I have a DNN site (5.06) that I developed on a standalone machine running IIS7. When I copied the site to the production machine running IIS6 and enter the URL, such as www.site.com, I get a generic DNN error page with no additional information. However, if I add the default page, www.site.com/Default.aspx everything works fine.
The Friendly URL settings were never changed and I've verified Default.aspx is entered on the Documents tab in IIS6. The portal event viewer has no entry for the error page I get.
I'm nearly certain it has to do with migrating from IIS7 to II6; clearly I'm missing something here. Any ideas?
DNN has confirmed this is an error in 5.06, and will be addressed in a future update. That doesn't help me today, but I was able to work around the problem by adding the following to the Friendly URLs list:
Look for: .*/
Send To: ~/Default.aspx
I can't find the forum thread I was reading yesterday, but did find this one which also goes into detail on the issue: Error upgrading from 5.5.1 to 5.6.0
Pretty odd...
Double check PortalAlias table in your SQL server. Confirm www.site.com is in there.
Double check host headers in IIS6 has www.site.com
Make sure Default.aspx is in the documents area of IIS6 and set as the top default to run
Recycle your app pool
cross your fingers
Only thing I ever run into from IIS6 and IIS7 is in the app pool running in Integrated mode or classic... but that is usually as issue going from IIS6 to 7, not vice versa.
I was able to fix the issue (for me) by taking the web.config file from a working site with the same version of DotNetNuke and modifying it to have the correct machine key and connection strings. This is my last resort when DotNetNuke is being strange. I am running 10+ DNN sites at version 5.6.0 and I only encountered this issue once.

I'm recently going through my first Kentico upgrade on a site that was previously handed to me from somebody else. There were some hinks initially, but I have to say the V8.2 to V9.0 upgrade is gone off with a degree of success. There is one last issue I'm tackling. Initially the issue was with images stored in the database, but I resolved that with setting custom URL extensions. The style sheet we have in the database is returning a 404, so the entire site is without style.
I did some digging, and found the following:
While we were using ~/CMSPages/GetCSS.aspx in V8.2, that appears to have been deprecated/obsolete for some time now. The CSS references in the master page all point to ~/CMSPages/GetCSS.aspx.
In V8.2, I can confirm the presence of ~/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx, but that appears to be missing after the V9.0 upgrade. I installed a blank template site as well to confirm, and it's not there either. I verified I am using the latest upgrade package. I had already hit an issue with the pre-12/15 edition.
The V8.2 ~/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx does not work in a V9.0 as the API for CMS.UIControls no longer contains the ResourceHandler class (which is also used in ~/CMSPages/GetCSS.aspx).
I can confirm in the V8.2 codebase that ~/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx works, returning the specified stylesheet.
TL;DR - Upgrading from V8.2 to V9.0, I appear to be missing ~/CMSPages/GetResource.ashx, and am not sure where it got off to.

Kentico V8.2 Site in Portal Mode
I appreciate any ideas you have.
Thanks!
Most of the .ashx were moved to the CMS.UIControls assembly and adjusted to implement IHttpHandler.
This way the handlers can be used by any application that references the Kentico libraries, specifically the UIControls. This approach has been utilized e.g. in the new MVC support in Kentico 9.
If you need to customize the handlers you can take advantage of the GetFileHandler and AdvancedGetFileHandler abstract classes implementing IHttpHandler.
I was receiving a 404 on GetResource.ashx in v8 when deploying my site. I have my site setup as a web application. My problem was I was only deploying CMSApp using Visual Studio. I needed to also deploy CMSApp_AppCode. https://docs.kentico.com/display/K81/Publishing+web+application+projects+from+Visual+Studio
when I upgraded to v9 from v8.2 I was getting a 500 Error on GetResource.ashx. After my upgrade I just re-deployed. I don't know what the issue was, but getting the errors, I cleared out all the files on the Azure server then deployed. This fixed my error.
Maybe one of these two items will help you.
If I read the release notes correctly, they moved the files to the UIControls library and you can still utilize the old references without issue. I've upgraded my website from 8.0.48 to 9.0.1 and 9.0.4 and had no issues. In fact, I still use the /CMSPages/GetResource.ashx?scriptfile=/path/to/file.js I believe the change was specifically to accommodate the MVC model.
I'm having difficulty in integrating AEM 5.6.1 with Site Catalyst. It allows me to connect in the configuration successfully, but does not work on the framework setup.
I've followed the standard procedure to connect AEM to SC and it accepts my login in the configuration, but fails on the framework set up with the browser message 'We were not able to login to SiteCatalyst. Please check your credentials and try again.'. Behind the scenes in the server log;
12.12.2014 14:10:06.967 *WARN* [0:0:0:0:0:0:0:1 [1418393406764] POST /libs/cq/analytics/sitecatalyst/service.json HTTP/1.1] com.day.cq.analytics.sitecatalyst.impl.SitecatalystHttpClientImpl Data center 'https://api3.omniture.com/admin/1.3/rest/' responded with errors {"error":{"code":500,"message":"Internal Server Error"}}

