Hi

I have built a multi blog website using dnn version 5.01 in my pc. Now i want to move this website to my ftp domain and run as well as modify it from online.

I moved the website database mdf file to private folder of my ftp and complete website files including web config to www folder of my ftp. In the web config file, using the following code i am refering to database file located in private folder of my ftp.

 

 

<connectionStrings>
<add
name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=C:\Home\g\i\gingerflorist\private\DotNetNukePortal.mdf; providerName=System.Data.SqlClient"/>
</connectionStrings>     
 
But when i run the default aspx file,  i face following error:
 
Custom error tag related error coming in web config which says that mode of custom error tag should be "off" and after changing suggested solution in that error, some irrelavant error "Page that u want to view may not exist or renamed". But that page exists in ftp and it's name has not been changed.
 

Any suggestions or solution.pls reply.

Thanks,

Swaminathan.T

Try putting the database files into the App_Data folder and change the connectionsstring to the one below, if it is a SQLExpress database;

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|DotNetNukePortal.mdf;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True" />

That should solve the problem if Your host allows SQLExpress databases, there could be a problem with permissions between the website and Your private folder..... and then there is the problem with FTP domain... I really hope it is a http service You are using... and that You use FTP to upload the site to your webserver....  ftp is a totally different kind of servics...

The connection string has to match the web host's requirements for your database.  Check with them to see what they support and how.
