dashCommerce

I downloaded dashcommerce Webready package and i unzipped all the files. I am currently using

• Visual Studio 2005
• IIS
• SQL Express 2005
• .NET 2.0

I am trying to point IIS (properties to the folder with the unzipped files) and I am unable to start the installation via http://localhost/install/istall.aspx. I get the "page cannot be displayed" message.

 Can someone help me with the setup process.

Couple of things.

1.) When you setup the virtual directory in IIS, set it to point to the Web directory.

2.) Then, browse to /install/install.aspx">http://localhost/<yourIISalias>/install/install.aspx (should be something like http://localhost/dc/install/install.aspx

3.) Ensure you have the correct pre-requisites installed - visit the Technology page.

Thank you very much for replying. 

I setup IIS and pointed it to the Install directory and got an error "Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. Requested URL: /dashcommerce/install/install.aspx" As per your suggestion, I read the Readme.txt. However, I couldn't find a WEB folder in the downloaded pack.

Also, I noticed in the properties (asp.net tab) of the vitural directory in IIS, the path was looking for a web.config file and I couldn't find it :

D:\Dashcommerce\install\web.config

Have I downloaded the wrong pack ?

I downloaded the Source Code version and located the web folder.

 now I get this error

Compilation Error

I apologize, that was my bust - I forgot we were on the Web Ready version. So, sticking with web ready, you have downloaded it and unzipped it to a folder called dashCommerce (presumably, but doesn't have to be exact), then, you create a virtual directory in IIS and point it to the dashCommerce directory. Then, you should be able to point your browser at http://localhost/dashCommerce/install/install.aspx.

One thing you may have to do is ensure the ASP.NET scriptmaps are registered with IIS. (For some reason, I find I have to do this an amazing amount of the time - but don't ask me why - not sure yet) To do this, bring up a command prompt and change directory to C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727

to do that, ensure you are at a C: prompt and then type:

cd "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727"

once there, go ahead and type:

aspnet_regiis -i

Let it do its magic. Then try the site again.

Looks like Paul (theonlylawislove) is going to help you out - you're in good hands, so I'll bail and try not to confuse anything.

I am still getting the same error with Source Code or the Webready version.

 This what I did so far,

• downloaded the zip file
• unzipped
• pointed the IIS to the install folder
• I changed <customErrors mode="On"> to "Off" and get the error below

 I tried contacting Paul and haven't heard back. I really need help resolving this.

Do you have MettleSystems.dashCommerce.Web.dll in the bin folder?
Is your site at the root level of the site or Virtual Directory?
Can you check what the content of that file is(Source File: c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\.....).

Do you have MettleSystems.dashCommerce.Web.dll in the bin folder?

>> Yes

Is your site at the root level of the site or Virtual Directory?

>> Virtual Directory

Can you check what the content of that file is(Source File: c:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\.....).

>> Can't seem to find the file. I think thats why it is throwing the error.

 Any other suggestions ?

Try this

You must setup Virtual Directory with these settings.
Virtual Directory Access Permissions set to allow "Read" and "Run scripts (Such as ASP)"
You should also make sure that aspnet (if you are useing XP) is added to have permissions for the site

I added teh "Read" and "RunScripts (Such as ASP)" permissions and also gave aspnet administrator rights.

 I don't think thats where the problem is. I feel there is some file missing. There is no chance of the file being deleted as I installed the package thrice and I am still getting the same error.

Can you please review the steps taken in my previous post and check if I did everything correctly.

 I started getting this error when I changed

<customErrors mode="On"> to "Off".

Before I made the change this is what I would get.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on the local server machine, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "RemoteOnly". To enable the details to be viewable on remote machines, please set "mode" to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

What suggestions would you have, if I started from sratch again.
