Doh! You've been working hard on your skin, uploaded it and then realised you forgot to put the Login link on it!

How do you now login to your site?!

If you add ctl=login to the end of a querystring it forces a load of the login dialog eg.

www.mysite.com/default.aspx?ctl=login

7th October Update

John Mitchell has also posted a solution in his blog, where he has created an alternate login page that you can upload, you can view the details here:

Yes, I already follow the above method but it couldn't work out.
As I set login link to home page so everytime I click on login; it will come up on my home.
Do I need to re-install it again to fix it? God; this is the last choice for me.

Thanks

Which version of DNN are you using? If it is below DNN 4.3 / 3.3 uploading the login file that is available for download from the blog link works every time.

If you are in DNN 4.3 / 3.3 - Can you access your SQL database? In the blog link there is a SQL statement that you can use to fix the problem. - I haven't tried this out but it should work.

If you can't access your SQL database, perhaps you could send a help ticket to your hosting provider to see if they will run the SQL statement for you?

This is the only option that you have left as far as i know, otherwise it will mean a re-install. - Unless your hosting provider keeps regular backups of your site - you could ask them to install the backup version.

Hope you manage to get it sorted without re-installing, let us know how you get on, thanks,

If you have FTP access to your DNN installation there is a very simple thing that you can do. Go into

Portals/_default/Skins

and either rename or delete the directory that contains the skin with the forgotten. Then refresh your browser. The default DNN skin kicks in to take the place of the missing skin that is supposed to be there and voila you have your Login link again.

That's a good tip that I sometimes use, and for anyone else reading, it can be applied to any mistake you make when skinning which causes DNN to throw errors where you can not access your portal as the default DNN skin always kicks back in allowing you access to fix your mistake.

Thanks,

I made a boo-boo. I think I accidentally removed All Users from View permission on the Login page setting. I can't even view the page. How can I solve this problem?

Can you login? Are you currently logged in?

Have you tried the things above to login?

If you add ctl=login to the end of a querystring it forces a load of the login dialog eg.

www.mysite.com/default.aspx?ctl=login

All I can suggest is what is mentioned above:

If you are in DNN 4.3 / 3.3 - Can you access your SQL database? In the blog link there is a SQL statement that you can use to fix the problem. - I haven't tried this out but it should work.

After running the SQL statement, I got this error message on my pages
An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)

This error occurs on all of your pages?

What did you enter as your SQL statement?

If it executed correctly, view the 'Portals' table in SQL server enterprise and you should see in the LoginTabid column the value of <NULL>

I entered:
Update Portals Set LoginTabId=null Where PortalId=0
There seemed to be a conflict between SQL 2005 and SQL Express which I had both installed in my PC. Anyway, I have resorted to reformatting my PC and start over again.

Hi,
I have a problem login in.
I have installed DotNetNuke on my localhost, and the installation was successful, but when I tried to login like Administrator, with the password I set in the installation process it didn't get me to the Edit-Page but I get me to the Home-page.
I can't edit my WebPage.

Please help....

You might want to try to use a tool like Fiddler (google to find it) to get a trace of all of the http calls and redirects. Perhaps something there will tell you what's happening.

I've got to believe that there is something going on with IIS that is causing this. Are there any host headers or other things associated with your website?

Is there any chance that you can try doing an install on another computer?

If you can't connect to the server, problems that you might be having could be related to that issue.
