dashCommerce

Is there a document that lists the steps to install dashCommerce that is geared for the newbie (in both asp & web apps?

How "new" are you? Do you know / have SQL Server and IIS? If not, that's ok, I just want to be able to give you a good rundown on how to do it.

Thank you for your quick reply. 

Although I have been in computers for Decades I have not worked in the ASP.net environments.

I do know SQL Server pretty well (currently working with SQL Server 2008 doing data conversion from legacy applications at the real job).

I have experiance with console and dialog VB.net apps (circa.2005 minor 2008)

I have VS 2008 & 2010 on my dest top.

I have an account at GoDaddy that I hope to use with the dashCommerce application but for now I am looking into just getting it to function on my desktop.

My old web site was done with Word and html so this is a large step for me. (one I should have done years ago).

In order to run dC, you need to be able to do 2 things:

1.) Set up an IIS virtual directory and point it to the "Web" directory in dC.

2.) Create SQL Server database and assign a Login to that database.

Once you have done that, compile the application, and then go to /install/install.aspx">http://localhost/<dC>/install/install.aspx <- provided you called the virtual directory dC (you don't need the angle brackets, they are there to call your attention to it).

The installer will then navigate you through the install process.

One note, I consider the dC codebase to be Medium-Low complexity. Meaning, more Medium, but on the Low side of Medium . . . if that makes any sense .

Once you get into the code, there are some things that may may you go "hmmm", but otherwise it's fairly straight forward. BUT, if it's not, don't worry, the community will help you out.

Hope this helps.

 

Thank you for your assistance.

I have now compiled the application and attempted to access the local URL but now I am getting:

HTTP Error 500.19 - Internal Server Error

The requested page cannot be accessed because the related configuration data for the page is invalid.

 

 

and I am not sure what to do.

I am running VS2008 64bit on Win7 64bit machine
