Hello,

I'm trying to configure mobile detection and redirection with a DNN CE 06.02.02 (125) host, and have some troubles: detection seems to be properly configured, but redirection never happens if I visit my site with a mobile device.

I downloaded the 51Degrees database, and enabled it in 51Degrees.mobi.config:

<detection binaryFilePath="~/App_Data/51Degrees.mobi-Lite-2012.07.31.dat"/>

I also enabled logging, and see the database is initiated:

I then tried configuring a redirection rule, but if I check first option ("Create a mobile website redirection") I get an error:

Method: DotNetNuke.Modules.MobileManagement.SimpleSettingsView.OnLoad

StackTrace:

Message: DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. ---> System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at DotNetNuke.Modules.MobileManagement.SimpleSettingsView.OnLoad(EventArgs e) at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Control.LoadRecursive() at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---


I then tried configuring an advanced rule both with the admin tool (choosing second option, "Create a redirection using advanced options") and directly modifying 51Degrees.mobi.config, but I still cannot see redirection working.

Can anybody help me fixing this?

Thanks for any help,

al.

More on this: I just made the same steps on a 6.1.5 host, and all is working perfectly.

I see both 51degrees library and MobileManagement module were updated, is nobody else having issues with 6.2.2?  Cannot find a ticket at support.dotnetnuke.com either.

Hello,
I found out the error was caused by a missing value in site settings (the homepage tabid was not saved and this caused the exception in MobileManagement.SimpleSettingsView.OnLoad).

But still redirections are not applied on this 6.2.2 host...  no errors in eventlog, the only thing I notice is in 51degrees log I never see "OK".

Any ideas about where to check?

Here I am again: looks like I can only let it work if I specify a Page within this site as the target.

If I configure to redirect all site traffic to the mobile site (a parent portal on same host)  I get no redirections, while if I configure redirection from "Page within this site" , or even from Site, to a single Page within this site it will go.

Site aliases are ok, and both the mobile and std site can be resolved and navigated if you go directly to the url.

Can anybody help understanding the problem?
