Windows Server Error on DDR Menu Started By tony bonn I have very frequent incidence of the following error on windows 2012r2, in the event log, which seems related to dnn. i am running dnn 9.6. i believe that this causes an application crash.in which the client becomes unresponsive. In numerous cases i encounter service unavailable (http 503) because the apppool is disabled! so i have to start the apppool. this is more of a booby trap than windows 3.1. is ddr a 9.6 artifact, or is it something i have lingering from legacy dnn installations if ...	8	3229	2	6/14/2020 10:48 AM by tony bonn

URL Injection Vulnerabilty Started By Stuart Hi, we recently had someone create a folder and an aspx file in the root of dnn site via URL injection. This site is an old version 'DNN 7.0' that was due to be upgraded. Another Dnn site ver 9.1.1 site had a unknown text file in the root which is obviously an attempt to test an attack. Has anyone experienced similar or any knowledge of how this may have been done is there something that can be done to secure the root folders/prevent url injection or test a site to see if secure, wi...	6	3603	3	1/16/2020 9:35 AM by Stuart
Search not working in DNN with language, please help Started By Hayden I have a DNN website in Swiss website I installed the German language pack and made it the site default and changed the Query Analyzer for Search to use Lucene DE.

Re-create composite files Started By Michael Tobisch I ran into a little problem with the messages function (look for details at this GitHub issue). When I use the workaround documented in the issue (changing a bit of a Javascript) it works fine - but only when composite files (Server >> Server Settings >> Performance) are turned off. When turning it on again, it does not work. Is there any way to re-create the composite files, or how can this be solved Happy DNNing! Michael	3	1888	0	6/11/2020 2:45 AM by Michael Tobisch

Samesite Cookie Changes Started By Stuart In light of the new changes coming this month how are DNN users handling this, and what impacts it may have if nothing is done. I must add that I have only just skimmed the documentation about it so far, and from what I can gather is we probably need to add something to our web config configuration section, although I am not exactly what or how that is structured yet, also will this vary with each version of Asp.Net or even DNN Versions. Any helpful hints or examples are appreciated. ...	3	3856	2	2/5/2020 6:08 AM by Stuart
