I moved a DNN 7.3.2 site from a Windwows 2008r2 server with SQL Server 2008r2, IIS 7.5 and ASP.NET 4.0.30319.42000.

I moved to a Windows 2012 Standard server, SQL Server, SQL Server 2012, IIS 8, ASP.NET 4.0.30319.42000.

On the new server, the site runs, but every module fails to load with a message similar to this:

 

Error: is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Instrumentation.DataConnectionFailedEvent' threw an exception. ---> System.TypeInitializationException: The type initializer for 'Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Instrumentation.DataConnectionFailedEvent' threw an exception. ---> System.Security.SecurityException: The source was not found, but some or all event logs could not be searched.

The connection strings use the "sa" account, so there should be no permission issue, but this message seems to be all about permission.

 

Can anyone help?

Yes, one of a number of custom modules, about which I know nothing and on which the site is built.

This runs with a custom app pool, and the identity has full permissions on the directory.

What else should I know?

(The site otherwise runs just fine, including all of the admin and host pages and modules.)

Joe, by the way, the EventLog in this trace stack is not referring to the DNN EventLog. Does this server have earlier versions of .NET installed? If not, that could be the problem. If memory serves correctly, this library is from .NET 1.1. :)
