BEFORE upgrading to 1.7, are you using the SocialRewriter filter in web.config?

Disable this by adding <!-- and -->to either side of the tag.

If you haven't done this and now have a website displaying "Server error in "/" application" or similar - don't panic! Just get into the web.config and add it.

I also disabled custom skin additions relating to Active Social welcome view, but this may not be necessary.

Now going to check if there's something in the release notes about this, or otherwise raise a support request to figure out how to get my vanity url's back :-)

Hi Matt,
Please post a ticket with the exact error. We have upgraded several sites with vanity urls enabled and didn't have any problems. ActiveSocial.com is one of the sites.

It's possible it's a conflict with URLmaster, just exploring that now.

Matt,
What prefix are you using for members and groups?

Just a note that this happens even without vanity urls options switched.

Confirming that the exception noted in my helpdesk job is definitely the error, just tried disabling duplicate URL checking in URLMaster (and disabling URLMaster) and it's unrelated.

The exception I refer to is


Exception information:
Exception type: SqlException
Exception message: Invalid object name 'dbo.nArAZepRaD8Dr2pr_'.

The qualifier is there but there's no object :-)

Will rocks. Sorted it out before I blinked! :-D

Thanks for pointing this out Matt. This was definitely a problem with one of our scripts related to objectQualifier. We have corrected the install package, but if anyone else encounters this problem here is script to fix it. Just run this from host sql menu with execute as script checked.
