Help??
Couple of weird things started happening on my site. I've installed several modules from various sources over the last four months and haven't had any problem. But I did have some problems with a couple of modules though I'm not sure if they were the problem. At any rate, I started having problems with my DNN site when one day...the site just decided to delete my DeskTopModules directory. I have no idea why! It just did. Database was fine and after installing the modules all over again - the content came up as it should have.
The only problem was that there were a couple modules on various pages that were showing up on the page and throwing load errors. They were completely empty (just like module shells) and I wasn't able to delete them. I deleted the entire tab they were on, however, and that seemed to resolve it. But then the other day I was adding a new tab to my site and all of the sudden one of these "stray" empty modules just popped up on the page and threw a load error. I have no idea how it got there. So I deleted the tab BUT I can't delete the tab from the recycle bin.
Now just today I purchased a module and put it up on a tab. All seems to work fine until on a page refresh I get the following error:
A critical error has occurred.
The viewstate is invalid for this page and might be corrupted.
My hunch is that I need to manually go into the database and do something. But I have no SQL experience really and am not sure how to begin or what to look for. Can anyone point me in the right direction? I've put a lot of work into this site but it's becoming painfully obvious that it's on it's way to crashing... Thanks very much for any help.
