Hi Peter,

I just installed DMX 4.2 on my DNN 4.8 portal.  Following the installation process, everything seemed to proceed normally without any errors.  Since I am installing over a DMX3 installation I also ran the specified update script.  While I was logged in, everything seemed to function normally.  However, after logging off and attempting to log back into my site, I received a Windows Authentication challenge.  I tried using my server username/password and I also tried using both my DNN host and admin username/passwords.  Nothing worked.  The site is running but I can't login.

Note that I didn't make any changes in IIS other than what was specified in the installation manual.  That is, I didn't change the authentication or access control.  The DesktopModules\Bring2mind\DMX directory appears to have the correct worker process and rights (Menu and Core exist) and the database checks out as well.  I made no other changes to the site.  Fortunately, I have everything backed up, but I'm hoping you'll have an answer before I have to backout the changes.

Thanks

Scott

Hi Peter,

Yes, I did restart IIS and it didn't help.  I'll have to get back to you about the various httpModules.  In the meantime, I do have some additional information.  I restored my site using my backups and then reinstalled DMX4.  As I performed each step, I checked to see if I was having the same problem.  Everything worked until I went to activate the module.  Upon successful activation, I logged out, attempted to log back in, and received the Windows challenge.  I looked in my web.config and noticed that the key, order, and name referenced the old DMX 3 values.  Since I had printed out my new information, I tried using those values, but they didn't work either. 

Anyway, I'll open the web.config file and get back to you.  Thanks.

Scott

Hi Peter,

Here ya' go:

      <!-- add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication" / -->
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
     

Thanks
Scott

Hi Peter,

My mistake.  I was unclear about the handlers.  My web.config file WAS updated with the requisite handlers identified in the installation instructions.  I checked off each step as it was completed.  The list I provided shows what I have AFTER restoring my system to its original state.   I'll try a third time to install DMX4 and provide you with the relevant contents of my web.config file.  Sorry for the confusion.

Scott

Peter,

Sorry for the long delay.  I restored my system and only recently had a chance to try again.  Unfortunately, I have the same problem.

1.  I'm using IIS 6.0
2.  I'm using SQL 2005
3.  I'm running DNN 4.8.0
4.  I've installed DMX 4.2.0
5.  I made a backup of both the site and database (saved me last time!)
6.  Installation was successful (no red comments or errors; I have copy of results as well)
7.  This is copied from the IIS dialog box:
         GET,HEAD,PUT,OPTIONS,PROPFIND,PROPPATCH,COPY,MOVE,DELETE,MKCOL,LOCK,UNLOCK,DEBUG
     From "Executable":
         C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll
         unchecked "Verify that file exists"
8. Prohibited WebDAV as instructed.
9. Verified that DesktopModules\Bring2mind\DMX directory exists
10. Verified that Menu and Core sub folders exist; I am upgrading from DMX3
11. Verified that tables exist in database; Both DMX_Permissions and DMX_Entries are present
12.  I did NOT check for the stored procedures
13. Verified entries in DesktopModules table; Verified entries in ModuleDefinitions table
       ModuleDefId is 129; found 9 entries in ModuleControls table
14. Verified all 5 additions to web.config (I will show contents below)
15. Updated host settings as specified; (Whitespace not checked; added the
      exclude path for desktopmodules\bring2mind\dmx\download.aspx; used
      'Deflate Compression" as you did in the example.
16. Ran DMX 3 to DMX 4 upgrade script (no errors; I have copy of results as well)
17. Ran Reindex installation script (no errors; I have copy of results as well)
18. I did NOT activate yet.

After all of the above, I logged out and attempted to login again.  At that time I received the Windows Authentication Challenge and I cannot log in to my site.  Thanks.

See web.config below:

   
      <!-- add name="Authentication" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.AuthenticationModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.Authentication" / -->

      <!-- This adds legacy support for the Logoff page -->
     
      <!-- ASP.NET AJAX support -->
     
     
     
     
     
     
     
   

Arrgghhh...  I tried to copy the xml in the previous message and it doesn't work.  I removed the chevrons so the content can be seen.  I hope this works.

Hi Peter,

Okay, I sent it.  I'm not a fiddler expert, so I hope the file helps.  Please let me know if you find anything.

Scott

Peter,

I'm not sure why MicrosoftOfficeWebServer would be there.  I did find an Office 2003 package on my server and removed it.  It still didn't take care of the problem.  I'm not real familiar with Fiddler; how do I find out if this header is still there?

Scott

Peter,

I figured out the Fiddler question.  The header is still there.  Do you know if it is okay to run Frontpage Server Extensions?  This is the only thing I can see that might cause a problem.  My server is 'fairly' vanilla.  For the most part, I don't have office tools or other software running on the box.  I've googled the header and searched the Microsoft site, but other than removing the Office 2003 components (which I'm not sure how this was installed), I'm temporarily stuck.

Scott

Hi Peter,

I'm sorry to say that I get the same results using 4.2.1.  I've tried using XP/IE1, Windows Server 2003/IE7 and Vista/IE7.  The one commonality is IE7.
