How do you create the dashCommerce3 RC1 store SQL database?

Reply Contact

Hi,

I'm very new to the dashCommerce starter kit and also to the SQL EXPRESS database engine. I downloaded the dashCommerce3 RC1 application and un-zipped it. But I don't see an obvious .mdf database file or a .sql script file to create a store database. Can someone tell me how to create or download the a sample SQL database file to use with the dashCommerce3 starter kit?

Thanks,

King

First start off by reading the ReadMe.txt file located in the Web folder

You have to create the database yourself using SQL Server Management Studio (Express)
The installer will insert the sql files (if you want to run them yourself you can find it Web\install\scripts)

I don't think that the readme.txt mentions the DB setup steps. But if you look under the Documentation link you will find two pdf files that you can download that are quite helpful in getting started.

Installing Microsoft SQL Server 2005 Express Edition with Advanced Services

Installing dashCommerce

Good Luck.

I created an empty database file (per instructions) and then tried to run the web/install/install.aspx file from within MS VWD app... I get the server error below.

The empty database container is completely empty, including has no tables defs.

How do I get around this new error?

Thanks,

King

You are missing the connection string check this (But this should only come up after the installer)

Maybe it will help if I give you the connect string I'm using and the SQL login account.

The active "web/connectingstring.config" line I'm using is:

I created a SQL authentication login: username: dashCommerce, password: dashCommce.

The empty database file name is dashCommerce.

The reason for the error message was a result of running the install.aspx file from within the MS VWD app. I misstatenly assume that it was running by default - because, it was the last thing I selected before hitting the run hotkey. Nevertheless, I got through the login process... but now I have IIS configuration problems.

Thanks for your assistance,

King

Here's another thing to keep in mind if you run into this error: "Invalid object name 'dbo.dashCommerce_Core_ConfigurationData'". I wanted to test the installation to see if I could help out, so I created a new empty database and then attempted to run the install.aspx, and lo and behold I got the "Invalid object name 'dbo.dashCommerce_Core_ConfigurationData'" error. The problem was that I had the Exceptions (in VS 2008) setup to break on any Common Language Runtime Exception that was thrown. This was because I was debugging another application and left this setting turned on.

To check your settings, or to turn this off, go to the Debug - Exceptions menu in VS IDE, and then uncheck the "Thrown" checkbox next to "Common Language Runtime Exceptions". I believe that is the only way that you will get this error about the "invalid object name". I hope this post helps someone in the future.
