I HATE computers - Seymour Digital Consulting, LLC

To say that I am upset, would be an understatement…

I was trying to publish something for my Facebook group “Chester County (PA) Photography“…

Wanted to add a New series of Categories using the DNN Blogger module, and bang…

No more Blog!

I was able to recover most of my Blog Posts, and now, slowly converting them by hand over to WordPress.

It is going to take some time, but I have far more confidence in WordPress, than I do with the DNN Blog module.

November 15th 2010 was the last time frame when this happened…

and I was doing the same thing…

What is the old idiom…

‘Fool me once, shame on you; fool me twice, shame on me’…

So, at the moment, I am recovering my DNN Blog entries, and moving them to WordPress…

I’ve had enough…

Pardon me for my Blogs brevity in the mean time…

Thanks in advance,

More Details to follow!

Update (11/16/2010 10:32 PM) – Not sure what happen, but I can tell you what I did…

Initially, I was just updating my blogs, and was doing some Category editing, when I made Modification, and BOOM!

At first, the site would not come up, and when it did,it was limping…

Within an hour, I was getting emails from my host companies tech support:

“Recently your website has been moved from your regular application to a suspect pool because your site has recently been crashing the application pool numerous times along with crashing the suspect application pool.”

This was kinda bad…

Finally, I got to the Admin pages, and started to poke around, the logs where not helping…

After some testing, and removal of “stuff”, I narrowed it down to just the “Blog” page…

Got a good backup of my database, and deleted the DNN Blog 4.0.0 module and associated dbs tables, after which, I was finally able to access the Blog.aspx page.

During this, I managed to also do the following:

Upgraded to 05.05.01 (22)
Telerik.Web.UI.dll 2010.2.713.35 is in my /bin
Blog Upgraded to 04.01.00 RC

From here, I created a fresh new blog with 04.01.00 RC, and then did a very lengthy restore of the database info back into the blog.

Unfortunately, it seems that I have lost the date/times on my comments…

Needless to say, something NAILED my Blog!
