One day you get the error  500 – Internal server error  when entering your webpag! You didn’t change anything on your DotNetNuke 7.x (DNN) Installation with a DB running on SQL 2008 express.

You realize that the Database reached it’s 10 GB limit and this because of a lot of “Scheduler Exception” events.  Here I show how to solve this problem!

I write my blog entries with Windows Live Writer. When I write it in “one step” and publish it, everything works fine and only the “Read More >>” link is displayed! But when you change something in the title and publish it again, an additional “PermaLink” entry is created. Here I explain, how to remove this unnecessary link again.

After I switched from my Microsoft Forefront TMG (2010) Firewall to Sophos UTM (9) my  Syntax Highlighting

in the DotNetNuke (DNN) Blog Module posts didn’t work any more. The JS / CSS files needed are externally hosted! So a new firewall rule is necessary to solve this issue!

In December 2012 I updated my DotNetNuke Version 6.2.5 to 07.00.00

I received the following "SqlDataProvider Error!" when running the upgrade script:

How to Use Microsoft Windows Live Writer to write and publish a blog post entry for DNN (DotNetNuke). All the work can be done from Windows Live Writer (WLW)!

From time to time, new DotNetNuke versions are released.

You get the information from the DotNetNuk e homepage or on the host configuration – page (see right picture above) when you have the “Check For Upgrades?” – Checkbox activated.

In this Post I describe all the steps (also the backup stepts before the upgrade) to update your DotNetNuke installation.

This post explains how you have to configure Windows Live Writer to connect to your DNN Blog.

It also describes registry and FileSystem locations of the templates and configurations.
