DotNetNuke Underconstruction.htm

Sunday, July 29, 2007 (Updated 1/23/2008)

If you're having problems with your DotNetNuke site, mainly every time the site loads the first time (after the site has been reset), going to the install/underconstruction.htm file, here's a quick tip.

Check the VERSIONS table in your database, we were having an issue with this on a recent test site and when I checked the versions table it was completely empty.

I corrected the problem by adding a Version entry for 4.5.3, which is the DNN version that this particular site was running.

Another thing to check if you're seeing this page is the Connection string to your database. Try going to website/install/install.aspx and if there is a connection string error it will likely be displayed there.

Thank you both. My trouble ended up being the connection string.
