I'm trying to install a new version of DNN via WebDevExpress. I've installed SQLExpress, enabled TCP/IP on it, and created a database called "d2".
I then created a new DNN website (via WebDevExpress). I modified the connectionAfter doing a build and trying to run the website, I get the error below:
DotNetNuke Upgrade Error
The Assembly Version ( [ASSEMBLYVERSION] ) does not match the Database Version ( [DATABASEVERSION] )
ERROR: Could not connect to database.
Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.
It's very strange, because I am NOT upgrading at all, I'm trying to get the darn thing to run for the first time.
To eliminate permission problems, I've given have that virtual IIS directory permission of my Administrator account. Did the same thing at the NTFS level also. Also strange is that intemittently another error is reported:
Could not find file 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dnn\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\DotNetNuke_template.mdf'
There is no such MDF is the directory mentioned in the error, but then again, since I used WebDevExpress2005 to install the DNN website, I would have thought it would put all necessary files in place.
This is really disappointing, I expect much more quality from Microsoft tools. Anyone know the solution? I've tried several times in different virtual directories, each time with identical results.
