OK folks, about about to pull the trigger!
Already have a Temp html page on the Main Domain…
Backups are done…
I will be monitoring over here during to change, and email and phones are still in place!
See ya on the “Other Side”!
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:
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!
Well, I’m doing it again…
After much playing since the August 2009 site rebuild, I decided to do it again.
This time, a fresh install of DNN 5.1.4 and UMG 6.2.1.
I have also decided to move my Forums’ posts into the Blog, and stay with the base DNN skin, and work on my CSS a little.
Just to let you all know, the Main website will be down for an hour or two while I try and update to DotNetNuke 5.2.
Wish me luck!
For the most part the upgrade went well, I did run into a few errors that I needed to search the main DNN website for “Error after install 5.2 Host Settings“, but the site is upgraded! Yeah!
Unfortunately, the upgrade did NOT help in fixing the main issue FOR the Upgrade “Can’t Edit/Update Page Settings fields“, which is driving me nuts!
