Hi everybody,

   I just unpacked the Source Package, and create a DotNetNuke Website project, what's next? There are errors like in Default.aspx.

1. Element 'Form' is not a known element. It points to this piece of code...

    Code:

    <dnn:Form id="Form" runat="server" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" style="”height: 100%;">

<asp:Label ID="SkinError" runat="server" CssClass="NormalRed" Visible="False"></asp:Label>

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="SkinPlaceHolder" runat="server" />

<input id="ScrollTop" runat="server" name="ScrollTop" type="hidden">

<input id="__dnnVariable" runat="server" name="__dnnVariable" type="hidden">

</dnn:Form>

2. Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp'.

   Code:

    <asp:placeholder id="CSS" runat="server"></asp:placeholder>

3. When I click to view the Design part of default.aspx.

   Error creating control -Form   

Unable to cast object from type 'System.Web.UI.Design.IntrinsicControlDesigner' to type 'System.Web.UI.Design.ControlDesigner'. 

4. Others more.

 

Can anyone tell me what to do?

After this, which document pdf or links should I start reading to be able to use dotnetnuke?

Another thing, I like to use the default sql 2000 database and like to use created database and not "dotnetnuke" database which is to be created. Is that ok?

Thanks in advance.

If you entend to develop things for DNN, you should use the DNN source package, otherwise, if you only entend to use DNN, then i'd recomend the insall package.

As for the installation, DNN package only need to be unzipped then used. If you use the source package, you only need to run the Visual Studio solution which is in the root of the zip-file. No project need to be created. If you use the install package, you only need to set virutal directory or a website that points to your unziped folder.

When you unzip the package, you'll get a release.config file in the base website folder. You have to rename that file to web.config and edit it to specify the DB parameters.

For the database:

To my knowledge, DNN uses only SQL Server, and you can use the version you prefer. On first start, DNN will create its tables in the database you specified.

For further information, you should download the Documentation package and read the installation guide pdf file that it contains.

Thanks for the reply, Availlancourt.

I tried to use dotnetnuke, so install source package, Is install package is also in source package. I have set
virtual directory to where the dotnetnuke\website is located and rename the release.config to web.config. Now I
am getting this error telling Assembly number does not match Database version, try to open default.aspx in a
browser. Where is the source of error and how can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

Installation Resolved..Now testing creating portals. What is difference of using Admin and Host in creating website or portals? Aside from documents (pdf) files, is there other sources where I could learn how to create website and portal using DotNetNuke and how to change codes of DotNetNuke?

I tried using DotNetNuke where I select a Personal Website template, in the Photos, this error appears, after I add a Gallery module on the right side pane of this page.

A critical error has occurred.
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What does this means, where is source of error? Anybody? Thanks.
