Hi all. I'm really new at DNN; first tried it last summer, got freaked out and quit and went to play with some other ASP.NET CMS thingies, so I now have a little (really little!) bit more understanding of how things work with these ASP.NET thingies (really diff from Linux thingies, that's for sure!). But I like DNN; the more I keep coming back to it, the more I find to enjoy about it. I had no difficulties at all with the installation, which certainly wasn't the case when I first tried to install it last summer. And thank you so very much for providing some actual written docs for the installation and operation; that is so rare, I applaud you! A video is not a substitute for "RTFM," but not many seem to get that.
However, there does seem to be a small problem with remembering login info; I read about it in the docs, and I found the box to check in the config page, and it's all set; I also checked in my Firefox cookies, and there was in fact a cookie for my URL which was denoted "authentication." It didn't seem to be doing anything, since I have to enter username/pw everytime I login, so I deleted it and tried logging in again, thinking Firefox would prompt me to save a pw, but it didn't; and yes, of course, everytime I login I check the "remember login" box, but it still doesn't remember me. This seems most odd to me, and I searched the forum for both "login" and "cookie" but didn't find anything remotely approaching this particular issue, at least not anytime recently. Is there some other setting I should look at/adjust, to try and correct this? I can't figure out if it's more of a DNN issue or a firefox issue, but cookies are working for other sites, both my own sites and others, so it does seem to be this site; could it be an installation issue? I uploaded the entire zip file, (05.06.01) and unzipped it on the server via WebsitePanel, Arvixe's version of dotnetpanel. It appeared to work perfectly, and I saw no errors while the installation was going forward. So I'm kinda stumped.
Any ideas?
Thanks!!
Andria
PS: I almost forgot to add, the URL to my site, in case you need to see the issue, see if it does this for other people or just me -- and no, this is not spam, the site isn't even up yet, no content! It's at http://dnn.crypticsites.net --
Thx again!
