I am currently building a site for a client who requested we use the Kartris system. All was going well until I came in this morning to find that the DNS and SQL services had crashed on the server that this site is hosted on. Once these were back up and running I am greeted with this error when going to default.aspx or a product page.

==================================================

We don't use ASP.Net here so this means absolutely nothing to me or my colleagues. Tried a Google search but that didn't come up with a solution.

Any ideas?

Thanks

It looks like something cached badly, maybe related to the crash. I don't think it is a code issue at all. If you don't have admin control of the server, try restarting the site (you can do this from data admin inthe back end if you can access that, if not, with FTP just edit the web.config in the root and save it with some minor change like an added space - this should force the site to restart).

Thanks for the reply. Tried both of these but still no luck, throwing the same error as before.

Any other ideas? We were so close to finishing this project and then this has happened!

Thanks

If you have control over the server, try setting it up as a new site. I've seen something similar happen to another customer using Plesk (though I don't think is related to Plesk), and it seemed something bad got cached. Creating a new site seemed to fix it, presumably because it rebuilds whatever assemblies got cached badly.

This might also help:

I tried one of the suggestions in that link which said to add something to the web.config, which I did, but that gave me a runtime error. I deleted what I originally added and now it is working!

Thanks for your help,
