Unable to access site settings. Please help.

Dear all,

I'm unable to access site settings now. All I did was just set this to true :

I'm getting the following on the logs...

When I access site settings, this is what I see..

-------------------------

SERVER ERROR

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unava

------------------------

All the sub sites work fine. The smtp setting shows up in the sub sites. But I'm unable access the site settings for the first main site.

If i set EnableSiteSettingsSmtpSettings=false, I am able to access site settings.

Please guide me on how I can resolve this..

Thanks so much..

Re: Unable to access site settings. Please help.

Sounds like the machine key changed since it previously encrypted smtp settings or else you changed from using the legacy crypto helper.

The only way to fix it is to clear those settings out from the database and then you can enter them again correctly from the UI.

UPDATE mp_SiteSettingsEx
SET KeyValue = ''
WHERE SiteID = yoursiteid
AND (KeyName = 'SMTPPassword' OR KeyName = 'SMTPUser')

Hope that helps,

Joe
