Central Admin now showing up after RADEditor install

[Praveen]

I am trying to deploy the RADEditor for SharePoint using the stsadm command given below. 
Command was successfully completed. However after the install my SharePoint Central Admin is not showing up. I am getting "An unexpected error has occurred."  when I try to launch Central Admin.

stsadm -o addsolution -filename RadEditorMOSS.wsp
stsadm -o deploysolution -name radeditormoss.wsp -url "http://localhost:8080/" -immediate -allowcaspolicies -allowgacdeployment -force
stsadm -o execadmsvcjobs

EventViewer does not show any error. 

I appreciate your help on this issue.

Thanks,
Praveen

Hi Praveen,

Could you please give us some additional information? Are you upgrading from a previous editor version or is this a new install? Also, does the error still occur if you raise the application trust level to Full and restart IIS?

Thank you.

As soon I deploy the WSP, it messes up my web.config file. Now I am getting the following error when I try to browse to the Site Features pages.

I have checked and I do have a correct version of telerik and Rad dll in GAC. 

I would appreciate if someone from support can help me with this today. As we need to decide on using the RADEditor by tomorrow noon. 

Please help.

After removing the following statements from the Web.config my site works fine. Not sure whats going wrong with Telerik.

Hi Praveen,

As I can see from the code that you removed you are trying to use RadEditor for MOSS 5.3.2. What you need to do is.
1. Extending your MOSS site with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX. Here are the help articles that you will need to do this.

• Extending your MOSS site with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 - for .net 2.0
• Extending your MOSS site with Microsoft ASP.NET AJAX 3.5 - for .net 3.5 in addition to the article please make sure that you add to the web.config <runtime><assemblyBinding> section the following code.

  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>
  </dependentAssembly>
  <dependentAssembly>
    <assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions.Design" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
    <bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>
  </dependentAssembly>

2. Follow the help article on Installing RadEditor in a MOSS 2007 farm.

3. You can review these articles as well.

• Using the RadEditor WebPart
• Using RadEditor in List Items 
• Using RadEditor in Web Content Management scenario

In addition you should know that this week we will release new version or RadEditor for MOSS 5.4.0. There is included new MOSS related features, the use of the new File explorer in the Editor dialogues and some IE8 related fixes as well.

I hope this helps.

Thanks guys!

Adding the assembly bindings did the trick. I would suggest to add this step in your online documentation.
 

I appreciate your help.
