I see mostly everyone trying to install 4.0.2 and SQL Server Express gets the same error failed to find dotnetnuke_template.mdf.
I have now spent a good number of evenings trying to work this out, without success however this is where I am - can anyone help.
I too found the dotnetnuke_template.mdf file on google downloaded it and it then through another error - I copied siteurls.condif from config to root and it then allowed me to install. I use the following to install
Install/Install.aspx?mode=Install
Everything looked to be going OK, however when I then went into the portal I had loads of error messages saying missing stoired procedures. When I looked at the database it was empty.It has no tables. ie the install failed.
so i removed everything recreated the database copied all the files down again. and this time it didnt like me having the template file present. When I removed it and copied the siteURLs.config file, again it looked like the install was working. However again no tables were created
One other point - how many places in web.config are we supposed to update. There seems to be two places
<SectionGroup name="dotnetnuke"> and <connectionStrings> I did both but am wondering if that is cirrect
Please can someone spread some light on this. BTW - installing 3.0 was easy !
I copied the SiteURLs.config file from config to root
