Many bugs and errors in 2SXC installation Can someone please give me some help? This is supposed to be trivially easy. I have spent 7 hours on this and got nowhere.

In deploying the module on new DNN install : DNN PLATFORM v. 09.02.01 (533)

  1. Install 2SXC into the DNN - Successful

  2. Deploy Content Module on to empty page: Successful

  3. Click circular icon. Popup appears requiring Auto Configure button to be clicked. Auto-Configure Content for 2sxc 11 Dialog Text:- Auto-Configure Content for 2sxc 11? (Yes, I do) install recommended content package? (Yes, I do)

Popup: Do you want to install these packages? (Yes, I do) - Default content for 2SXC11 It takes about 10 seconds per package. Don't re-load the page while it is installing. I click OK 1 second later Popup: An Error occurred. An Error Occurred Spinner rotates ad infinitum

Try the help page: It says:- "Run Auto-Configure and confirm the "are you sure" question, then wait a few seconds. Once you see the confirmation, everything worked". (Oh, No. It certainly did not!) Installing default content templates An error occurred.

Looked up the Wiki Tried to upload the Content Templates .zip file into a Content Module Admin/App. An Error Occurred on the upload. Instruction says: See below for error. (There was nothing below).

Any advice welcome!

What version of 2sxc did you install to start? - Jeremy Farrance
Also, why is your DNN version so old? - Jeremy Farrance
I uploaded the version of DNN which is provided by my provider ResellerChoice. Next Action: I'll go to GitHub and get the latest update. - Dave
I Installed 2SXC 11.11.04 which is the latest version. - Dave

What you describe should be really easy - I agree.

My guess is that something has gone wrong in a way that's hard to spot. Maybe an installation once got interrupted or something like that. It should be easy, so I really suggest one of the following options:

  1. Quickly replay the same scenario with a blank DNN to experience how it should work, and to ensure that your PC isn't doing something funny (for example, the file is downloaded by the DNN server, and if your PCs firewall would prevent the IIS from getting files, this would fail).
  2. If that worked, probably just uninstall 2sxc completely and also uninstall the DB (that doesn't happen automatically, because you may just uninstall and want to keep the data) - use https://azing.org/2sxc/l/Kf5yDYQq/uninstall-2sxc - then try again
  3. Ask a friend to play this through once with you

We just installed 2sxc on our development site, I’m super hopeful about it working - especially its ability to generate a json / json api. But! Today I used the Evoq page settings to delete “Content” instances on a test page - after that the “Add Module” to add a new “Content” instance fails - 2sxc’s javascript fails. Mysterious why just removing then trying to add “Content” instances would break 2sxc.
