Error using the "Import Sites and Objects"

What are you trying to import? If there are code files in the import, it might cause the app pool to restart if they are going into the App_Code directory.

When you say you checked the event logs, are you talking on the website or on the server? I'd check both as the website may not record any data if IIS is causing the problem.

Hi Brenden,

Thanks for taking the trouble to respond.

The object I exported was just an object based on "Preselect objects changed after specific date" from about a week ago that includes all objects. There have only been content changes in that period. So I'm fairly confident there are no code files in that 7 day period.

The event logs I checked are the ones on the actual website front end host server (IIS 8.5 Host). I haven't checked the DB server event log, is that what you meant? The application and system logs both have no corresponding events that I can see.

On the Web Site Host Server, After initiating the import with "preselect only new items" the IIS Worker Process (w3wp.exe) tops out at 100% cpu for around 60 seconds and then the error described displays and the w3wp.exe process goes back to 0% (as you'd expect I guess).

I was thinking App pool permissions or some setting in the app pool that I've missed.

These two servers are relatively new setups. All other functionality appears to work without a problem.

The Kentico Event logs had this:

Interestly, Looks like the error above in the Kentico Logs is always preceeded with the following error:

Not sure if that is in the object I'm importing or the existing site.

Roger,

According to your event detail, you have some code errors. Good chance you're missing a file or some files that the SecureSharePointConfigureation.cs file need. I'd find out where that ShrePointDataViewer control is and you should have your answer.
