I searched on internet but could not find any solution. I tried hosting on both shared and dedicated windows server but the probelm is the same. For your info I have the DotNetNuke.HttpModules.dll in my bin directory

Solution

  • I solved this by using the DotNetNuke_install package instead. I was previously opening it in Visual Studio 2015 and then trying to run locally. but now i deployed directly to iis and for edits i open as a website in visual studio
