DNN 5.1.4 Intallation issue

In a new/clean install of DNN 5.1.4, where IIS and SQL servers are located on different boxes, while executing Installation Wizard I got the following error:

Installing Database - Version 05.00.00...FAILURE 400 - The stored procedure 'DNNuser.UpdateDatabaseVersionAndName' doesn't exist.

Till this point the installation when without a glitch.

Any suggestion about the cause and possible solution?

Re: DNN 5.1.4 Intallation issue

most likely there are issues accessing the database.

make sure the sql server is configured for remote connections and the database user has owner permission for the database.

to continue, drop the database and recreate a blank new one with same name (and permissions granted).

Thank you for your help - I followed your suggestions and it worked.

However I got in to new trouble while installing the standard modules. The error pages is as follows:

Thread was being aborted.

Exception Details: System.Threading.ThreadAbortException: Thread was being aborted.

Any hint will be very helpful :)

And what should I do at this point ? See the message below:

Re: DNN 5.1.4 Intallation issue

Chris,

do NOT try to install all modules at once, only those which are needed. you can easily install additional modules later.

Skip the large modules during install, like Forums, Repository, Blog, Events.
