Re: FCKEditor Reverting to Plain TextBox

also if this machine has been up a long time without a reboot and its possible to reboot it without affecting anything critical, thats what I would do. I think I have seen weird errors like this before (not specifically with mojoPortal but with asp.net) and something was just messed up and a reboot fixed it.

Re: FCKEditor Reverting to Plain TextBox

Rebooted, didn't change a thing.

Renamed the test dll to be ...test.dll and put the original one back.

Now I'm being told that the ...test.dll isn't available???  Scince when doe ASP.NET Applications automatically reconfigure themselves when you rename a DLL???

Reboot, same story.

Rename again, ...test.dll to ...dll and the error message is back the way it was.

Stop the application pool, rename the dlls again, restart the pool, and.. you can't fool the .NET Framework, it's got a problem with ...test.dll again.

I think I'm going to start from scratch again, every time I try to *fix* something something else breaks and by the time I've investigated what the new break might be I've lost track of what I changed in the first place. so.. the whole directory is going to go, first from IIS and then from the disk.

Then it's back to the drawing board.

Re: FCKEditor Reverting to Plain TextBox

You should not rename the dll in the bin folder, you should back it up somewhere and replace it with the one I gave you to test.
.NET doesn't really care much about the name of the dll unless it is signed with a strong name key, it cares more about the namespaces inside it and by renaming you end up with 2 dlls that both have the same namespaces in the bin and this will cause an error.

Hope it helps,

Re: FCKEditor Reverting to Plain TextBox

Really?  I was thinking that the lines in web.config would be responsible for wiring up namespace to dll.

Anyway, the first test I did was to replace the dll, I had to re-extract the original from the archive.

I've already removed everything and will be downloading the 2.2.1.2 Version.  In about four hours time...
