When I'm logged in as the Administrator into a child portal, I click on "Add" page to bring up the "Page Management" page.  Then I click on the "Update" link at the bottom, but nothing happens.  At the bottom-left of the IE browser (status bar?), it says "Error on page".

However, if I'm logged in the "host" account, the "Update" link works.

Does anybody know what the problem is and how to fix it?

Seems like there is a javascript error somewhere on your page that prevents the execution of the postback script. Are you using any custom scripts in your skin ?

No I am not.  All the scripts in my DNN installation are from DNN 4.0.2

I have downloaded modules from the internet and uploaded them.  Would these modules have custom scripts that would disable some of the links for the Admin?

dawoe,

It seems like this problem exists elsewhere as well.  When I'm logged in as a registered user and try to add a new thread in the Forum by clicking on "Update", nothing happens except the message "Error on page" appears on the bottom bar of the browser window.

dawoe,

The Admin cannot update the Settings for other modules either, such as the settings for the Text/HTML or Forum modules.

When the mouse is over the "update" link on the settings for the Forum module, it says this at the bottom bar of the browser window:

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("dnn:ctr705:ModuleSettings

Unfortunately, this message is cut off by a right edge on the browser.

When the mouse is over the "update" link on the settings for the Text/HTML module, it says this at the bottom bar of the browser window:

javascript:WebForm_DoPostBackWithOptions(new WebForm_PostBackOptions("dnn:ctr663:ModuleSettings

Again, this message is cut off by a right edge on the browser.   

The "cancel" link works.  When the mouse is over the "cancel" or "delete" links, it says this:

javascript:__doPostBack('dnn$ctr705$ModuleSettings$cmdCancel',")

or

javascript:__doPostBack('dnn$ctr705$ModuleSettings$cmdDelete',")

Then when I go to another page, such as Home, the other page shows up but the Admin is kicked out (logged out automatically).

Does anybody have any suggestions?

It seems like a javascript error to me. Could you show me a link or e-mail the skin you are using for your portal ?

Yes, I can e-mail the Skin and link to you.  What is your e-mail address?

I sent you a PM with my e-mail.

Okay,

I checked the skin you e-mailed me. It works fine on my installation.
But i still think it is a javascript error.
My next guess is that it doesn't find the .NET-framework scripts.

Open a command prompt and navigate to this folder :
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v1.1.4322

Then run the command aspnet_regiis -i

Let me know if this helped you out.

I tried it on my local DNN installation (on my PC), but the problems still remains.

I'm not familiar with aspnet_regiis -i, but it seems to start ASP.NET.  If ASP.NET is not already started, then how could any of the DNN work?

My DNN is version 4.0.2.  Therefore, shouldn't I try your command for .Net Framework v2 instead of v1.1?  If so, what is the command for v2?

My DNN 4.0.2 installation is also on a hosted, shared server.  The server supposedly supports ASP, ASP.NET and ASP.NET 2.0.  Therefore, should I tell my hoster to run that command?  Should I tell my hoster to run that command for v1.1 or v2?

Hi BugInfested,

The command for ASP.NET 2.0 is the same but you have to start it from the 2.0 framework folder.
Is your DNN already running on your shared host ? Can you send me the link so i can check it out there ?

By the way this command doesn't start asp.net, it registers the .net js-scripts in your IIS-applications.

Dave,

I tried the “aspnet_regiis –i” command on the 2.0 Framework folder on my local PC, but the problems still remains for the DNN site on localhost.

I e-mailed the link to you for the shared server.

Should I tell my hosting company to execute that “aspnet_regiis –i” command as well on the shared server?

Hi buginfested,

Tried the link but i also get the errors. In Firefox i get logged out when i click on the update link.
I must admitted that i don't have any experience with ASP.NET 2.0 yet but when i had a similar problem in ASP.NET 1.1 the problem was that i couldn't execute the framework javascript that is used to postback a page. Maybe you should could contact your host and see if they can help you out. Or contact someone with more experience in the 2.0 framework.

dawoe,

This is very frustrating.  There seems to be bugs every step of the way with everything related to ASP.NET 2.0.

Anybody else:

Would anybody else have any suggestions?
