Advanced Login module for DotNetNuke works with DotNetNuke 4x, 5x and now 6x.

However because DotNetNuke 6x has some popup effect by default with the login button it interferes with the Advanced Login Module popup mode.

Cannot Access CRM 2011 site 404

Something strange that we have encountered with CRM 2011 is a 404 – File or directory not found error.

What is particularly strange about this one is that the error happens from IE 9 on one computer, but the same URL and site loads correctly with another browser on another computer AND loads correctly to the authentication screens on the same computer but with a different browser.

Go figure right!

Moving from one IIS 7.0 server to IIS 7.5 is relatively easy and there are a number of tools that can assist you. Probably the best is the Web Deploy tool mentioned here:

• http://www.iis.net/download/WebDeploy

This tool can allow you to package up and migrate the entire web sites, including configuration and database files etc.

Because our IIS 7 server is almost dead, it prevented us from configuring the tool. The install files see .Net 2.0 as required, and although it was installed we were unable to get the server to see it as installed. Anyway we tried all sorts of things, and finally gave up. (Good opportunity to rag on Microsoft, but we will leave that alone).

We had a requirement today to run a DotNetNuke Website in .Net 4.0 as some code we are using as part of the Microsoft CRM 2011 SDK require .Net 4.0.

Problem is that with many of the DotNetNuke websites, they have some references that will cause this error when you flip your website worker process to 4.0. in IIS.
