One of our client has a DNN Site. There was some issue happened in the server and the drive that host the site is crashed. Luckily the database was in other drive. So we have database of the site. I have a back up of the site in my local system too. Now I need to restore the site. So My question is what steps should I perform exactly?
Below are some twists that I came to know recently:
There were other sites too and they were in different DNN version. Can we know from database which version of DNN was the sites running?
I tried to put my files on server and provide connection string of database. When I start the site, it complete the installation process, but shows me default DNN Page. Please see attached image for the same.
When I checked the Log file, it is throwing below error
Unhandled error loading module. ---> System.Web.HttpException: The
file '/Portals/_default/Containers/Xcillion/NoTitle.ascx' does not
exist
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions -
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Unhandled error
loading module. ---> System.Web.HttpException: The file

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.Exceptions -
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Unhandled Error
Adding Module to ContentPane ---> System.NullReferenceException:
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
Then I thought the site may use the inbuilt database (I am not remembering exactly what kind of database I set up). So I copied the site code in separate folder and tried to map this folder with IIS. And that is giving me below error:
DotNetNuke.Common.Initialize - The connection to the database has failed, however, the application is already completely installed, a 500 error page will be shown to visitors"
Can anyone tell me how can I recover this site?
Thanks in Advance.
Ouch!
Having the database (or databases) is a good start.
Look in the Versions table and the last row is the last DNN Version installed. Look in the Portals table to see which portals were created in that install.
The errors that refer to Containers refer to files that are missing from the site's file system. Your IIS configuration for the site points to the root of the file system.
The module load exception probably refers to a module's files that should be in /DesktopFiles/ModuleName.
So, if you have the database AND you have a copy of the files that correspond to the database, then put them all back, make sure that the connection strings are pointed correctly in web.config ... and cross your fingers.
If you have the DNN version and the correct database, you might try doing a clean install of the DNN, install the modules that you had installed on the one that crashed, and THEN swap the clean version's database with the one that you have -- actually a copy.
Make sure that you are keeping copies, and you may be able to reconstruct lots of things.
And, it goes without saying that you should take a blood oath about making good and regular backups, and storing them on a different disk.

