You receive the generic error message:



First step is to figure out what caused the error. To do that, open web.config file, and modify this line:



change it to:



then upload it, run your site and see what error you are getting.

If you still don't know how to solve the problem, please make a topic and post the entire exception error message so that one of the knowledgeable people can assist.

Please remember to ALWAYS be respectful when asking for help. Frustration and attitude with lots of !!!!!!! and UPPERCASE words does not make people want to put their free time into assisting you.

I have run into this problem also. Seems that previously registered users on the DNN site get this error when they login to DNN and then try to access a registered only forum. I uploaded over 1,000 users on a migration to DNN, uploaded the information to the yaf_User table and have had this problem with some, but not all of the users. When this happens, go into the yaf_User table and delete the entry under the username with the error. The next time the user logs in, a new entry is made for that user in the yaf_User table and things seem to work smoothly.

This may not be the best solution but it has worked for me.

Didi anybody answer this for you, I missed it ?

I am just experimenting with things at godaddy and they said it might have somthing to do with thier free hosting acct being thers a banner at the top of every page.
I agreed to come here and learn.

I too dont see a default or web.config file with "smartnavigation" in it.
I saw a dnn.config but couldnt find the settings change.

Since I am not knowledgable, I figure I am gonna need a few walk throughs.
Is there already posts about the crutial first steps specific to godaddy and thier free host accts ?

brb.

NO confusing me....



At godaddy, we just pick from a list of apps and the server installs it.
I dont have access to any real files for this fun.
Thats why I ended up here., sorry , but I do appreciate your posting, and I know you are dumbing it down for me.
As long as your are "dumbing it" down, would you mind using complete setences !
AFter all, compared to you I am merely a three year old... lol


Your close, I just need alittle more clarification on what your trying to say.

the dnn.config IS the right config file TRUE !
if it is, I didnt see any such smartnavigation setting entry in it.
are you saying rename the dnn to web ?

ok i really feel dumb now as I finally found the PAGE TWO button on godaddy and surely see the files in question.


thanks for your help.
