    Default Upgrading to v9, can't access admin.

    We've upgraded our development site to v. 9.0.1.3. After upgrading, the main area loads fine, but the admin area throws an "Internet Explorer Cannot Display The Webpage" error. We have run through the manual and am sure we have all settings correctly, but can't figure it out. Any assistance is appreciated.

    Does your SSL cert worked fine? Can you browse https://yoursite.com? Have you ever renamed your admin folder and modify appconfig: AdminDIR?

    Thanks for your help.

    This is our development site, so we don't have SSL turned on. Prior to using a backup of our live site database to restore in the development site, we changed the appconfig "usessl" and "wwwredirect" both to false and have the admin directory appconfig correctly set. We then reset the cache, backed up the database, restored the db on the development site, changed everything back on the live site as it should be, then ran the upgrade scripts on the development site.

    The development site front end loads and navigates fine, but the backend won't load.

    We also created a fresh database with the default "admin" as the name of the admin directory without success.

    StoneEdge has confirmed they are now v9 compatible, so we are working toward full testing, skin updates, etc., then will go live with v9 of aspdnsf.

    Got it working. I had to give "Network Service" permission to access the admin folder in the same way the manual says to give access to the addins and images folders.
