Trying manual install of DNN 6.2.2 Community Edition. Got the installation wizard running, it even finds the database and then it only throws this message:

Installing Database - Version 06.00.00...FAILURE ERROR: See C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dnn\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\06.00.00.log.resources for more information

But that logfile doesn't exist! And that first (06.00.00) bunch of TSQL statements seem to have been executed, because the database contains lots of tables and some views. So instead of crashing with that useless errormessage, the wizard should just continue with the other scripts (06.00.01...and so on), but it doesn't:(

Web-Installer is not an option, because it's relying on the sql express, while I do have a mssql2008r2 standard and want to use that one.

Here's my environment and what I have tried so far (always with the same result): Using DefaultAppPool or a self-created one, setting it to .net 2.0 or 4.0, using a seperate SQL login (mapped as dbo) or just the "sa", creating the empty DB as collation "Latin1_General_CI_AS" or "Latin1_General_CS_AS",...nothing helps:(  Server is a Win2008R2 64-Bit standard english. SQL is a mssql2008r2 64-bit standard english. Would appreciate any help to get that thing running... And yes, I unblocked the downloaded zip before extracting it;)

Please check if you enabled the dbOwner for the db user you have create for your database, and check the standard schema of the db user who connect to the database.

Be sure you have full permissions for the application pool user, you have set both connection strings on the web.config file, and you have set your standard database schema as your databaseOwner on your web.config file.

Also be sure your IISUsers have read permission.

--> Checked. The SQL user is mapped to that DB and is db_owner of that DB and has the role-schema "dbo" for that DB.

Be sure you have full permissions for the application pool user,

--> Checked. (actually not "full permission", but "modify" - as described in all those video-tutorials)

you have set both connection strings on the web.config file,

--> Do I have to set these manually in the web.config before starting the installation wizard?

and you have set your standard database schema as your databaseOwner on your web.config file.

--> I didn't understand that one. Could you please explain? My SQL user is "dnnusr" and he is dbo of the DB named "DNNDB".

Also be sure your IISUsers have read permission.

--> Checked.

 

 Thanks for the hints. Still same error, unfortunately (see my comments above).

Ok. Found a logfile in that folder, found some errors of TSQL-Scripts not being able to create some stored procedures (like "invalid column name"...). So I completely uninstalled SQL (Full version) and then installed DNN through the web platform installer. Now DNN works, but I only have sqlexpress. I noticed it also installed the "SQL Server Replication" feature (while my sql full version has been installed without it, maybe that was my initial problem? does DNN need the sql server replication feature?).

I had to install SQL Management Studio Express manually, went ok. But now I miss the "SQL Reporting Services". Is there a way to upgrade this sqlexpress edition to "my" SQL Standard Edition now? (even if it will keep the instance name "SQLEXPRESS") and add the "SQL Reporting Services" then? Or is there a way to add the SQL Reporting Services to this now existing sqlexpress instance?

Thanks in advance.

SQL Replication service is not needed for DNN. 

As I know it is posible to upgrade the exypress instance to a higher instance using the upgrade feature of the SQL Server install Wizard.  Basicly I think the Full version wasn't configured right, or there was any missed on the web.config file.  I know of some issues on DNN 6.2.x with missing databaseOwner proberties  on the T-SQL scripts.  Bit this makes only issues if you don't use dbo as the standard Schema of your database Login.
