Hello,

I have downloaded the iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider from

http://www.ifinity.com.au/Downloaded/Product/iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider/?link=downloads/iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider_05.00.04_Install.zip&pg=399&md=1046 .

Then I follow the following steps

Step 2: Copy the iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider.dll in to the /bin directory.

Step 3: Backup your existing web.config

Step 4: Replace this entry:

<add name="UrlRewrite" type="DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule, DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewrite"/>

with this entry:

<add name="UrlRewrite" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.FriendlyUrl.UrlRewriteModule, iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider"/>

Step 5:   Add this entry to the  existing "friendlyUrl" provider section:

<add name="iFinity.FriendlyUrl" type="iFinity.DNN.Modules.FriendlyUrl.DNNFriendlyUrlProvider, iFinity.FriendlyUrlProvider" includePageName="true" regexMatch="[^\+a-zA-Z0-9 _-]" urlFormat="HumanFriendly" redirectUnfriendly="true" doNotRedirect="SearchResults;" checkForDupUrls="true" forceLowerCase="false" redirectWrongCase="false" replaceSpaceWith="_" logCacheMessages="false"/>

This set of options will change an 'old' DNN friendly Url like this:
mysite.com/MyTestPage/tabId/65/MyParam/MyValue/default.aspx
to this:
mysite.com/My_Test_Page/MyParam/MyValue.aspx

This set of options is a good starting point for most websites.

Step 6: Change the entry for <friendlyUrl defaultProvider="DNNFriendlyUrl"> to <friendlyUrl defaultProvider="iFinity.FriendlyUrl">

Step 7: Try it out! Note that you may have to restart your application to get the Friendly Url provider working properly.  Also note you must have your 'Friendly Urls' option in the Host Settings page switched On.

And Now my site is give following message on my DotnetNuke website.

An error has occurred.
An error has occurred.

 

Am I missing any configuration?

Please Help it is very urgent, because I am not able to see even a home page of my website.

Thanks in advance,

Ashish Shukla

To restore your site, just restore your web.config from the backup you took.

It's likely that you have an invalid entry in your web.config file, which is causing an error.  However, you will have to find out what that error is.  Have a look in the DNN event log, and the windows event log, and see if you can find out what the error is.  I can't diagnose the error without more information.

I would also repeat all the steps again, taking care to make sure that when you create the web.config entries, you get them in the correct place and close all the xml elements and attributes correctly.

That error is most likely an error in the sitemap entry, or perhaps a missing or wrongly named DLL.   Please check to see you have correctly copied the files in the install package to the correct locations.  Also consider using the Url Master module, as this automates all these steps for you, and is more suitable if you are not confident in manually configuring files and web.config entries.
