I am using DNN 6.01. The pages page (admin) is blank. I have ticked show in menu but nothing. The only pages that show up in the menu are the ones that are with the custom install, not any new ones I create

First, I would recommend that you upgrade to 6.1.1.

Next, set the Pages page to Edit mode. See if there is an instance of the Pages module on the page.

If the module is not on the page, go to the Host, Extensions page to see if the Pages module is installed. If it is not, you will need to get a copy of it (look in the Install, Modules folder in an install package -- copy the .resources file, rename it to a .zip file and install it "normally.")

Once you have the module installed, you will need to place an instance on the Pages page. It should be in the Admin modules category.

Thanks Joseph. It's now working. I have another problem now as I can't login. I was trying to move to the login function to the top right corner (it was in the footer). Once I had acheived this it wouldn't let me log in. I then restored the files to the way they were but now I can't login at all.

That particular error is usually "fixed" by clearing your browser's cache and reloading the page.

If that doesn't work for you, please send a URL where I can see this happen.

Hi Joseph

I cleared the cache from the broswer and that didn't work. I cleared the cache from the site via ftp and that didn't work.

The site is here http://sustainablebusinessalternatives.com.au/

I visited the site, browsed through all of the pages reachable from the main menu and didn't see any errors.

It is possible that there are other browser settings that prevent viewstate from being loaded.

Also clear the DotNetNuke cache. This is a link on the Host Settings page in the Performance section. If you are using DotNetNuke 6, this is also available from the Tools tab in the control panel. Also check your caching parameters on the Host Settings page.

I cleared the dnn cache from ftp as I can't login to the site. Is there a back door to getting in. I am using DNN 6.01

If you delete everything in the cache directory, I guess that should do it.

Should I assume that doing that did not work for you?

If you'd be interested, I can take a look if you want to send me some login credentials. Use the contact form at patapscorg.com.

Oh, it looks like you don't have a login module on your login page! You can fix that if you have access to the database and can clear the correct entry in the database. It's LoginTabId in the PortalLocalization table.

Thanks for your help. In the end we just restored the database to an earlier time.

Hi, i got this:

DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.PageLoadException: Failed to load viewstate. The control tree into which viewstate is being loaded must match the control tree that was used to save viewstate during the previous request. For example, when adding controls dynamically, the controls added during a post-back must match the type and position of the controls added during the initial request.

that happens in IE11, and sometimes with IE9.

What can i do?

Thank u.

Does this happen in normal operation, or does it happen after the site might have timed out (after a number of minutes of inactivity)?

Does this happen ONLY with IE?

That happens when i want to login, immediately i got that exception.

That happens with IE9 and IE11 in a Server 2008.

IE11 in a Windows 7 works perfectlly.
