Ventrian Product Forums

I tonight upgraded from v4.5.5 to v4.7. I was using the original Ventrian Human Friendly URLs on my 4.5.5 install. I used the 4.7 upgrade ZIP that is avaialble on the Dotnetnuke.com website.

Ever since the upgrade I am getting the following error on some pages:

"XML Parsing Error: no element found
Location: http://www.cluas.com/indie-music/Blogs/tabid/60/Default.aspx
Line Number 1, Column 1:"

What is interesing is that I do not get this error on all pages. The following pages are error free and render perfectly:

• my pages that have the Active Forums module installed (although the human friendly 'home page' of the forum gives the error)
• All tabs under the Admin menu

However I get the "XML Parsing Error" error on the following pages:

• All pages under the Host menu
• Various pages that are publically accessible (and on which I note there is the HTML module). This is one such example page.
• All pages that use the DNN blog module on the site (such as this).

In the web.config file I have kept the lines for the Friendly URL as they are found in the release.config file of v4.7.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

Thanks

Scott,

Thansks for the prompt reply. I have had a look at the siteurls.config file and cannot see anything that - to my inexperienced eyes - needs to be fixed. I paste in below the contents of the file (with the angled brackes removed so that it does not get mangled by the browser). Do you see anything that should be changed?

Thanks

Eoghano

Scott, Following your advice I copied a new siteurls.config (747 bytes in size) from the install package to the 'config' folder. In doing so I noted that my install also had a siteurls.config folder in its root (also 747 bytes in size), but the install package has no siteurls.config in its root, only in the 'config' folder. Deleting the 'extra' siteurls.config file had no impact? Any other ideas. I'd hate to have to roll back to v4.5.5...

Thanks

Do I recall there being some place in Admin or Host settings where a user can directly put in reg ex code for re-writing URLs? I could find no such place under Admin, and I cannot access the Host pages with this error... Could that be a source of the problem?

Thanks Scott. I was able to get into Admin -> Log Viewer but all that is in there since my upgrade are 'Application Shutting Down' and 'Application Started' log entries (which reveal nothing of use when I click them). Would it have made a difference if I used the 'install' zip package instead of the 'upgrade'?
