Hi everybody,
i have tried to install the install package of DotNetNuke in two PCs both running MS WinxXP Pro and IIS 5.1.
Since i'm kinda new to both managing IIS and a SQL server DB (indeed that will be a good occasion to start learning about that),i have looked for some help,and i have found two different ways to do that.Both requires to correctly set up IIS,but they are different in some other steps.
1)This way implies the creation of a database,of a user and modifying te connection string in the web.config file.
2)this other way (simpler) doesnt minimally touch SQL server,but it made me modify the protection settings for the folder in which i unzipped the package's contents,adding two users with full control over it (ASPNET and NETWORK SERVICE users).
Why are there these differences?
Besides,i have first tried the 1) procedure in my home PC,then tried the 2),but i cant install DotNetNuke,since i'm continuosly asked for the user name and password.
Instead,in the other PC i have only applied procedure 2) and it seems to work.So i went back to my home PC,changing the root folder for my sire and re-unzipping the package contents into this new folder,and following the 2) steps,but i continue to be prompted for user name and password...
Please note that in my home PC i am running SQL server 2005,while in the other one i'm running SQL Server 2005 Express.
Why do i continue to be prompted for those? I have tried to modify the connection string but it didnt work
Thanks in advance! Best regards :)
