  1. Hi all,

    I recently signed up with discountasp and installed dotnetnuke (v. 04.09.00). The performance is everything but good so I did some research and tried some of the described solutions but nothing seems to help. I also experimented with caching, but without any success.

    The first start is very slow even dough I accessed the site a couple times within a few minutes. It actually appears that it has been worse for the last 2 or 3 days. I also experienced a slow performance when I access the SQL Server 2005 database using my local SQL Server Management Studio so I start thinking the SQL Server has to do with the slow performance.

    The two different portals I have installed are:

    http://www.canada-experts.com/dnn(parent - german version)
    http://www.canada-experts.com/en (child - english version)

    Does anybody have any ideas?

    Thanks
    Stephan

    I tested your site and its only slow on first load. All subsequent hits were speedy.


    Note that DNN is a huge application (many dlls to compile) and it does take a long time to load up. You may see some improvement in speed on IIS 7.0

  3. Hi Bruce,

    Thanks for your help. It seems way faster now then 2 hours ago. Maybe it was my internet connection ... should have tested that one before.

    However, I have to say that I love how smooth everything went so far (from ordering the web space to the installation of dotnetnuke). I have worked with an other hosting company before and pretty much nothing worked well there. Keep up the good work!

  4. I have trie to install Dot net nuke on discount ASP.net. For some reason, i am getting a run time error that says like below. I have created a sub-directory under the root directory for the DotNetNuke. Am i missing something? Please help
    Runtime Error


    Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

    Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".





    Code:
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    
    <configuration>
        <system.web>
            <customErrors mode="Off"/>
        </system.web>
    </configuration>
    Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.





    Code:
    <!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->
    
    <configuration>
        <system.web>
            <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
        </system.web>
    </configuration>
     
  5. Did you follow the installation guides?

    A mistake I made after installing dnn on the server was that I made some changes in my local web.config and then uploaded the web.config again. After that I was unable to log on to the system (because of the application id stored in the web.config). So if you make any changes to the web.config please keep in mind to download the web.config from the server, adjust it on your local machine and then upload it again.

    Cheers!

  6. If you are still getting this error, try setting your custom error to 'Off'. This will show the true error message and we can troubleshoot from what it says.
