Move from Win13 to Win15 - The issue continue...

As per the previous dicussions on Win13 problems, our account was moved to Win15.

Now we are having issues with parts of some of our sites on the new server:
http://www.fishingnet.ca/DesktopDefault.aspx?tabid=22

ERROR: Could not locate file: D:\hshome\schooner\fishingnet.ca\bin\AspNetForums.dll or could not locate class AspNetForums.Data.SqlDataProvider in file.Exception Source:Access is denied: ‘AspNetForums.dll’.

Any DNN2 site with a forum module now has issues on the forum page. All 4 sites have the exact same issue and all are seperate installs so I cannot see this being a file corruption issue. It appears to be some permission or setting that is different between Win13 and Win15.

We have spent the last 4 hours sending emails on a ticket and on live chat with no results. Multiple times now we have been told that our sites are fine and working when they clearly still have the same error. It seems that support does not understand the issue even when sent the direct link about that clearly shows an error.

As is stands now we have sites that are not fully functional and it seems no means to correct it or go back X(

Any help would be appreciated.

All I had to do was rename the DLL file to AspNetForums.dll, it did not have the proper case in the name.

What are the other domains? Do you have a ticket listing them? I am off today but saw your post :slight_smile:

I think I found and fixed them all for you, if you still have the error on any please let us know.

THANKS A MILLION STEPHEN!!!

I had no clue as to wah tthe issue was, never thought of that. The copy process must have renamed the files between the servers.

I can fix any in error myself if that is the issue.

Thanks again and sorry for my frustration.

No problem, I tried this pretty quickly because I had seen this one time before on a DNN install all case state was lost, and it was not loading the files in /bin, so i renamed them all one by one.

One thing to check is the adverforums.dll, I am not sure what this controls in DNN2, but it may need to be renamed as well.

Odd thing is, it was not across the board, as only DNN2 sites lost the case information, all the others you have copied perfectly.

Thanks too to all on support that were trying to help. An odd issue for sure. I jsut assumed the copy from the old server would have maintained things as is, although file case is not somethind I’d expect to cause an issue on a Windows server.

Sorry again for hte frustrarion.

FYI - So far Win15 seems much faster than Win13 for all our sites. This seems to be the only issue we had, with the dll file case.

when win16 launched, all asp.net 2 was broken for a few hours, because in the web.config I put Mediumtrust.config when the filename was mediumtrust.config, that was my first encounter with asp.net being case sensitive. And I have been doing this for many years now, maybe I was just lucky and never had case be an issue in the past.

I’ve never had a case issue with asp.net before either. I wonder if it is related to a new service pack or something? It is odd for sure.
