Site worked fine on dev, and won't work on live

Installing umbraco

HI all,

I've very much liked working with umbraco and finally got the site looking how I needed it to on the dev server. I went to change it over on to the live server and I get this error.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.1873; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.1433

I was running this as a .NET 2.0 application on the dev server with no issues and I have verified that .NET AJAX extensions are installed on the live server. Is this just a matter of having a wrong web.config file or am I in trouble here?

I have looked for a web.config file that will work with .NET 2.0 and haven't found any different ones. I am not a developer or SA unfortunately, more of a designer forced into getting this done so I have some understanding of IIS but not a ton. Any help would be seriously appreciated.

Which version of Umbraco are you using?

Looks like you have dependencies on the 3.5 framework in your web.config, but I don't recall those being part of the default settings for 4.0.x versions?

The 3.5 framework is an extension to the 2.0 runtime, so even though your dev server site runs in 2.0 mode, it might still use 3.5 assemblies.

I have a config file that has these entries around the place you mention:

    <compilation defaultLanguage="c#" debug="true" batch="false">
      <assemblies>
        <!-- ASPNETAJAX -->
        <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
        <add assembly="System.Design, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B03F5F7F11D50A3A" />
        <add assembly="System.Web.Extensions.Design, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" />
      </assemblies>
    </compilation>

But you might need to make more changes if the entire web.config is set up for 3.5 framework.

Odd,

I still get this message:

I was using the web.config straight out of the box from the latest version of umbraco at the time 4.0.2 and had only made changes to the database connection and smtp server areas.

Hi Morten,

Thanks for the help first off.

I originally thought it was maybe some downloaded add-ons that were making reference to these 3.5 assemblies but I tried a clean install of 4.0.3 and same deal.

Hmmm,

The error is now different. I removed all references to .NET 3.5 assemblies and I now get the following error:

The complete web.config from 4.0.3 looks like this (below).

I don't see any references to 3.5 assemblies in there. Could you try using this config, and just inserting your own connection string?

Have you done any other changes to your own web.config file?

Hi Morten,

This was a great help. I don't know how I ended up with a bad web.config but I did. This makes Umbraco run on the server, but even though I copied all the files over from the dev server, it is making me install umbraco again when I navigate to the URL. Is this normal?

Will all of my content and custom templates and such be there when I get there? I've already restored the server backup to the new location.

Actually, it appears most of it did transfer over...but I can't log into Umbraco! None of my users transfered over so I'm a bit stuck. Also, some style sheets appear to have gotten lost in the shuffle as well but I can fix that if I can gain access to the back end. Any ideas?

You might want to change the passwordFormat by removing these properties:

passwordFormat="Hashed"

It's possible that your users were made when password hashing was not on by default.

Thank you both for the response.

@Sebastiaan - You saved my life. That is the issue and I can log in without issue.

@Morten - I did figure that out eventually but thank you for all the help throughout the process. As soon as the SA gets directoryURLs set up for me, the site will be fully functional and operational!

Thanks again everyone
