DNN4 to DNN 481 The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Data.DataProvider' threw an exception 

I was very pleased for a momanet there when I finally won my battle with errors over installing DNN441 but then something hit me and I decided to go further to upgrade into 481, did everything as usually with web config and all then went to my site http://kotenok-gaf.ru/Install/Install.aspx

AND SURE  it was an error.... IF ANYONE KNOWS WHAT THE*** THIS MEANS you are so welcomed to comment

Hi Julia,

 

Did you find a solution to your problem.  I have just upgraded from 4.5.1 to 4.5.3 the install went OK but when I try to use my custom module its Dataprovider throws the Type Initializer exception.  I have been through the config file twice and checked that all the dll's are compiling.

Linda

Re: DNN4 to DNN 481 The type initializer for 'DotNetNuke.Data.DataProvider' threw an exception 

I just fixed my problem with a change to the config file:

<trust level="Full" originUrl=".*" />

It was originally set to medium so I am slightly concerned about the consequences but after a day of pulling my hair out I am going to stick with it.

Hope this can help you too Julia.
