Thanks, changing it in the db table worked, now I have the ribbonbar but still can't access the host settings.. everything else seems to be fine

Error: Host Settings is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string. ---> System.FormatException: Invalid length for a Base-64 char array or string. at System.Convert.FromBase64_Decode(Char* startInputPtr, Int32 inputLength, Byte* startDestPtr, Int32 destLength) at System.Convert.FromBase64CharPtr(Char* inputPtr, Int32 inputLength) at System.Convert.FromBase64String(String s) at DotNetNuke.Security.FIPSCompliant.DecryptAES(String encryptedText, String passPhrase, String salt, Int32 iterations) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.BindSmtpServer() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.BindData() at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Host.HostSettings.OnLoad(EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I posted this on your other thread already (http://www.dnnsoftware.com/forums/for... - please don't open multiple threads for the same problem) - but in short 7.2.0 reads your smtp password and then encrypts it. As your install failed that's not done, but the system is failing as it tries to decrypt a plaintext password. You can go into the hostsettings table and look for the "SMTPPassword" value and clear it out -the decryption method knows to ignore empty strings. You will then be able to access this page and re-enter your smtp password

That did the trick, thank you Cathal!!!

Sorry about the multiple posts.. I was in desperate mode and the dnn forum was also giving me some errors when trying to post.
