Hi Lee

Sorry to keep bothering you, I have looked for the solution to this problem without success for days.  I have posted on other forums, but so far without a reply. I know that if you can't answer this, you might at least give me a suggestion. 

I have recentlyinstalled DNN 4.3.4 and have encountered several errors, solutions currently being sort.

 However, my current main problem is:  I can't get into my file manager.

Error: File Manager is currently unavailable

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: D:\hshome\xxx\xxxxxx\Admin\Files\FileManager.ascx.vb(779): error BC30560: 'ZipEntry' is ambiguous in the namespace 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip'. ---> System.Web.HttpCompileException: D:\hshome\xxx\xxxxxx\Admin\Files\FileManager.ascx.vb(779): error BC30560: 'ZipEntry' is ambiguous in the namespace 'ICSharpCode.SharpZipLib.Zip'. at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.UI.TemplateControl.LoadControl(String virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Skin.InjectModule(Control objPane, ModuleInfo objModule, PortalSettings PortalSettings) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I am at a complete loss. The content of this site largely image based.  I desperately need my file manager, as I urgently need to upload images and other files. 

I would be grateful for any guidance you can offer in this matter.

Thanks.

Regards

Lynn

Hello cipher2079

Thanks so much for the reply.

I logged in as host, I currently have no other choice, but File Manager unavailable. (One of the problems that I am having is that I can't log in as admin, as it would not accept the password when I tried to change the dnnadmin password. Now, now it I can't even log in as dnnadmin.)

I tried the link to the forum that you provided.

One of the possible solutions was to remove the Blowery compression utility. Because the Blowery related .dll files within the bin folder may be the cause of the problem.

I tried this and it worked. Pheww.

Wow!! I now have my File Manager back. But unfortunately at the cost of losing my Blowery compression utility.

Thanks for your help, much appreciated.

Hi Lynn,

Interesting that the compression was the problem. - Are you working on a live host or local installation?

Has this solved all of your other problems?

Hi Lee

Thanks for the reply.

I do currently have the site live and on line, just.  I have been under pressure from a relative who expected it to be up and running and fully funtional with a week,  from scratch. He has already been handing out the leaflets I made and business cards containing the URL.

Yes it is a pity I have had to loose the Blowery compression utility.

Although it solved the File Manager issue, it has not resolved  some of the other problems.

• I am still unable to log in as admin
• Unable to load Speerio/Skinergy access utility tool, skin object

I have since solved the disabled text/html module by inserting missing files into the core.

I solved the hidden menu bar and login skin object caused by creating a CSS skin with z-indexed layers which moved about whilst on line. I needed to rebuid the skin and removing the layers.  Not quite as attractive, but at least it is on line.  I will tweak it as I go.

I encountered a strange error with the side menu.

I was using the INVENTUA SIDE MENU. , running DNN 4.3.4. .

The side menu works very well, displaying the parent and child as expected and looks impressive in both IE and FF. 

However,  as I am starting to add new pages and edit the page settings e.g. Page Title  "Welcome To The Home Page of www.drivewaydesign.eu, Merseyside's and North West Driveway and Patio Specialist".  The is reflected in the menu.  In the menu, the word " Home " has gone and replaced by:  "Welcome To The Home Page of www.drivewaydesign.eu, Merseyside's and North West, Driveway and Patio Specialist ".   Or  the word/link " Patio Gallery " has been replaced with "A thumbnail gallery of custom built Patio's" etc.,.  As a consequence, all the menu links are lost and the lenght of the side menu increases quite dramatically, it actually looked quite funny. 

But in order to keep the menu as intended I am prevented from using the "Page Title" within each page setting, thus reducing SE Optimisation considerabably.

But I think I have found a solution,. 

Within the menu setup insert:  UseName="True".  I hope this help somebody else with a similar issue.

Thanks
