Update:  I just found out that this is worse than I thought.  I can no longer login to edit the site.

I was following the procedures in Manage_profile_properties_in_user_accounts_video4.swf, with one exception.  I was making some changes live, instead of in a virtual directory.  (I know this is foolish, but I'm trying to find out if I'm going to have problems with GoDaddy hosting, and I'd rather know up front.) 

I downloaded the Profile.ascx.resx file, modified it to include the lines that are used for adding an Accept the Terms of this site.  I changed the lines in the Profile.ascx file, except that they are called a Profile.ascx.resx on GoDaddy hosting.

It now shows:
Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089
 
No changes received yet.

Then, I uploaded the revised file to the remote system in the same location where it was originally, /ahjordan/1/admin/Users (erroneously)


In another browser, I checked my work by refreshing the page, and received the error message.

I realized my mistake.  Deleted the file from Erroneously, I uploaded this file to the /ahjordan/1/admin/Users/ and the installed in on Erroneously, I uploaded this file to the /ahjordan/1/admin/Users/App_LocalResources.

Same error.

I reinstalled the original file name.  Same error.

Is there a configuration file that I need to change?  Any suggestions?

If you have access to your database, you can go in and manually change the variable that requires that you accept the terms. I'm not quite sure where that item is stored.

In the ProfilePropertyDefinition table, setting all of the the "Required" fields to false might also help ....

I was able to
1) Download the entire site through FTP
2) Backup the database which currently has problems.

In reviewing localhost_to_live_example_web_config_fles, it appears that it is necessary to set up a Portal Alias to examine the database in a local host environment. I cannot do this because I cannot log in to set up a Portal Alias.

Two questions: Do you know of any way to open the database directly from SQLServer? If I did do this, and if I were successful at making the changes in the database, would it be satisfactory to upload the adjusted database via FTP?

Thanks,
Alan

Fist, you need to restore the backed up database to your local SQL server.

Then you can use SQL Server Management Studio (or Express) to open the database, open the PortalAlias table, and insert the required entry.

You'll need more than FTP because you'll have to restore the backed up database into SQL Server before you can use it.
