Hi,

After upgrading to 2.2.7.9 I get the following error when I try to log in on my server hosted instance (running in medium trust). This upgrade works fine when I run locally on my laptop. The asp forums indicate that this is a CAS problem relating to access to the key store, but the RSA key should be coming from the web.config. Thanks.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately this isn't the problem. I re-synced all of the files in the root folder and performed a directory compare (in Filezilla). Could it be related to this article?

Thanks - Jon.

Hi Joe,

I have just performed a full re-sync and I still see the same error. I will keep plugging away at this tomorrow at it's getting later in the UK.

Thanks for your help so far. Any other pointers welcomed.

Cheers - Jon.

I am struggling to determine if file permissions are the issue (the RSA key exists in the file). My host provider assures me that the IIS user should have full read/write permissions but I don't have a lot of faith in them (from previous experience).

I am going to go for a clean install of 2.2.7.9 as I want to retire a number of child portals. Hopefully this will resolve the problem (without actually determining the issue)

I have another (hopefully minor) issue with my new, local install - I will post a seperate entry for this.

Thanks again, appreciated - Jon.

FYI -

I created the admin account on my "local" installation before I uploaded it to my hosting provider.  It was working fine there.   

I'll try the web config work around.  I'm not too worried about the site content at this particular time...

I'll let you know what happens...
