Hi, All:

I spent whole week try to solve the installation problem, but there is no luck. I got the following error when I tried to make a fresh install of DNN v4.02 on my desktop.

DotNetNuke Upgrade Error
The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )

ERROR: Failed to load templetes.DotNetNuke


My configuration is:

1. Windows Server 2003 ( I am using built-in Administrator account )
2. VS.Net 2005 Standard Edition
3. SQL Server 2005 Standard Edition. ( Without SQL Express 2005 installed )

What I did is:

1. Create a DNN4 database and setup a login with dbo permission, granted this login as a user to DNN4 database, I also setup Network Service user for DNN4 database. ( I droped database and recreate it everytime I made some changes during installation)

2. Setup a Virture Folder in IIS, and add Network Service with full accesses to this fold.

3. Change two connection strings in web.config to SQL 2005 connection string as follows:

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=MYCOMPUTERNAME; Database=DNN4;uid=XXX;pwd=XXXXXX;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />


4.  Build the source code.

5. Hit Ctl+F5.

But I always got the errors above. I have been searching online for almost one week, still no solution. What can I do now? Dose anyone has same problem? Please help me out.

Thank you very much in advance!

I too struggled for a while. My setup is Win2k03, SQL 2k. My problem was I an using a named instance of SQL Server so I had to include that into ny connection string.

If you arent using the default instance you'll have to include the instance in the string.

e.g.

<add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
    connectionString="Server=SERVERNAME\SQL_INSTANCENAME;Database=DNN;uid=dnnXXX;pwd=password;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value=="Server=SERVERNAME\SQL_INSTANCENAME;Database=DNN;uid=dnnXXX;pwd=password;"/>

 

I hope that helps.

Thank you very much! I soloved the problem by using "DotNetNuke.install.config" as "InstallTemplate". The comments here is misleading. I used "SmallBusiness.install.config" as Alternative Install Templates ( I commented out all others.

But I always got the error messages above. Now I changed it back to default setting, then the installation is completely successful.

Thanks again!
