Hi there,

Okay, I downloaded the web ready version of Dash and I'm trying to install it.

I have gotten as far as I have created a DB in SQL Server Manager. But when I try to run install.aspx i get the error below

I tried to fix it so i could see what the full, actuall error is but i've had no joy.

Anyone come across this before. This is the first site i've tried to run on IIS so ISS config may be wrong. I dont know

Anyone?

I've tried turning this off and to remote only but have had no joy!

You can try resetting iis after you set it to "Off"

Just open a command prompt and type: iisreset

Then maybe you can get the error.

Thanks man,

I'll try that later

Hey that worked!!! Thanks man.

Now, a new error!

I'm getting a 404 when I try and run the install.aspx file. I'm Running this on ISS. The URL is http://localhost/SwimShop/install/install.aspx. The dash files are saved to F:/WEB_ROOT/SwimShop and then the install.aspx file is saved in F:/WEB_ROOT/SwimShop/install/install.aspx

Out put is as below:

Obviously, i know what the error means but i can't make sense of it because the paths look good to me. Could this again be an IIS config issue? 

Have you set SwimShop up as a virtual directory?

 I did.

SwimShop is listed under wedsite in IIS manager.

Here's a screenshot of IIS Manager and the properties of SwimShop:

K,

fixed that. Might have a new error though.

Let me try and fix it first... 

Hey,

I'm not getting this error:

After a bit of googling, It was suggested that I remove line 18 from the web.config file. When I do this, i get another error saying something like the connection string doesn't exist or that its blank.

Any thoughts?

I don't see the images, but don't remove the connectionString.config stuff - you need that.

Yeah, i know they're need.

The output is:

Server Error in '/SwimShop' Application.

 Hey all,

Just got fed up and wrote the connection string myself and we seem to be in business.

Thank you SOOOOO much for your help Admin.

You're a star dude     

 right, so i got install.aspx to run.

but now i'm getting an error connecting to the db. Error is:

A critical error has occurred: An error has occurred while establishing a connection to the server. When connecting to SQL Server 2005, this failure may be caused by the fact that under the default settings SQL Server does not allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)

Now, i've come across the error before but the last time it was due to named pipes not being enabled. I have NP, TCP, Shared Mem enabled in SQL Config Mngr, SQLBrowser service started and my firewall turned off.

This is wrecking my head. Here is my connection string from web.config:

  <connectionStrings>
  <add name="dashCommerce" connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLEXPRESS;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\localswimshop.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

Thoughts? 

 Finally Finally Finall,

Got past my first pipes error. However, here is my latest error:

I went to the directory, deleted the MDF file, tried again but got the same error.

Anyone have any thoughts?         

geez...

DC just doesn't like you...

I hope you get this situated.
