Do we need to install a hotfix #2 before #3? How can I tell if hotfix #2 has already been installed?

 

[Dmitry Frantsev]

Latest hotfix includes all previous hotfixes, so you should not worry about that. Just install latest one.
We have also created additional article related to this question:

Dmitry,

I installed HF3 through the auto-update feature of the SB application. After the install I received the following error when I attempt to view the login or wizard screen:

Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

For some reason the HF created a new website, using .NET 1.1 and stopped my old website. I changed the new website to 2.0.50727 and now everything works again.

Why would the HF create a new website and why would it be .NET 1.1?

Ok, so let me clarify. I can now get into the Admin interface and edit the settings of the SB instance. I am unable to edit web pages or preview sites. When I look in the LogEntity table in the DB I see the following error message:

SWsoft.SiteBuilder.Modules.Storage.ProviderException: RemoteConnectionError ---> System.Net.WebException: The remote server returned an error: (500) Internal Server Error.

Additionally, when I go to edit an eShop I get the following on-screen error: The site is unavailable. Please contact your administrator.

Latest development...

I disabled the new website created by the HF and went back to using my original website (both are pointed to the same dir) and now everything is working.

I would still like to know why the HF created a new site in the first place.

-Ability to customize "Go to Admin Panel" link behaivor
