Cannot Edit Any Pages On Site using DNN 8 Started By veriatech Hello DNN Community. For some reason, we are currently unable to edit any pages on our DNN site that is using DNN version 08.00.04. I suspect something with the .NET framework is up. Maybe it was updated or something. I also tried to upgrade it to one version above (9.0) and when I start the upgrade process, it just sits there endlessly. Any help would be immensely appreciated. Thank you!	19	5234	4	5/7/2021 10:50 AM by veriatech

DNN9 site "Application Error" Started By jmv412 I'm working through Chris Hammond's 20-part tutorial on YT for DNN9 as I'm new and will be using it at my new job. In video 11, he shows how to create and package a module for use in our local site. The module went through multiple errors, and subsequently made my site stop working. The module did build successfully, but now all I see is the following image and I'm not sure how to even check the error logs. Any help as to how I can at least access the logs would be greatly appreciated!	4	3367	1	5/2/2021 10:18 AM by jmv412
