When I try to logon to my DNN website, it takes password and then says the TERRIBLE message
An error has occurred.
An error has occured
I do the EXACT same thing but from the console on the web server, there is NO PROBLEM logging in.
I can ONLY logon if actually doing so on the web server
So I went to event log and below is the error
Can anyone even tell me what this says????
