Hosted Configuration:
Hosted Webserver and SQL2000 servers.
(I had to have Techsupport add the DBOwner rights to my dbuser account.)
Goal:
Install a fresh "NEW" clean install of DNN 4.8.1
Tasks undertaken so far:
I have downloaded the install package of 4.8.1, ftp'd all install files to my hosted website root folder. Configured the web.config file to reflect the MSSQL2000 (not Express version) connection settings, also I configured the <appSettings> section as well (should I have done this?).
I verified that my sql user account has DBO access to the db.
Browsed to the website "www.mysite.com", the Install Wizard started just fine, checked the folder permissions were good, checked that the DB connections settings we good as well.
When the Database Install Scripts started to execute I recieved the following error message:
Installing Database - Version 4.4.0...Upgrading Database to Version ERROR: See F:\***website location on hosted server****\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\04.04.00.log for more information...FAILURE 400 - Conversion from string "ERROR: See F:\*****website location on hosted server**** " to type 'Integer' is not valid.
However the 04.04.00.log file does not exist.
The wizard sits there for hours, finally I browsed to my website url agian "www.mysite.com" and the Upgrade continued. Why it was "Upgrading" I do not know. This completed successfully.
I clicked on the "Click Here to Access Your Portal", this redirects my browser to my website "www.mysite.com/Default.aspx".
However my site errors our saying:
DotNetNuke Error: - Version 04.08.01
Domain Name 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:
So here is what I am struggling with:
1. Why did the database install scripts blow up?
2. How do I fix the database install scripts?
3. Why is my domain name not in the DB?
4. How do I get my domain in the DB?
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