I've tried accessing via the API Explorer and it works.
I've tried the troubleshooting guide without success.
I can log in to Site Catalyst, I'm an admin, I am in the web services access group.
I've tried using a clean install of CQ5.6.1 with geometrixx - it doesn't work either.
I've tried this from a server and from a localhost/dev machine with the same results. No proxy. I've even tried using the shared secret as the password but then it doesn't connect at all, and fails on the configuration screen.
What might cause this to fail?
If it doesn't work with a fresh install and Geometrixx, then it's probably an Adobe bug. That's typically the first thing support will ask you about.
I would also verify using Geometrixx Outdoors, or a more recent demo site, on your fresh install, just to ensure it's not an outdated ClientLib issue.
I know this isn't a direct answer to your question, but honestly, I would approach the integration differently. I've worked with the AEM-SC framework and it's buggy at best. It's very finicky, it doesn't REALLY work the way the documentation claims, and it requires that you're very specific about what Clientlibs are on the page.
Moving forward, I think using Adobe Dynamic Tag Manager is the better approach, for many reasons. My understanding is that it's Adobe's recommendation as well. I'd consider moving to that. In AEM 5.6.1, you'll have to customize your integration with DTM, but it's not very hard.
Solution: Add a property on the configuration node for sitecatalyst: (eg. /etc/cloudservices/sitecatalyst/my-sc-configuration)
server=https://api.omniture.com/admin/1.2/rest/
it also seems to work with newer API versions such as https://api3.omniture.com/admin/1.3/rest/
It would appear that for 5.6.1 it ignores the OSGi configuration, at least for the configuration screens. With this extra property, the framework page loads without error and allows selection of the RSID.
I know this question has been asked several times but I have a slight variance on it that I have been trying to resolve.
I have crystal reports running on an old web system written in classic asp. All the reports have been running without problems for several years, however recently security was improved so that the system is now accessed over HTTPS. Since this change the reports have all started asking for the database credentials. If SSL is disabled so that it returns to regular HTTP then they start working again.
The system was created by another developer who has since moved on so I am not very familiar with it, but as far as I am aware the reports are all set to use a System DSN set up in the control panel of the server that IIS is running on. The database is located on a separate server.
Does anybody have a suggestion as to why the reports would start asking for database credentials after changing to HTTPS and how to resolve it? I will not be able to make any code changes to the application as the source code is not available but I can modify the reports and play with connection settings etc.
I have figured out the problem. The site was running HTTPS but the button for the report was in a form which submitted to HTTP and then was redirected back to HTTPS. This was causing a loss of the session information or something like that. Fortunately the forms action url was stored in the database so it was a simple matter to resolve.
My website at Azure suddenly started showing a basic "Umbraco welcome site" instead of my website hosted on azure. I do not know why, Umbraco is not included in my sourcefiles as far as I know.
When I do http://www.mywebsitename.com it works fine and my azure website gets loaded, but when I dont include 'www'; http://mywebsitename.com - it just shows the "Windows Azure Accelerator for Umbraco" page saying:
"The Windows Azure Accelerator for Umbraco is designed to enable Umbraco applications to be easily run on Windows Azure. The accelerator has been designed to enable you to rapidly deploy Umbraco applications and updates to your application without redeploying a full Windows Azure Service Package. For more information about the accelerator, please visit the CodePlex site located here."
I do not know why this behaviour suddenly happened, how can I get rid of it? I think maybe this behaviour started when I played around with some storage-blobs
Is your DNS set correctly for the URL without the 'www.' and is your Azure app listening for both www. and the empty subdomain? Sounds to me like the URL without www. is hitting a different application.
I have a problem where, on some developer machines, everything resolves correctly and the start page is as expected (/Home/Index), but on other developer machines, it will just render a directory listing of the website root. When creating a virtual directory, it works, but we would prefer to use the development server initially if possible.
It's worth mentioning the OS we are working with is XP.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Are you talking about running your website through IIS or through Visual Studio's built in web server (Cassini)?
It sounds like you are using IIS and it is not configured for running MVC properly but without further information it's hard to say.
I would compare the IIS configuration between a working machine and one that doesn't
