Installation problems on godaddy hosting

I'm using the mojoportal-2-2-9-2-mssqlreleasefiles release, I uploaded all wwwroot files to my host's root but I have been getting the We're sorry but a server error has occurred while trying to process your request. mojo error. I have ensured that the important mojo folders have web write permissions on, I have even enabled write on inheritance from root to all the other folders.  

 For what is worth, the same release (as well as the source code version) works just fine on my IIS 7 local server and I am using it with the godaddy's hosted  ms sql server database.  

 Am I doing something wrong here? Thanks in advance

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

Its because GoDaddy enforces a Medium Trust policy.

Follow the instructionshere very carefully and it should work:

Hope it helps,

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

Thanks, that helped. I followed the 4 steps, Setup/default.aspx says all is ok, I got the Default.aspx to work but whenever I try to login it gives me the same error in my original post. Does this have something to do with GAC? Pardon my noobness, but these are my first steps in the asp.net world

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

If you download the mojoPortal log file you can find out the specific error. Its located at /Data/currentlog.config, its just a text file, download it and look for the errors at the bottom as they are the newest, there will be lots of errros at the top that are just from the installation, like it throws errors at first because no tables exist and such and these errors are expected.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

I looked into the currentlog.config file and apart from other various errors, the most recent one and I think the most important is this:

ERROR mojoPortal.Web.Global - my-ip-en-US - /Secure/Login.aspx
System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'mojoPortal.Web.Framework.CryptoHelper' threw an exception. ---> System.Security.Cryptography.CryptographicException: The system cannot find the file specified.

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

This sounds like a missing file, does the file mojoEncryption.config exist in the root of the web? If not then upload it.

Password format is set to hashed by default, if all else fails you could get past this error by changing to clear text. To do that you would have to go directly into the db in the mp_Sites table set PasswordFormat = 0

Then in mp_Users overwrite the hashed password with a plain text one of your choosing.

Then touch Web.config to recycle the app or if your control panel has a button to recycle use it.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

Thanks for the answers, I managed to login by going into the db and changing the two tables, there were no missing files.

 At the moment I think I am dealing with another problem, whenever I want to add new content to a page the only features that are available from the drop down list are Html Content, Site Statistics and Web Part.

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

Does anyone know where I can find the scripts that insert the admin user into the mp_Users table? I have run the setup multiple times and my mp_Users is still empty.

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

Hallo all,

I'm trying to install mojoportal - when I run it under my local computers IIS, it works great!

But - if I install it on my hosting server, I have the same problem as you had - when I want to add new content to a page the only features that are available from the drop down list are Html Content, Site Statistics and Web Part. Frown

I would like to ask you - did you found any solution for this problem? Thank you wery much..

 David.

Re: Installation problems on godaddy hosting

My guess is you produced your own deployment package using the Visual Studio publish feature which does not work with the mojoPortal project structure. If you deployed one of my deployment packages all the features would be there. T make your own package correctly use the free UnleashIt tool.

Hope it helps,
