    Hi,

    We moved a fully functional 2.0.3 (we'll upgrade once we complete the move to production - first we wanted to get this version out) from Test to production today.

    We have a fully functional 2.0.3 up and running locally on a server; however, we just moved it out to the public production webserver and removed from portal alias localhost/virtualfoldername and replaced it with www.domainname.org

    We are able to get to the site (http://www.domainname.org) and the first page comes up, but no matter what tab navigation links you click on, nada - it takes you back to the same start page.

    Is there a setting we have wrong, is it a host thing, what ?

    Thanks in advance!

    Rolf,

    This is a know problem in 2.0.3.

    You can reset the cache in the HostSettings tab (at the button with the 'clear' button).

    Good luck!

    Geert -- you ROCK !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Awesome!!!!! Thank-you sooooo much!! And to the team overall.

    The non-profit that is getting dnn and my serices for free is going to be very grateful (and this is just another feather in the DNN community's hat that we can say we can get bugs or problems found and fixed FASTER than if it were not open source community based! Try getting an answer THAT FAST after hours from a commerical vendor!

    Geert, your answer totally fixed the problem! We will proceed with the release and then upgrade it to 2.1.2 over the next couple of days (after testing the upgrade on our test server).

    Woo-hoo, the non-profit gets to have a much much better tool to help them, than the static html they were using.

    Well over 200 hours has gone into getting this 200+ page site ready, so you can imagine our pain when we ran into this bug! Once again, you guys have outdone yourselves in service to the community - and it is awesome that anytime you can find KNOWLEDGEABLE folks online here in the forums answering questions!

    Here's the issue: I have a DNN 2.1.2 solution that works on the XPPro development system, but when deployed to a 2000 or 2003 server only displays the first page regardless of navigation, unless logged in as host, then the host menu works. The menus and tabs display, but any selection of a menu or tab only displays the opening page / tab (again unless is the selection of a host menu item). Any suggestions/hints would be appreciated. I'd like to eventually see the core updated for this functionallity.

    What works:
    On the Workstation, from the Workstation: The solution and the unaltered version of DNN 2.1.2
    On the Server, from the Workstation: The unaltered version of DNN 2.1.2

    Here's what I've tried:

    Resetting the cache in the host setting tab.

    Complete rebuild/copy of the solution (BTW: There are a few DLLs not in BIN, exceptionmanagement etc.)

    Here's what I did:

    I altered the core modules/db of DNN 2.1.5 to implement Logon Retries, specifically these files:

    ManageUsers.ascx, ManageUsers.ascx.resx, ManageUsers.vb (added a column to display LogonRetries)
    Register.ascx, Register.ascx.resx, Register.vb (added validators for complex passwords)
    Users.ascx, Users.ascx.resx, Users.vb (added a control to lock and unlock the account, account locking determined by Portal.MaxRetries vs LogonRetries)
    PortalsDB.vb (changed code to get/set MaxRetries)
    SiteSettings.ascx, SiteSettings.ascx.resx, SiteSettings.vb (added MaxRetries)
    Signin.ascx.vb (added a check of Portal.MaxRetries vs LogonRetries)

    Again the changes work fine on the development system.

    Have you tried clearing your browser cache and cookies?

    Thanks for helping..... Much appreciated.....

    I am accessing the portal from a PC which has not accessed the portal before...

    I have cleared the cache on the portal... via Host > Host Settings....

    I can logon OK but the tabs only work if I logon as Host and then only the Host Tab works....

    Any ideas?

    The PC is on another domain from the Web server - would this make any difference?

    the gordo
    Thanks

    I am experiencing the same problem, upgrading from 1.0.9 to 2.0.4 and works find on my development machine but the production machine will only display the host menu items and tab 1 , even though the URL shows that it is on a different tab.

    I have tried all the mention solutions but still does not work.

    I am guessing that the upgrade had a problem and something did not get updated correctly or a setting that changed that I missed since the database is being accessed and my test upgrade was with a copy of the database on a development sql server and a copy of the web site.

    I had the same problem. I solved it by making sure that all of the portal aliases in the host settings were separated with comas (I was just using newlines).

    Good luck!
