Hi There

Make sure that your permissions have been setup correctly according to this piece of documentation http://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/permissions

Also try and see if some more information about the issue is revaled in the trace log in /app_data/logs - Does it contain any entries marked with "ERROR" ?

/Jan

...What Umbraco version is it btw?

/Jan

The permissions are not the problem.

The version is 6.1.6

I do see errors in that log that are probably the cause. Don't really know what to do about them thou :-D

Ok, then try doing the following

1: Go to /app_data/TEMP/ and delete all folders from there 2: Recycle the app pool

Do you still have the weird issue in the member section? And do you still see the above errors?

/Jan

Sadly, it didn't fix the problem.

Could you be missing a framework or an framework update perhaps? From one of the error entries above it says "System.ArgumentException: Unable to find the requested .Net Framework Data Provider. It may not be installed."

I find that the easiest way of making sure the all the required dependencies for ensuring Umbraco runs smoothly is by making an installation of Umbraco using Webmatrix, since it makes sure all dependencies are installed before it tries to install Umbraco. I don't use the installed Umbraco version for anything and just remove it afterwards.

Hope this helps.

/Jan

The thing is, it is an inherited project (from another company), we have no idea what was done to it before :-)

I will try your suggestion.

K

I understand that - just trying to provide some pointers and ruling out some of the usual suspects.

But could you tell a bit more about the project? Do you have access for it locally? Or does it live on a server you need to log onto? What is the setup in other words?

/Jan

Yes, I have a dev version a staging version and a live version.

Only the live version (with SSL - https) has the problem.

Regards?.

Hi K

Just a thought...is there any chance that you could try installing a clean Umbraco 6.1.6 version on the server as well to see if the problem also occurs on that installation?

Just to figure out wether or not it's a general problem with Umbraco on that server or if it's specifically with the current site running.

/Jan

Hey.

I found the culprit.

In the members section the aspx pages have css and javascript references using the "DependencyHandler.axd".

But the webserver seems to be looking for the DependencyHander in foder /umbraco/members/

If I add <base href="https://www.thedomainname.com/umbraco/" /> to the master page then the pages are rendered almost correctly (the save buttons images are not showing, but at least saving is now working).

Anyone who knows how so configure my project so that it finds the DependencyHandler correctly?

Thank you.
K.

is working on a reply...
