5.  DNN attempted to install, but hit this error:

Could not find file 'd:\hosting\mysite\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\DotNetNuke_template.mdf'.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.IO.FileNotFoundException: Could not find file 'd:\hosting\mysite\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\DotNetNuke_template.mdf'.

6.  Here is a copy of my connectionString:

<connectionStrings>

<add

name="SiteSqlServer"

connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"

providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

connectionStrings>

<appSettings>

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>

Note:  Last line is one continuous line ...  not broken in web.config ... and I have checked and checked again the DB name, uid, and pwd ... 

 

7.  Can anyone see a problem with my connection string or is the cause of the problem because I am attempting set DNN up in the root directory?  Patrick, is this the same error you receive when you attempt to load DNN 4.02 to the root directory?

 

Ackeis

Your Connection string is incorrect.  Please use this connection string and replace the indicated area's with the proper values:

<connectionStrings>

<add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Enter_Server_Urn;Database=Enter_Database_Name;uid=Enter_UserId;pwd=Enter_Password;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

</connectionStrings>

<appSettings>

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=Enter_Server_Urn;Database=Enter_Database_Name;uid=Enter_UserId;pwd=Enter_Password;" />

</appSettings>

I'm getting the distinct impression that there's some rule of the universe that says that you have to spend a day messing with this before it works, even with all the good info that everyone else has posted.  I've followed all Michael's instructions, created the DB, updated web.config, copied SiteUrls.config to the top, uploaded all the files, and still get the dreaded msg:

DotNetNuke Configuration Error

Could not find a part of the path 'd:\hosting\gophervillage\Config\Backup_20062131442\web_.config'.Access to the path 'd:\hosting\gophervillage\web.config' is denied.Access to the path 'd:\hosting\gophervillage\SiteUrls.config' is denied

I have no way of verifying if "d:\hosting\" is reasonable, but gophervillage is indeed my username and the files are there.  The DNN files seem to be in the right place because it does respond to the URL by attempting to run.

Any ideas?  Is there some way that uploading the DNN files with FTP is setting the wrong permissions on something?

Further to my last post, I did discover that if I use the Hosting Manager to create the Config directory with Read/Write/Web permission, the first message goes away, but I'm still stuck with the web.config & siteurls.config msgs.  I can't see how I can change permissions on these.

Are you upgrading a previous DotNetNuke site or do a install?  If you are doing a clean install there should be no need for the creation of the back folders. 

You can also create a fourth virtual directory in your hosting called Config and give it read and write permissions, make sure to spell the directory exactly as it is spelt in the file structure "Config".  It should not need web or browse permissions.  The permissions will be applied to the existing folder; this should solve your issue.

I am ready to ftp my DNN to my “root” directory and I am confused with where to ftp to.  Under my “root” GoDaddy I have the following folders/files:

 

Folders:

Bin

Desktopmodules

Portals

Stats

 

Do I copy each of DNN’s folders and files to the “root” above?

 

So I copy (from my hard drive):

Admin

App_code

…

Bin

…

Components

…

Providers

403-3.GIF

…

Web.CONFIG

 

(Please note the conflicting folders “bin”.  Do I copy the contents from my hard drive ftp’ed to the bin folder on GoDaddy?

 

OR OR OR OR OR

 

Do I do somehow create a magical “\rootfile”; where rootfile might be the user name I supplied when setting up the GoDaddy site like PerryM. 

 

So do I set up a “/PerryM” directory and copy all the DNN files into that directory?

 

Thanks, hopefully I’m not the only confused neophyte struggling thru this confusing/convoluting installation process.

 

I love DNN just hate the installation process which reminds me of the 1980’s machine coding of my IMSI Heath Kit PC.  (I personally would rather punch in hex code than slog thru this installation process for the rest of the week).

 

Thanks for any help rendered – I appreciate your suggestions/help.

Hello Perry,

You need to copy all the DotNetNuke files and folders to the webfolder where you setup the Bin, DesktopModules and Portals folders.  If your username is PerryM then this folder will most likely be /PerryM.

Your FTP program should automatically place the items from your bin folder into the Bin folder.  The capitalization of the folder shouldn't affect anything.  You do not need to create any other folders, this will be done by the FTP program as it uploads the files and folders.
