Hi, I'm a newbie to Compression and DNN to please forgive me if this is a dumb question. After copying up the PageBlaster dlls and making the webconfig updates my site seems to stall. For example the site will load, but the page is blank, when I press reload (IE or Firefox) the page then loads. I have to do this for each page, it also seems like each user the same issue (not just the first time through, seems as though the user needs to press reload at least once to view the contents). Have I configured anything incorrectly? page-param="tabid" cache-folder="/portals/_default/Cache" memory-cache-interval="00:04:00:00" memory-size-limit="25" disk-cache-interval="01:00:00:00" disk-size-limit="100" compression-algorithm="gzip" compression-level="high">

Hi, That looks like the default config, and it sounds like it is working but it may be getting an error when it tries to write the cached page to disk. Try setting the disk-cache-interval to all zeros to see if the problem goes away. If it does, then you need to make sure that the anonymous web user assigned to your website (usually ASPNET or Network Service) has permissions to write to the cache folder.

I am also new to DNN and I have copied the DLLs to bin and modified web.config, but nothing happened? Am I too dumb for using PageBlaster :( Where should I see the new modules effects?

LOL, no one is too dumb for PageBlaster. Did you put the Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file in the same folder that web.config is in? You can tell it is working if you see files created in the cache-folder.

:) I put the config file where the web.config stayed. I have noticed that it created some htm file for some tabs, but not all of them. config setting is the default. All of the pages are accessed with 'tabid' page-param. So, I didnt understand why it didnt cache some of it.

A page is not cached until it is requested the first time. As your pages are accessed the cache will grow.

What if pageblaster is installed, the config file is in the DNN root along with the DNN web.config but the cache folder is not getting larger? I've been looking at c:\windows\cache and it is not growing. Thanks.

Hi Tigger, Is the attribute called cache-folder in your config file pointing to c:\windows\cache? If you point to a folder outside of your web you will need to make sure that the folder also has modify permissions by the anonymous web user (usually ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICES). You can test to see if it is really working by deleting the cache files in the folder and see if they come back when you access a page. Also, the folder may not grow very large, PageBlaster automatically deletes files that have not been used and have expired.

John; I just installed the free Pageblaster 2.1.2 to try it out with my DNN site and am having the same issue that guy posted above. I tried setting it to all 0's for the disk-cache-interval and still am having no clue. I looked in the Cache folder and nothing is being created. My question is what would be causing this? Thanks for any help. Mark..

Hi Mark, I have recently completed a newer version with Tracing capability. If you send me an e-mail (pageblaster AT snapsis.com), I'll send you the new DLL with instructions on how to enable tracing. Then we should be able to figure out what isn't working.
