.4.0 version of DNN, we upgraded to 4.8.2 and just recently upgraded again to 4.9.0
I installed the following module on version 4.9.0 and got an error. I checked the bin folders and found the following DLL’s
30/09/2008 05:39 626,688 DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.dll
11/04/2007 16:15 73,728 DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.Integration.dll
11/04/2007 16:15 36,864 DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.Popup.dll
11/04/2007 16:15 40,960 DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.SQLDataProvider.dll
When I checked my test environment we only had the following DLL DotNetNuke.Modules.Forum.dll
So I deleted the other three DLL’s thinking that this was from an older version of the forum module. The error went, but now I get the following error when going to the admin > general settings.
I have tried moving the resource files across to the production environment, could it be an issue where the forum folder/files in the environment need to be replaced too? Thanks for your help in advance.
