Ran into an REALLY confounding problem today – my localhost DNN sites stopped rendering module content. No errors, just no modules.
After digging around in Default.aspx, I found my way into the injectModule method of Skin.vb. After tracing around in here for a while, I found that the visibility of the module was being controlled by a cookie…
If Not Request.Cookies(“_Tab_Admin_Content” & PortalSettings.PortalId.ToString) Is Nothing Then
blnContent = Boolean.Parse(Request.Cookies(“_Tab_Admin_Content” & _
PortalSettings.PortalId.ToString).Value)
End If
Somehow the cookie for http://Localhost/dnn had been set so that it had _Tab_Admin_Content set to false. The net effect is that no modules would be rendered.
I’m not sure how this cookie got set, but it was a dog to track down.
