Font Awesome Pro Install Error

4

We purchased the Pro license (version 5.1.1), and when trying to install the Web zip file on the server, we are getting the following error:

Error

Value cannot be null. Parameter name: value

   at System.String.StartsWith(String value)

   at System.Linq.Enumerable.WhereEnumerableIterator`1.MoveNext()

   at System.Collections.Generic.List`1..ctor(IEnumerable`1 collection)

   at System.Linq.Enumerable.ToList[TSource](IEnumerable`1 source)

   at System.Web.UI.WebControls.LinkButton.RaisePostBackEvent(String eventArgument)

   at System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint)


We tried the desktop zip file also and received the same thing.  Any thoughts?

    I believe it was a version issue between Rock and Fontawesome.  I was downloading a later version of Fontawesome that Rock didn't support yet.  We just updated a test instance of Rock to V8 and I will be trying this again shortly.  I'll let you know what I find out.

    Rock version 7.X can only use up to font awesome 5.0.13.  Version 8 can use the new format Font Awesome started using in 5.1+. I was able to upload 5.0.13 to our 7.5 environment without error, but now any new font icons are just showing as squares... still working on it. Looks like fal fa-envelope works as an outline... but others like fal fa-fighterjet don't. Just seeing squares. So yeah... I'm confused.

    Ok, restarted the rock install and all is well!  So it needs to compile the new font with a restart or something. Not sure if it needs the restart to compile the css for the new fonts into a less file, but the restart did it.  So there ya go... We ran FA 5.0.13 in Rock 7.5 and we ran FA 5.4.1 in Rock 8.4 today successfully!
