Hi,
We have WSS 3.0 running on Windows 2003 Server with Forms-Based Authentication. It has been running for months but now if I now try selecting ‘Register’ or ‘Forgot password’ I now get a ‘File not found’ error (looking for https: //www.....uk/_layouts/useradmin/register.aspx and https: //www.....org.uk/_layouts/useradmin/retrieve-password.aspx respectively)
I believe that it is related to the .NET 3.5 Family service pack as I’ve been able to ‘break’ an old image of the server before it was patched. Patching it with the .NET 3.5 service pack gets the 'File not found' result that we're now experiencing so it is a reproducable error.
I HAVE tried rolling back the service pack for .NET on our test server but it does not resolve the problem. Taking off too many service packs related to .NET breaks the website completely and putting them back on again does not recover it either.
I have tired turning on debugging and I get messages like "File not found. at System.Reflection.Assembly._nLoad(AssemblyName, String codebase, Evidence assemblySecurity, Assembly locationHint, StackCrawlMark& stackMark, Boolean thrownOnFileNotFound, Boolean forIntrospection) etc etc .. but am none the wiser
Any help GREATlY appreciated :o) Someone else must have experienced the same thing. Mustn't they?
