Hi everyone!

Problem with installing, everything works!
I'm running MSSQL Server 2005 and IIS 5.1 on my XP workstation
I followed all the points of the install guide and tried to install 4.0.2

Now I'm getting the next error when I type http://localhost/dotnetnuke/install/install.aspx

Could not find file 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\DotNetNuke_template.mdf'.

My databasename is "nuke", my username and password are also "nuke" and I'm running it on "localhost"

This is my web.config (connectionstrings and appsettings) :

<connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=localhost;Database=nuke;uid=nuke;pwd=nuke;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
   -->
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules   -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=localhost;Database=nuke;uid=nuke;pwd=nuke;"/>
    -->
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
    <!--  Alternative Install Templates (included in package)
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="Club.install.config" />
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="Personal.install.config" />
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="SmallBusiness.install.config" />
    -->
    <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
    <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
    <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false"/>
  </appSettings>



Can someone PLEASE help me!?


Greetings Aljan

aljan, your problem is with permissions. Please review the permissions that are needed for the aspnet /network service user for that folder mentioned as inaccessible.

choerske, you need to create the db yourself per the instructions in the Installation Guide.
