Installing

I keep getting this message:

DotNetNuke Error: - Version 04.08.00

Domain Name www.thompsonjohn.com Does Not Exist In The Database

DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process:

Web Server Processing
- When a web server receives a Request from a client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS.
- Based on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ).
- The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest.
HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb )
- The Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character
- A Domain Name is constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments.
  
  Examples:
  
  URL: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com
  URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131
  URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name: localhost/DotNetNuke
  URL: http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/virtualdirectory
  URL: http://www.domain.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/directory
- Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( PortalAlias table - HTTPAlias field ) to locate a matching record.
  
  Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same portal then you can add multiple records to the PortalAlias table pointing to the same portal (PortalId).
  
  Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you must modify the HTTPAlias field value for the default record in the PortalAlias table according to the rules defined above.

Re: Installing

I ran the install and now what? I go to the site and get this error page and it makes me think I did something wrong.

I thought that when I went to my website it would bring up some sort of "Welcome" page and let me set the site up.

I guess my question is how do I set up my site? Were do I go from here?

Thanks.

Re: Installing

How did you install this? With the normal installation this would be set up.

Re: Installing

I installed once before I had a sql database. So I deleted all the files on my site and reloaded them to the site after purchasing a sql database from the provider.

Then I typed in www.thompsonjohn.com/install/install?mode=install and I got nothing but Done at the bottom where the status is. I was not quite sure why it didn't ask me some questions about the install. Now I am stuck. How do I reinstall. What do I tell my host site?

Thanks
