dashCommerce

Hello,
I'm new to this product and right from the beginning it makes me go crazy.
Installation process went ok, test connection to DB
DB has all tables and some data in.
Manually update ConnectionString file
At the last Installation step  it’s telling me all went OK please remove Installation folder
I click Next got an Error
Please make sure that you setup the Database, and the Connection String in the connectionString.config file.

Went to Web Config and Set
Disable <customErrors mode="Off"/>
<compilation debug="true">
Didn’t do much:
Please make sure that you setup the Database, and the Connection String in the connectionString.config file.

Where is my problem?

Hello,

I think you should put a port number behind your server IP, like Server=172.16.1.100,1433

I  faced the same issue in my development environment, but I did not encounter this issue in my production environment.

I got around this problem (I don’t consider my approach a good solution) by  modifying the Web.Debug.config and Web.Release.config as follow:

 

I replaced:

</configSections>

  <connectionStrings configSource="connectionString.config" />

 

With :

 <connectionStrings>  <clear />  <add name="dashCommerce" connectionString="Server=mySQLserverName;Initial Catalog=myDatabaseName;User Id=MyuserName;Password=myPassword;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>

 

Please let me know if this works for you as well. Thanks

Chris, or anybody, what do you think the problem is?

  

 

I think there may be another error occurring somewhere, but the DB connection string error is getting thrown as a result. You may want to set a breakpoint on that "catch" and see if there are any errors to that point. I've never seen this, so I'm relying on you folks to give me more info. Thanks.

I thought you had to provide read and write access to the aspnet(xp) or network service(ms server) in order for the site to load.  I also had to add aspnet as a login to ms sql server and give it rights.  It loaded fine for me after that.
