I want to install dotnetnuke on my local development box to open in Visual Studio 2008.
I downloaded the DNN5 beta version. Unzipped into DNN5 directory.
I installed IIS6. Setup a Virtual Directory to DNN5 directory.
I clicked the DotNetNuke_VS2008.sln solution to open in my Visual Studio 2008.
It pops up a message:
"The site 'http://localhost/DotNetNuke_Cambrian' has not been configured for use with ASP.NET 2.0. Microsoft Visual Studio has been designed foruse with ASP.NET 2.0; if not configured some features may make incorrection assumpts....
Would you like the site to be configured now?"
I wanted to use framework 3.5 since my server is a windows 2008 web server and IIS7 and my database is a sql server 2008, so I'm unsure why it says it must be configured for 2.0.
Meanwhile, saying yes or cancel does no good. I can't even get it to work with 2.0 framework.
For yes, I get this popup:
"Configuring web site ... for asp.net 2.0 failed. You must manually configure this site for asp.net 2.0 in order for the site to run correctly."
So how do I use this project with 3.5 and windows 2008, sql server 2008 and VS 2008 (SP1).
I should add, I've never setup a "project" before with allthe folders for the httpmodules, providers, etc., but I have created and deployed numerous web sites.
thanks.
