Hello, i have been dis-heartened DNN for about a while now, since my DNN based site response was unacceptably slow... a recent "second chance" for DNN met with more failure, due to the installation for 04.05.00 and 04.06.00
OK, i have now uploaded a clean install with 04.06.02 and was met with failure at the database install stage. After landing up on this thread again, i have implemented Alpha Zero's method above... i done it exactly as stated apart from the Auto Install (legacy method) some how picked up the variable "dnn_" that i wanted to prefix the database table names with... from a previous attempt. (example of the table name is dnn_Version)
Just for example, previous failed auto installs write the table names with no prefix.
(I am not sure if there are any clues there for those on the installaion project?)
I have noticed the only install wizard summary error was:
00:00:00.093 - Executing Script: DotNetNuke.Schema.SqlDataProvider Error! (see DotNetNuke.Schema.log for more information)
doubtless this will cause issues later ?
Anyway the DNN install for 04.06.02 appears to working ok, apart from i have not got the "Host" tab on the default website, maybe because i have installed the site in the sub directory /dnn. [a side note], Do i need to set the "HostHeader" attribute? to www.myrealdomainName.com/dnn/
