Hi Scott,

As I once mentioned, my portal currently experiences a very weird error and it greatly affects usablility.

That is, when I click "Update" in Host Settings or click "Install New Module" in Module Definition or click "Create Portal", the request never completes and always times out, although the actions are still carried out (Settings are updated, Module is installed, Portal is created).

While the request is being executed, the site can not be accessed from anywhere (confirmed through Alertra).

The portal's database is on an independent server. This problem seems to happen right after I upgrade to DNN 4.8.2

Could you please help me with this? I have full control over my IIS (6.0)

Many thanks.

Thanks for helping.

This is the only thing I found in Log Viewer:
