Hi

We are developing web system project (portal management - there will be grand admin (host) and admin for individual web sites). We want to install dotnetnuke at one place, add in visual source safe and individual developer will set their working folder in his machine. This is the basic setup we require to setup in our development environment. we are facing below problems

1. We have installed dotnetnuke on server / added in vss - it creates two virual folder - DotNetNuke_2 and Website - why?

2. try to setup on individual machine  (working folder)

Try to execute the application - it is not allowed us to login as host or admin

we have tried to analyze and found that membership.validateuser returns false - that is why not allowed to login us as host and admin but surprise is it allows me to create new user and login with same ...

Waiting for your response!!!!

See in detail with steps

DotNetNuke 4.02 Installations

1. Download Source from DotNetNuke Site – DotNetNuke_4.0.2_Source
2. Change Release.config – Connection string
3. Change name of the Release.Config to Web.Config
4. Create VDIR that points to website folder that inside the source folder
5. http://localhost/website/default.aspx
6. It starts installation – found okay
7. Open solution
8. Observations – Creates VDIR(S) DotNetNuke_2 & Website in IIS
9. Able to login as host, admin etc.

Till here everything is okay.

Now my requirement is – We want to develop web system (portal management) application using DotNetNuke 4.02. We want to prepare setup for development environment, where Source code will be at central place with VSS (Visual Source Safe) and each developer will create working folder in his machine.

We have tried this as well

1. Create VSS at Server and add above project in VSS
2. On Workstation side – try to create working folder and get all from server
3. It creates C:\DotNetNuke\DotNetNuke_2, C:\DotNetNuke\Library and solution file.
4. It Creates VDIR in IIS as DotNetNuke_2 – that maps to C:\DotNetNuke\DotNetNUke_2 folder
5. but it is not working – so we tried make setup as server – create new VDIR as Website and map with C:\DotNetNuke\DotNetNUke_2 folder
6. try to run the application
7. it is working file but not allowed login as HOST or ADMIN – Membership.ValidateUser return false
8. Observation – allows to create new user and login with same but it is guest account so only can view information

   Please suggest what should we do?