I am trying to install matomo by following the instructions in the website. But no luck, i keep on getting errors. I am using xampp to host the matomo.
First, I downloaded matomo, extracted it inside htdocs folder of my xampp. Then I go to localhost/matomo. It shows the installation welcome page. I click on Next and after a while got error "No database selected"
I researched and i read something that I need to create a config.ini.php and specify the database. And so I created a database in phpmyadmin called "matomo", then created a config.ini.php file. Then when I go to localhost/matomo, i get an error saying that matomo is already installed and that "matomo.option" doesn't exist.
Why is the matomo installation have to be this difficult? Has someone successfully did it? If you'll down vote, at least please let me know why so i can provide more information.
Ok, so after researching further, it seems after clicking Next, Matomo is already doing a system check which takes too long to complete. So the solution is to increase the max_execution_time found in xampp/php/php.ini to 90.
This will give matomo enough time to complete its process. I hope others will find this useful.
We have a project running Umbraco 7.5.9
We have suddenly started to get the following errors when loading Umbraco and opening various document types
Failed to load template: views/components/umb-folder-grid.html?umb__rnd=7.5.9.884162080
The errors come from /umbraco/lib/angular/1.1.5/angular.min.js
Is this a server setting that is causing this? The error has suddenly started appearing in several applications
Thanks
Check your project path whether Umbraco\Views\components\umb-folder-grid.html files exist?
It seems like you are missing that file - maybe accident delete it or did not include it when publish
Check your dev tools network tab and look for the call for the umb-folder-grid.html file.
It should come with a 200 response, but in your instance it may be 404ing.
I found that this file is requested when I go to the Media section of Umbraco.
If the file is 404ing, open up the location of the file in a separate tab and see if anything is being returned. If there is nothing there, check that your server does have the file on it.
My Project is using IBM ClearCase as version control tool. I recently checked in some of the files, modified them and even checked out the modified files.
Next day when I try to check in some of the files, I am getting the following error :
the property is not available locally: stream
and
the property is not available locally: current-activity
Is there any way to resolve this error? I am stuck
I recently checked in some of the files, modified them and even checked out the modified files.
You actually checked out files, then modify them, then check them in.
You check out in order to make a file modifiable.
the property is not available locally: current-activity
The exact error message is actually:
The requested property 'current-activity' is not available
See this IBM technote:
Cause
The information within the .Rational folder had become stale or corrupted.
ClearQuest database connections require refreshing as they are no longer seen.
View tag (as stored in the registry server) is no longer visible on the Change Management (CM) Server when performing an Cleartool lsview.
This issue can also occur if the region used does not hold the right VOBs any longer. While trying to create new Views or change load rules the VOBs are missing. This happened due to a changed region map file.
So it depends on your OS, version of ClearCase, integration or not with clearquest.
I am getting strange error (see below) when I am trying to add/checkout/checkin a file/folder. I never used to get this error before. The only change is that this is the new UCM Project. Has anyone seen this error?
How would you troubleshoot that error message.
Here is the text version (for facilitating future text search)
CRMAP7018: Unable to create M:\user1_dev_cm_training_view\training\new_folder
CRMAP7026: unknown error.
reason: write-failed
resource: null
I have seen a similar error message when the CLEARCASE_PRIMARY_GROUP environment variable isn't properly set.
It should reference the primary group of the vob you are trying to access.
(in CTE - ClearTeam Explorer, Window -> Preferences -> IBM Rational ClearTeam Explorer -> Groups)
In your case, this is ClearTeam 8.0.0.6, the new name for CCRC, which supports dynamic views, and in an heterogeneous environment (Windows client, Unix server)
The first thing to check are the logs:
client logs for CTE
server logs for ClearCase server
System Event Viewer logs on the client side.
If nothing obvious seems to show up:
check if there is a process keeping an handle on M:\user1_dev_cm_training_view\training
(one way is simply to reboot and check if the issue persists)
check if the issue persists with another new dynamic view (and then with another account on another machine)
Check if a latest patch might resolve the issue (like a 8.0.0.7)
I don't see any mention of CRMAP7018 or CRMAP7026 on ibm.com.
I'm trying to fix a broken SSP on a MOSS 2007 site. The problem I am running into manifests itself as follows...
In the SSP "Search Settings" page I get this message:
The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether the service is enabled. This might also be because an indexer move is in progress.
In the SSP "User Profiles and Properties" page I get this in red at the top:
An error has occurred while accessing the SQL Server database or the Office SharePoint Server Search service. If this is the first time you have seen this message, try again later. If this problem persists, contact your administrator.
I have contacted my administrator, but that is currently me and it turns out I don't know any more than I do about the problem.
In the Event Log I get the following message:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.IndexingScheduleJobDefinition (ID 8714973c-0514-4e1a-be01-e1fe8bc01a18) threw an exception. More information is included below.
Search application '{0}' is not ready.
The Event ID is 6398, which isn't as useful as I had hoped, but I don find the message interesting in that it looks like a String.format call where the substituted value is missing. Unfortunately no interesting in that it tells me how to fix the problem.
Sharepoint's own log offers this:
UserProfileConfigManager.GetImportStatus() failed to obtain crawl status: System.InvalidOperationException: Search application '{0}' is not ready.
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchApi..ctor(WellKnownSearchCatalogs catalog, SearchSharedApplication application)
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SearchSharedApplication.get_SearchApi()
at Microsoft.Office.Server.UserProfiles.UserProfileConfigManager.c__DisplayClass3.b__0()
at Microsoft.Office.Server.Diagnostics.FirstChanceHandler.ExceptionFilter(Boolean fRethrowException, TryBlock tryBlock, FilterBlock filter, CatchBlock catchBlock, FinallyBlock finallyBlock)
I have tried stopping and starting the search service, removing and re-adding it from the administration panel, and pretty much every other thing I could find to do with Sharepoint's own administrative tools, which leads me to believe the problem here may be database or permissions related.
There was a second SSP set up on the same server, which I think may have been part of the original cause of the problem, but removing it has made no difference.
Maybe you can make sense of this - I'm new to sharepoint, so it makes little sense to me:
"Service Shared, after looking for the solution much encontre this forum where a person tapeworm the same problem. After reading a infinity of commentaries, which I made to solve the problem was to create a new shared service, later it assigns the other applications to him and later I put it like predetermined, it initiates the import of profiles, and later the hearings, clearly first I did it in a site of tests just in case something happened, later eliminates the First Shared Service and finally the error I am solved. The snapshot of the Registry of the configuration of the application in the data base has been stored correctly. Context: application `SharedServices2 ′"
You didn't mention anything about tapeworms, so maybe you're running a newer version.

Personally, I'd try the msdn forums.
So it seems that the problem was a corrupted Shared Service Provider ( no idea how it came about, but there you go ) and the only working solution I could find was to delete it and start again.
I suspect there may have been a more elegant fix by changing something in the database somewhere, but I don't know the Sharepoint Database model well enough to find it in the time available.
As an additional warning to this, if you do delete your SSP you may find that it doesn't delete cleanly so that you get a bunch of SQL server tasks that still try to run on an empty database, which can cause problems if you have anything else running on the same database server.
Same problem. My DBA delete correctly the search database and it still doesn't work.
I'll post the solution on my blog when I found something.
For the moment, we open a MS call.
Created a new SSP
2- In central admin, click on shared Services Administration
3- Click on "Change Associations" and move all the web apps to the new SSP
Choose a new search_DB and select the good server that will index if you are in a farm
