Blog Engine .Net Bug....

by administrator 9. January 2010 16:17

Well, there's a couple of bugs.  First, the first post in the database won't publish for some reason.  I've been going in circles, but no matter what I do, I can't get the software to show the first post in the database to anonymous users.  We'll email the author about that problem.

The second thing I noticed is that this site won't show to anyone using Firefox or Chrome.  Both of those browsers report will either report a network error or they report that the site is using some kind of compression that isn't supported by the browser.  This happens even though I've  gone into the settings and turned all of the compression settings off.

Since this works fine on IIS 6 and before with those browsers, I'm suspicious that a setting in my web.config is doing this and that the fault is located in the System.WebServer section.  It seems as though whenever you have a compatibility issue between IIS6 and IIS7 and above, it's the result of Microsoft breaking backward compatibility with legacy websites.  It sure would have been nice if they would have given developers a migration tool, in my opinion.  If you know of an easy way to convert web.config between IIS versions, please let me know in the comments (if those are working, that is.... haven't tested it yet).

About this website...

Sometime ago I wanted a place to post about the various computer, technology, and other stuff I run into periodically so I can give back to the many communities that have been helping me over the last 20 years.  So I registered this domain name, not knowing that my ability to spell accurately was going to be affected by my age.  Really - I used to spell a lot better when I was in high school than I do now, apparently. 

Frown

So, for those of you who are wondering why the domain is mis-spelled, it's because I didn't figure it out until after the domain was already registered.

There is also a possibility that you wound up here by mistake and that you are also afflicted with the same poor spelling that I am.  If that's the case, the site you were looking for is http://www.aperture.org    I point this out because I'm really not trying to get traffic that belongs to the other site.  I would really prefer that you get to where you intended to go.
