I've gone back to creating new database and running install. My dotnetnuke.install config file does point to my template. But I get this error still

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

 

The only way I can load dotnetnuke is to not use my template but then in wizard the system stalls on installing. Any clues as to why.

I'll edit out my installation template and get dotnetnuke on the site. But it's no use unless I can load my installation file. I have by the way tried a second template incase this template was flaky but it still doesn't work. My internal site is very large so I don't know if that's the problem. I did edit my config file extending requestLengthDiskThreshold and maxRequestLength to 20000 but the system still doesn't finally execute and labours. I've even allowed over 30 minutes for upload but that doesn't help.

Could you please tell me if there's another way to get my orginal site information back up other than using the export/wizard feature.

thanks

You wont' get connection at all until you edit these 2 rows

<add

name="SiteSqlServer"

connectionString="Server=(local);Database=nameofdatabase;uid=userid;pwd=password;"

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=(local);Database=nameofdatabase;uid=userid;pwd=password;"/>

 

On a new installation you should get sorted out now.

Although I'm not getting passed my customerror page when I have mode changed to RemoteOnly.

OK, looks like we have two totally different issue being posted on the same thread so this is a little hard to follow, so here I go.

anotheropus

Did you see the post from "leupold"?
On your last post you show a custom error bla, bla, bla.  Have you set custom error mode="Off"?
If so and you are still seeing this screen, more that likely you have not completed one of the steps I outlined in my first post, or there is a permission issue.  Below is this info again with the addition of some permission info.

The first thing I would do when trouble shooting a .Net 2.0 web app of any king is to go into IIS to the application properties and verify you are running the application under .Net 2.0 (there is an ASP.Net tab you can use to select the desired framework version, click Apply, OK). 

Next I would create a new app pool and select it in the application properties of the DNN site if running IIS6 or set the application to High Isolation if running IIS5. The reason for this is because you cannot have two framework versions running under the same application pool.  First framework fired wins...

File Permission should be something like this:
Administrators FC
System FC
ASP.Net FC
IIS_WP FC
Network Services FC
Everyone R

instantel

OK Assuming you have your database connection correct, we need to see the error.  Have you set your custom Error mode="Off"?  If so does if give a different message, if so can you post it?  If not, please review the steps above. There is something wrong with your framework config in IIS or the Web.Config itself if you have custom errors set to Off and still get the custom errors message.

Robert.Guru,

Thank you for your diligence and generous thoroughness.

The bottom of this long post has the payoff so many of us have dreamed of. The answer to DNN install woes.

Earlier I said I rolled the dice and uninstalled everything (db incl).

I have worked with three hosts this week:

(Not counting my current about to be fired host of the last four years (WebHost4Life) they nickle and dime me to death on all of my domain names and I may one day post all of the useless help desk activities of four years of hell).


UltimaHosts.net - SUPERB service and Mark is great. Could not get subportals and respective domain names aligned after two weeks!
 - They also have a great DotNetPanel to control you sites with.
 - I left becasue I need websites up -- they're not hobbies.
 - I caught them during a migration from Plesk to DotNetPanel, new servers, so no sites, FTP or content were aligned.


HostDepartment.com - Incredibly COMPLEX reseller opportunity
 - One tech was over the top supportive on the evening I signed up.
 - Every other tech failed to support me during the next three days and nights.
 - They are the host where all the errors I've posted on this site came from.


AND FINALLY: "How to get a DotNetNuke 4 Up and Live in 10 Minutes!"

SeekDotNet.com
 - I will resell their services eventually but I don't have time right now.
 - RUN straight to them.
 - The install is AUTOMATIC on one control panel page.
 - No download/upload anything.
 - They also have one of the cleanest, easiest control panels I've used.
 - You choose MS SQL 2000 or 2005 and install and create a database all in one page and in minutes!!!!


HERE IS THE PROOF

  Sit back with a cold one as you see what it finally looks like.
