DotNetNuke 3.3.5 authentication pop-up?

[RFH Reseller: Jaro]

I've installed DNN 3.3.5 on a RFH account and it works, except for one thing. If I visit the portal for the first time and it starts up (after not being visited for a while), an authentication pop-up appears. When I press Cancel, DNN returns an error. After this, the site can be visited without problems (no more authentication pop-ups). I tried it on several systems (Windows and Mac) and using several browsers, the problem appears to be server-side.

I searched the DNN forums and the issue I experience is discussed here (although beit for DNN 4.x):

Has anyone experienced/solved this problem on a RFH account?

Btw. I used DNN 3.2.2 several times on RFH and it doesn't seem to have this issue.

Thanks!

The latest version of DNN will not work on RFH or any/most shared hosting enviroments due to something new that they implemented. It is something that has been raised with them see the following link

DNN 4.0.3 & DNN 3.2.2 should both be fine. If you are happy to recompile the DNN code then read the post and the latest version should then work. I did have a copy that I compiled for another user on RFH that works, however, since updating my PC I do not have this any more. Also my Dev PC has gone back to Mesh at the moment to be sorted so I'm unable to recompile it again for you.

Ok, this clarifies it. For now I will just install 3.2.2 and continue my development with that release. Thanks!

No worries, I have now got a mini dev setup on my laptop. I will look at trying to recompile 4.3.5 and post a working version in the DotNetNuke forum next week sometime. I can't make any promesis though.

Just a quick update on this, at the moment I'm struggling to reproduce this issue on my test machine. Once I can reproduce it I can start to look at a solution.

I have been doing some looking into this myself. (Thanks to Warren for helping me to setup my system to reproduce this error).

Basically, I thought why not do this task as a schedule. However, I have discovered that all the Schedule tasks seem to run under the App Pool identity. I believe that this is because when the scheduler is created to manage the tasks that is the account that is running at the time. It is my believe that this could cause more issues with scheduled services. Not sure what can be done about this.

I'm still looking into a better solution for this than just removing the

'Process any messages in the EventQueue for the Application_Start event
Dim oEventController As New EventQueue.EventQueueController
oEventController.ProcessMessages("Application_Start")

Lines of code in the Application_Start event. If you are desprate for a version of 4.3.5 that works (with the scheduling issue that I have discovered). Please let me know and I can now produce you a version.

Thanks for the info you provided. For now I will stick with DNN 3.2.2 and hope the next release will be fully working 'out-of-the-box' on RFH again...

I have now uploaded a Modified version of DNN 4.3.6 that works on RFH. The thread is here
