Initial login with admin after install: server error - 2nd

Hi,

  • I use the last .NET 4 package of mojoPortal and my hosting is .NET 4
  • I am hosted in full trust

Probing system...
File system permissions ok.
MySQL database connection ok.
database permissions are sufficient to alter schema.
database initial schema already exists.
database core schema is up to date.
1 site(s) found.
Configuring feature Html Content - 00:00:00.1716000
.
.
.
when I try to login with admin@admin.com the response is :

"We're sorry but a server error has occurred ..."

Best

Re: Initial login with admin after install: server error - 2nd

Hi Matthias,

For any error the first step is to find out the error details, as in basic troubleshooting.

However, the bad news is that I can no longer produce a good build for .NET 4.0. .NET 4.5 replaces .NET 4.0 and now that I have installed the latest updates to Visual Studio, if I try to compile a build for .NET 4.0 it really uses .NET 4.5 because it replaced 4.0.

Also 4.5 is 4.0 runtime, so even if .NET 4.5 is installed it will say 4.0... under Administration > System Information. So the only good way to know if you have .NET 4.5 hosting is to ask your host and they can see under Control > Panel Programs what version of .NET is installed. 4.5 has been out for 2 years now and is like a service pak for 4.0.

If you really do only have 4.0 hosting and not 4.5 then the only advice I have is to use mojoPortal 2.4.0.3. The 4.0 files I provided for 2.4.0.4 turned out to really not be 4.0 but 4.5 and I have no way to fix it going forward because I do not have any machine that does not already have 4.5 installed and I can no longer produce a good build for 4.0 on any of my machines. Therefore going forward I can only provide builds for 4.5. I have removed our download for 4.0 for mojoportal 2.4.0.4 because it does not work reliably and gives strange errors that seem to indicate it is really for .NET 4.5

I'm sorry for this problem but there is nothing I can do to solve it, really Microsoft created this problem by making 4.5 a replacement for 4.0 but it has breaking changes.

The only solutions are use 4.5 hosting with the latest version of mojoPortal or use an older version of mojoPortal (2.4.0.3) if you don't have 4.5 hosting.

Sorry for the bad news,

Joe

Re: Initial login with admin after install: server error - 2nd

Hi Jo, thanks for your detailed reply.
An update to 4.5 must be possible.
If it takes too long, I can install up to then a version 2.4.0.2 from my stash.
Cheers
Matthias

Re: Initial login with admin after install: server error - 2nd

P.S.: Does this come from the 4.0 / 4.5 - problem?

Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a Cluster.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Web.HttpException: Validation of viewstate MAC failed. If this application is hosted by a Web Farm or cluster, ensure that <machineKey> configuration specifies the same validationKey and validation algorithm. AutoGenerate cannot be used in a cluster.

See http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=314055 for more information.

Source Error:
 

The source code that generated this unhandled exception can only be shown when compiled in debug mode. To enable this, please follow one of the below steps, then request the URL:

1. Add a "Debug=true" directive at the top of the file that generated the error. Example:

  <%@ Page Language="C#" Debug="true" %>

or:

2) Add the following section to the configuration file of your application:

<configuration>
   <system.web>
       <compilation debug="true"/>
   </system.web>
</configuration>

Note that this second technique will cause all files within a given application to be compiled in debug mode. The first technique will cause only that particular file to be compiled in debug mode.

Important: Running applications in debug mode does incur a memory/performance overhead. You should make sure that an application has debugging disabled before deploying into production scenario.

Hi Joe,
I learned yesterday that 4.5 was already installed.
I will re-upload everything again ...
