Hi, I was building another test website based on 4.0.2 using Visual Web Developer.
The welcome.html file we see half way through the install says:
DotNetNuke installations use a template to determine what content gets loaded when the site is first created.
There are 4 templates available
Under normal circumstances you do not need to do anything ( the site will install using the default template ),
but if you would like to install based on one of the alternate templates, or would
like more information on templates see Configuring the Install Template.
If you click the 'Configuring The Install Template" link you arrive at a page which says:
This section includes more detailed information on how to configure the install template
for DotNetNuke.
1. .
Back to Welcome page.
...well so much for configuring. So I edited web.config and changed it to:
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="Club.install.config" />
<!-- Alternative Install Templates (included in package)
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="Personal.install.config" />
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="SmallBusiness.install.config" />
(I have swapped "DotNetNuke.install.config" with the default "Club.install.config")
If I build this it fails with a message
The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database
Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )
Failed to load Install template.
A quick file search confirms the install template does not exists anywhere on my hard disk. I also notice that when you create a portal it give you the option to say 'Create a club Portal' - or at least words to that effect.
I suspect that the 'Clubbing' has moved with V4 from DNN install to Portal creation. This is just a suspicion as I have never used V3--.
Can someone confirm if I am right, wrong or somewhere in the middle.
And one last thing - that message
The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database
Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] ) has confused a number of people, myself included. It normally means that the connectionstring is wrong. How do I ask the for the message to be changed to be less misleading.
Many Thanks - Paul Cotter
