It's probably me but my upgrade to 2.3.1.5 failed to load a site after the upgrade (upgrade script appeared to run fine). Then I tried a fresh install and am having the same problem. It installs fine but will not load the start page....have tried a lot of different things here. This is the error I get each time (again, clean install even). My upgrade is version is also hosed, so hopefully afix to one will fix the other.

MSSQL 2005. It's probably something small I'm not thinking of... I'll try downloading again as well.

Check the properties on any of the files in your site (right-click, properties). At the bottom of the properties window, do you see an Unblock button? If so, you need to download Streams from SysInternals (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb897440.aspx). There are instructions on how to use Streams and why the files are blocked and causing your problems. I think you'll run "streams -r -d <path to your website files>".

Basically, the file system is blocking the file from being executed because it doesn't trust it for one reason or another. I encounter this quite a bit and it causes all sorts of weird problems.

Hi Eric,

The problem is it requires .NET 3.5 SP1, your server seems to not have the SP1.

In this release I fixed an issue where pages using UpdatePanels in folder based child sites were posting back incorrectly because the form action was changing after the first ajax postback. I fixed this by adding code to ensure the correct form action like this:

Page.Form.Action = Request.RawUrl;

but this method is new as of  3.5 SP1, it was not previously possible to do this.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Just to add a note: It would be really helpful if there were more detailed release notes regarding each release. Maybe you didn't realize .NET 3.5 SP1 was required, but as you find out these items could ideally be listed with the release notes to give people a heads up. I spent a LOT of hours trying to figure out why this one server simple would not upgrade.

As with everything time is limited I can imagine, just some feedback. Love the new features though, good stuff!!

Thanks Joe for setting this one straight.

Eric, What I was referring to has to do with alternate data streams in NTFS. Occasionally, NTFS will block a file that has been downloaded using Internet Explorer (or unzipped using Windows Explorer...sometimes) because IE or Windows will automatically attach a Zone.Identifier=3 stream to the file. This Zone.Identifier tells NTFS that it doesn't know where the file came from. This is supposed to be one of those last ditch effort security features that usually just causes admins a bunch of heart-ache. I have seen it save a couple people from using/running very dangerous stuff on their computers.

You probably will not run into this issue if you are copying your files to your server via FTP because the FTP protocol doesn't recognize Streams and thus removes them. I have this issue on occassion but I not as much since I quit using the built-in Windows ZIP utility.

Sorry to get you running in the wrong direction.
