OK, I have searched the forums and could not find any help so I amposting it here.

I have tried to upload a couple of differnet modules to DNN2 and they will not upload, it goes through the whole process but it never gets uploaded for some reason. I do not get any errors or anything...

So, my questions is: What am I doing wrong, or what do I do to correct it? Obviously my DB connection is working ( using MSSql ) because I would not be able to log in, correct?

ANy suggestions???

Thanks.. oh, this is my first shot at asp.net stuff, I have just gotten a little used to asp but through a friend who is also switching to .net I am looking forward to using DNN and once I get used to it, will be looking to move on to DNN3..

Thanks to everyone and great stuff everyone has here..

Can someone tell me what is going on?? I have not the faintest..

Thanks for any help

It's just a guess, but have you selected the Custom Module option before you select the module to upload?

Another issue you may be having is that some module packages may have additional Zip files inside them, which could be causing an error.

Hope this Helps,

Yes I selected the Custom Module option and not there are no zip files in the file.. But thanks.. I did post an error from my log file, when it is posted you might have more suggestions for me I am sure..


Thanks again

Alright, lets take this one step at a time.

First of all, when you upload the module do you see the Module upload installation log appear in the browser (straight after upload).

If you do, check that there are no errors in the log.

No Errors, go to the Host > Module Definitions page and look for the module you just uploaded.

Exists, check the drop down list containing the modules you can add to a pane.

If this all has worked, add the module to a tab.

Let me know if it breaks down.

Hope this helps,

To answer your first question:

When I upload the miodule, no, I do not see anything except the status bar on the IE explorer move and then that is it...

I can then go to the Module Definitions and there is a BIG error message which appears there. Here is the error message:

Error loading module

I sure hope you can make something of all this because I sure can't.. :)

Thanks for your time and help...

Hmm. Sounds like your installation could be damaged.

After you select the Add File, and click the Upload link, you should see a log of the module installation where errors show up as red.

Try creating a new installation of DNN and uploading the module to it. If you don't see the log, then you may have something wrong with your servers setup.

Another option is to try uploading a different module.

Hope this Helps

See second post in this thread.. that is the error log that was red...

As for the setup, well.. I think I have it correct. I am running windows XP Pro, SQL Server 2000. I thought I had it all setup correctly, I had someone who has the sql server 200 help me set it up and I even checked our sql server at work to see it's settings. From the looks of it it is setup right, but since I am runnign xp pro and the sql server together on the same computer.

If you have any pointers on this let me know please...

Thanks

if you are loading a module it is read as stream and written in the protal directory. my guess would be permissions on the directory. in xp you have to give aspnet user full control to directory. i would check permissions first.
