Hey folks,

Recently started looking at DNN. And did some nice tests out of VisualStudio using the 05.02.03 (74) source version of the Community Edition. Now I've tried to publish the whole means to a clean installed Windows Server 2003 with use of a seperate SQL server on a second machine.

All good so far, installation went well and all the whole thing ran using the specified domain.

The problem starts when I try to save the settings for a portal. Just changing the copyright notice and clicking 'save' alone results in the following exception:

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Input string was not in a correct format. ---> System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format. at System.Number.StringToNumber(String str, NumberStyles options, NumberBuffer& number, NumberFormatInfo info, Boolean parseDecimal) at System.Number.ParseInt32(String s, NumberStyles style, NumberFormatInfo info) at System.Convert.ToInt32(String value) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Portals.SiteSettings.cmdUpdate_Click(Object sender, EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

Now... I would have jumped in and tried to locate the error, but something tells me that this isn't a bug within DNN, but is due to something else. As told I have just a clean publish on a clean database and no adjustments to the code whatsoever (besides the web.config settings for SQL).

One thing I did notice though (maybe it's nothing) is that under the 'Other settings' section there is no timezone filled out and the box to specify one remains empty...

Hope anyone can point me into the right direction here.

When you say that you "published" the site, do you mean published from within Visual Studio?

I'd recommend that you simple unzip the install package to your web directory.  Building a custom version and then trying to install it is likely to result in problems.  Look at this tutorial: How to install DotNetNuke to Vista
