Re: Installing mojoPortal to 1and1 hosted space

Or, if you don't have an option for appPool type but you do know it to be hosted on Windows 2008, then paste this into the very bottom of your Web.config, but inside the </configuration> tag file and it may solve it.

<system.webServer>
<!-- this section only applies to IIS 7-->
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>

<modules>
<add name="GCheckoutBasicAuthenticationModule" type="mojoPortal.Web.GCheckoutBasicAuthenticationModule, mojoPortal.Web" />

<add name="BannedIPBlockingHttpModule"
type="mojoPortal.Web.BannedIPBlockingHttpModule, mojoPortal.Web"/>

<add name="UrlRewriter" type="mojoPortal.Web.UrlRewriter, mojoPortal.Web" />

<!-- AJAX Extensions support -->
<add name="ScriptModule" type="System.Web.Handlers.ScriptModule, System.Web.Extensions, Version=1.0.61025.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35"/>

</modules>
</system.webServer>

Maybe restore the System.Web.Extensions.dll if it complains about it missing.

Best,

Joe

Re: Installing mojoPortal to 1and1 hosted space

1and1 are definitely not using IIS7.  In fact, it appears the opposite is the problem--they are behind the times.

I tried removing the System.Web.Extensions.dll from the bin, and got errors complaining about lines in the web.config referring to it...so not in GAC.  I tried commenting out the lines in web.config, but no dice.

 

Looks like I'll be finding a new host...hopefully I'll be back in a couple days with a live site!

Re: Installing mojoPortal to 1and1 hosted space

I was using 1and1 hosting.  They are definitely behind in the Windows hosting.  They do NOT support AJAX.  They claim they will some time in the future but the future never comes.  I switched to LunarPages.  What they offer is fair and I have full trust.  They have host linux for a long time but are new to windows.  I get unlimited MS SQL connections and 500 MySQL.

Re: Installing mojoPortal to 1and1 hosted space

I was not finished with my post.  I hit enter and it posted.

Also at LunarPages, the documentations that says it is for Windows is but parts of it are just wrong.  I have everything configured properly and it works great.  The support at 1and1 is timely but they seem to be giving boiler plate answers.  No matter how hard I try to describe my problem, they seem to ignore everything I wrote.

Lunar Pages says that I can use .NET 3.5 if I ask for it.  Soon, I plan to do that on a sub domain.

All in all, I am happy at Lunar Pages and MojoPortal works great.  The MySQL database is easy to back up and then download the back up to my computer.
