Hi.

4.8.4 Install package downloaded, uploaded to my hosted server.

Running Medium Thrust on .net 2.0.50727

So I used development.config as the manual says when running Medium Thrust.

Put in my MsSql info in the commented section and uncommented it (in two places)

As read on my hosting company site i have to use my DB user instead of dbo, so I did. (4.x is confirmed to run on their servers)

Everything else is untouched.

Call my site and get :

Source Error:

Well, strange things do happend.

I went totally back to basic.

Deleted the sub domain, deleted the database.

Set everything up again on the host.

Uploaded clean install without any alteration to .config files or anything else.

Called the site in web browser, and followed the guide.

I then choose to use the "dbo" account for the db connection, not the Db User account as statet on my hosting company web site. (DB User account will spin into the never ending loading/install of the site)

I did not click "Test database Connection" as i then get errors that tables already exist later on.

Site loaded, and everything is working as it should.

Strangely when i edited the .config files manually, i also tried the default "dbo" account, but that got me into other troubles....can't remember which as i had a ton of troubles *LOL*
