Hi 

I just tried adding a razor host module to a page. When i run any of the sample scripts, I get the following error:

Error: Razor Host is currently unavailable. DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: The "" element was not closed. All elements must be either self-closing or have a matching end tag. ---> System.Web.HttpParseException: The "" element was not closed. All elements must be either self-closing or have a matching end tag. at System.Web.WebPages.Razor.RazorBuildProvider.EnsureGeneratedCode() at System.Web.WebPages.Razor.RazorBuildProvider.get_CodeCompilerType() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvider.GetCompilerTypeFromBuildProvider(BuildProvider buildProvider) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvidersCompiler.ProcessBuildProviders() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildProvidersCompiler.PerformBuild() at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.CompileWebFile(VirtualPath virtualPath) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean throwIfNotFound, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVPathBuildResultWithNoAssert(HttpContext context, VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean noBuild, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean allowBuildInPrecompile, Boolean throwIfNotFound, Boolean ensureIsUpToDate) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetVirtualPathObjectFactory(VirtualPath virtualPath, HttpContext context, Boolean allowCrossApp, Boolean throwIfNotFound) at System.Web.Compilation.BuildManager.GetCompiledType(VirtualPath virtualPath) at DotNetNuke.Web.Razor.RazorEngine.CreateWebPageInstance() at DotNetNuke.Web.Razor.RazorEngine.InitWebpage() at DotNetNuke.Web.Razor.RazorEngine..ctor(String razorScriptFile, ModuleInstanceContext moduleContext, String localResourceFile) at DotNetNuke.Web.Razor.RazorModuleBase.OnPreRender(EventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I checked that the application pool is running under .net 4.0.
Does anyone have any other suggestions?

Best Regards,

Steve,

What version of DNN is this coming from?  It almost seems like this error comes from the fact that the razor template is outdated from the MVC version referenced.  I'm pretty sure they are updating several .net references in version 8.  http://stackoverflow.com/questions/12694814/element-not-closed-error-after-upgrading-from-mvc3-to-mvc4

Hi Scott,

I just tried the exact same script in a razor module on a live site, it works fine.

The site is more or less a copy of the site on my local machine, which suggests the environment to me.

On my local machine i'm running Windows 8.1 and according to the application pool am running .Net v4.0.30319.

Best Regards,

Steve
