| Are you able to register as a new user? Are you able to look into the site's database? |

Yes, I can register on the website but that doesn't give me access to my website content. I have a hosting account and could get into the database somehow, I'm sure. Thanks

If you can look into the database, you can find the usernames in the Users table.
If you are using a standard DotNetNuke installation, passwords are stored in the aspnet_Membership table. Most likely, these passwords are store in an encrypted or a hashed format.
If you can find username, you might be able to use the "forgot password" feature. This will depend on whether or not your site permits password recovery.
If you can't recover a password, register a user with a known password. You might be able to copy the encrypted/hashed version of the password of the known user to the host or admin user. You'll also need to copy the PasswordSalt. I would be very careful with this approach. As your hosting company to make and save a copy of your database in the event that you'll need to restore it. |

If you can't recover a password:
Create a new user account
Go into your database tables
Open the Users table
Search for the username that you have just created
Look at the IsSuperUser column - change the value for your new user from false to true
This will give your new user account full host access.
From there you can login to your dnn installation and access any of the accounts that you need to

Hi everyone,
I had the same problem as above, I used the create a new user and set to super user method to log in to my page, only to be greeted by a new problem...
the links on my website no longer work
This is a real pain because not all of the pages are accesible from the menu panel, which for some reason does work? Is there any way i can fix this or do i have to go through the site and make all the links again?
Thanks in advance. |

I had a site running from a local server, when i put this live i could no longer log in using Admin or host so i used the method shown above to get me in.
Also after the site went live for some reason the links stopped working. I have had a play around with them and if i break the links and create them again they work fine but you can see from an example.
If you go to this website and try to click on one of the listed councils it will not do what its supposed to.

The site is no where near finished yet, i set it live now to save me doing it later on, so please take no notice of its rubish-ness and emptiness. |

ok the logging in problem sounds as though you didn't transfer the original web.config that you had on your localhost installation. - In your web.config is some machine key codes and the installation date. DotNetNuke uses those to interpret the passwords.
Ok, on the links, they maybe using the URL of your localhost installation rather than the live site. I can't tell from viewing those links as they have link click URLs to track the number of clicks. - if you go in to edit the links, do they have localhost in the URL?
this tutorial covered problems with links after uploading in the text HTML module, but you will have to adapt this if you are using a different module:
Find and Replace SQL queries for DotNetNuke
(To fix problems after transferring a localhost database to a live website and other useful functions)

From what I can see none of the links have localhost/... in them?
Is there a quick way in which i can fix them all with out having to do them all again? |

I am using the TEXT/HTML module...
The links for the page all like this:
/DotnetNuke/=140&tabid=68
/DotnetNuke/LinkClick.aspx?link=140&tabid=68

To add a link all I have been doing, on both local and live servers, is highlighting the text and clicking add link? then browsing the server for my page.
Its strange because not all links are broken? |
