Hello all,

I'm starting work for a new client who is running the free community edition of DNN. Before our first meeting, their site developed the following error:

The transaction log for database 'NMCommunityFaithLinks' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

I searched the forums for this error, and determined I could fix it by inputting the following code into DNN's MySQL interface:

BACKUP LOG NMCommunityFaithLinks WITH TRUNCATE_ONLY
TRUNCATE TABLE eventlog
TRUNCATE TABLE sitelog
DBCC SHRINKDATABASE (NMCommunityFaithLinks);

Do I need ' around my db name?

More importantly, however, how do I access this MySQL interface?

I assume I have to log in, but when I try to access the login page via the ctl/login or /Login.aspx paths, I get the transaction log full error. I'm sure the solution to this is obvious, but this is my first time using DNN.

Once I've accessed the MySQL file, where should I put my code?

I've also learned in the forums that I can solve this problem in the future by setting the recovery model to simple.

 Thank you in advance for any help you can provide.

By default, DNN uses MS SQL, are you sure, your client is running MySQL (there is a free provider on codeplex, but it is not very common to use). Besides, the error message sounds definately like MS SQL error, please contact the hosting partner of your client, how to access the web site, there should be either a web interface or a remote access to the database via SQL Server Management Studio. this would be used to perform a full backup of the site, which also truncates the database. Please make sure, the backup job gets executed frequently in the future to avoid additional problems.

I do have the same message on a MSSQL 2008 R2 server. Fresh install of DNN 6.1.5 and after a day the transaction log file (initial size 20 MB) is full. My hosting provider has no idea what and why this is happening. Complete message in de log file:

Procedure: AddEventLog
Message: System.Data.SqlClient.SqlException: The transaction log for database 'wijnand6x' is full. To find out why space in the log cannot be reused, see the log_reuse_wait_desc column in sys.databases

Does anyone has any idea where this problem is comping from? Thanks in advance

what is the size of the transaction log, what is the recovery model, you are using for your database?

I do not have enough privileges to see that but teh following information is told me:
- transaction log of 20 MB

I can execute the following statement:
sp_spaceused
database_name database_size unallocated space
wijnand6x 11.26 MB 0.63 MB

reserved data index_size unused
------------------ ------------------ ------------------ ------------------
9472 KB 5088 KB 3656 KB 728 KB

Are there more statements I can execute to get more information about the transactionlog?
Thanks for the quick repley
