| John I use pageblaster 1.4.1 with succes in a few sites. (The free download version a few months ago). Today I've got something bizarre. I've setup a new site dnn version 4.4.0. And after setting up pageblaster I've got a white page with no content. I've removed of course the settings in the Have you got something like that?

| Did you remove the new Compression module in DNN 4.4? You don't want to use both of them together.
It looks like part of your post was lost, probably because of html code. Were you asking about a whitespace filter? If so, yes I do have that in version 2.0 of PageBlaster, and when I get some time I will be releasing it as part of the free version of PageBlaster. | | | |

| John No I didn't remove the new Compression module in dnn 4.4. I've seen it just after I sent this topic. I didn't know that it was a new module in 4.4.
Yes a part of my post was lost because of a html code. I didn't ask something about a whitespace filter, I just said that I've got a white page with no content after setting up Pageblaster.
But when you got some time... I look forward to have the whitespace filter... | | Vriendelijke groeten Gilbert Vanden Borre | |

| Ok, so is it working now without the compression module of DNN?
Reply to the notification from this post, or use my profile e-mail to send me an e-mail directly and I'll send you a newer free version that does whitespace removal. | | | |

| Hi I'm trying out PageBlaster 1.4.1 on a DNN 4.3.5 site and having a similar problem.
The first page loads up but all other pages are white/blank. The instructions seem to be 3 easy steps... Copy dlls to bin, copy PageBlaster.config to root and add a line to the web.config. I tried refreshing the pages but since this is my first time using the app I'm not really sure what to expect to happen.
Did I miss anything?

| Hi Ray, Yes that was it before they put compression into the core. Now you will want to remove the core compression module from web.config and replace it with PageBlaster.
Also make sure it is the first HttpModule listed.

| Thanks John.
"Now you will want to remove the core compression module from web.config and replace it with PageBlaster."
I'm not seeing anything about compression in my web.config. I've read it and re-read it and I'm pretty sure there's nothing there about compression.
Can you be more explicit please?

| Sorry, I ust noticed that you said 4.3.5, compression in the core DNN code was intorduced in DNN 4.4
It is just those three steps then. Are you getting and Pages in the cache-folder (the one specified in the Snapsis.PageBlaster.Config file)?
Can I see the page with PageBlaster disabled? Post a link here, or send it by clicking on my profile.

| Gilbert,
If you paste code into the Quick Reply (at the bottom of the thread), and then put < code > InsertCode < /code > tags around it, it will show up. | | | |

| It should be able to cache that page without a problem. Sometimes people will have two closing < /html tags in thier page because some designers use them in the skins, but this page only has one.
Try re-enabling it, then let me take another look please. | | | |

| I just noticed that it is already being compressed. You must have compression on in the IIS server. What you can do to use caching with PageBlaster is put in an excludePath so that pages are not comressed, but are still cached.
Add a path in the PageBlaster.config file:
path pattern=".*" excludeFrom="Compression" | | | |

In the mean time the site is running now with PageBlaster installed.

| Adding the path to the PageBlaster.config causes and error, it's live now if you want to look...

| Ok, now I see that they must not be allowing your application to write to the Cache Folder.
If they have specified a folder that you can write to, you can change it to that. It can even be outside of your Webroot if you want to specify it with a physical path e.g. D:\Clients\C3065\experthardware.ie\Cache
The Cache folder must exist before you try and use it. PageBlaster will make folders inside of the specified cache folder, but it will not create the folder for caching.
