John, thanks so much for replying. This is by far one of my best customers and this is getting frustrating. As you can see from the thread.

But I cannot login to see the Event / Log. So where can I see this.

I logged into my dedi server and looked for a table in the db and did not see one.

I went to my Application Log and looked to see if I could generate an error there by trying to login, but could not. So here is what comes out of the server log. I feel like this is related since it requests the Yellow-Warning GIF that shows up beside the Module Load Warning text. What else can I try?

I finally remembered Sebastian suggesting to remove your customizations by deleting files /App_GlobalResources/GlobalResources.<portalID>.resx whre portalID is the id of the portal. Even though my client says that he has not touched anything on the site, I tried that anyway. Well shucks. It worked. So my problem is solved for now.

But there has to be a bigger issue if making a minor change to the Terms or Privacy settings causes this to happen.

Thanks again.

Cliff,

glad you solved it for the moment. have you been able to save the offending resource files, so I might have a look at it (sebastian.leupold {at} dotnetnuke.com)?

We have solved the issue with not being able to log in for botht he errors mentioned in this thread.

In the Authentication table all of the rows had IsEnabled set to false, changing the row for DNN to True (or 1) meant we could log in again.

At this stage we are not sure what has caused all of the rows to be set to false, last week the sites were working, and progressively less were working over the weekend until we could not log into any of them.

Suggestion: In the Host Settings page where you can enable and diable the authenication types available for the site, I suggest you should not be abe to unselect all of the options, perhaps some ajax or validation code on saving the page to check at least one is selected. Although this wouldn't have helped us, it does seem a flaw in the system.

Have an awesome day

Steve
