Hey,

I'm not sure why/how ImageGen could ever make this happen.

However if you're sure it's the reason then when you 'delete other resources' you will also have to remove references to 'ImageGen' in the web.config file.

Hi,

I did this. I found 4 entries and deleted them. I guess there still is a web.config problem?

What error are you getting, I'm not sure what you mean that the site is unreachable?

I copied the web.config to xmlSpy to investigate. It is valid. But I'm not sure all about, since I installed the package? It is also curious that I can't login anymore to the backend? It seems not so stable??

Hi,

It's not that it's not stable, something is broken, as the site is not working the front and back end will not be accessable. 

I think you have a Web.Config or permissions error.

I guess I need to talk to the hoster?

Ok. I installed the package manually again -> description -> http://blog.percipientstudios.com/2012/2/1/how-to-imagegen-25-with-umbraco-5.aspx

Now it is like before. I wrote an email to my host provider. I will see if they got something with chmod or permissions. The backend of them is not so comfortable.

Personally I would ftp the site down to your local machine and try to get it working there, debugging on a shared host is going to be a nightmare.

Set up a clean Umbraco 6 project locally and then do some file comparisions.

Rich

You could set up a clean Umbraco 6 install and point the connection string to your current (not working) db, this should give you some clues.

Our replies crossed, glad you got it sorted.

I also had this before and its where the install puts a duplicate entry in the web.config so download the web.config and check for this if it happens. Cant rememeber the section though - maybe one of the handlers.

Hi,

Yes, this would be a way. I'm really new to it and worked with other cms before. What keeps me wonder is how I should develop my site. It is recommended to use a CE database. Should I work locally with that one? If I wanted to save the remote site locally it seems like that something doesn't work with downloading. Some database failure came up.

I guess it is better to have a database dump and with ftp a filesystem backup?

regards

entries crossing....

I also installed ImageGen first ofcourse on local and the backend and frontend crashed , but I had a backup so copiied and old config file back and now it works again.

I also just had this issue ( I could not find the imagen.ashx file and figured I would justy run the uninstaller from the Developer section and reinstall) the webconfig had duplicate entires for the imagen location - I reduced each to just the single entry and it was working fine - and the imagen ashx file was where it usually is too. Thanks above for poiting out this possibility as I had tried hand reinstalling and permissions prior to seeing this thread.

is working on a reply...
