Hi,

I thought that it was just me but I can see from the posts that others are having the same problem as me.

DNN436 appears to install OK but when you try to browse to site you get the Cannot Find Server message???

Whats going on?   the only thing I noticed during the install is you get the message 'APP Offline please remove the app offline .htm from the root folder'....When you look for it it isn't there...

Any Clues Anyone?

Hi All,

This solution was posted by one of the DNN core team in another thread and it fixes the problem!!

In web.config you can add an application setting:

    <add key="UsePortNumber" value="True" />

There was a change in 4.3.6 to strip the port number by default when matching the PortalAlias. This was done to prevent development environment issues with the Cassini web server which generates port numbers dynamically ( resulting in constant support issues logged in Gemini and in these forums ). I believe we could improve this by checking the Request.IsLocal attribute as well ).

THANKYOU DNN !!

chemystery,

Thanks for reporting that this fix is working for you.
Can you please provide, from your web.config file, a copy of the "section" into which you have added this line?

So I guess, a copy-paste of 3 or 4 lines before this new application setting, and 3 or 4 lines after it, so that we can see where it best fits into the web.config file?

Thanks much !!!

Hi,

You can put the new app setting anywhere in here..

<appSettings>

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;" />

<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>

-->

<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />

<add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />

<add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />

<add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />

<add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />

<add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false" />

<add key="HostHeader" value="" />

<!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->

<add key="RemoveAngleBrackets" value="false" />

<!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->

<add key="InstallationDate" value="9/15/2006" />

</appSettings>

This was cut from a different config file but it's the same basically..

Regards

Malc
