Hi Guys,

I'm experienceing the dreaded "If Config.GetSetting("ServerName") = "" Then" error or BC30451: Name 'Config' is not declared. 

I'm currently using the source code version of DNN5.1.1 and moving it from a development area to a performance testing server. I've built the item in Visual Studio before transfering the files to the different server (no probs there) and I've moved the same build to a seperate server and all is well.
 
On my performance testing server (the one that's giving me such headaches) I have made sure that all files were copied over, a build was done in Visual Studio, IIS is setup correctly, I have made sure all permissions are correclty set. I have also ran the following:
 
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -u
C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe -i
 
The performance testing box isn't 64 bit (to my knowledge) nor is the SQLserver it is connecting too.
 
I've spent days trying to sort this does anyone have any ideas? Please!
 
Mike

You need to put a web.config file in the root of the website project.  Just make a copy of the release.config file to do so.

Hi Will, Thanks for the advice. I do have a web.config file in the root - I don't have a release.config though.Would adding a release.config help?

Have you ran the site through another build after putting the web.config in place?  The release.config is not required, but it is good to have as a backup of the config file.

Hi Will,

I've put the new web.config on top of the old one and amended the DB stings, etc... nothing seems to work! This has me stumped!

If it assists I know the Databases server is 64 bit whilst the webserver is 32, will this raise any issues?

Anybody?
