Hi! I'm trying to move my CMS5 installtion from my local XP machine to Win2003 server. I installed a new site using EpiServer Manager and then copied in my page files and .dlls. The problem I'm having is that I can't get the site running due to the following unhandled exception: ClassFactory not initialized Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request.

I've got the same problem. Situation: Trying to convert my 4.61 site to CMS. I installed CMS and moved my existing code into this site. I haven't investigated much yet.

I had exactly the same error log. There was a major error in my Global.asax/cs. Perhaps you should check for something there?

Anyway, your error is produced before any page is executed...

I get a similar exception when trying to run the PublicTemplates project in VS2008. Has anyone tried to do this? It compiles/builds ok but i get a "ClassFactoryException: ClassFactory not initialized" when I try to run the project.

Nina, I got this error when I tried to run the project in the ASP.NET Development Server but the web.config was configured for IIS 7 (on Vista). So, if this is the case, just change the project settings to point to the IIS site instead.

For us this error was caused using IIS7 and EPiServer 5 R2 as the Application Pool for the website in IIS was set in the default mode of 'Integrated'.

To fix, find your application pool in IIS Manager and change the Managed Pipeline to 'Classic'
