Hi

I've followed the dnn 7 installation videos to make a single server install. The only slight deviation I made was to create a database up front as demonstrated in the video. I'm using SQL Server Express rather than the full-fat SQL Server, but I followed the install for full fat SQL Server. I did this because I don't understand the conventional way of using SQL Sever Express, when I try to attach to the MDF file from SSMS it tells me that it's locked - even after stopping IIS!

Anyhow,  for my first installation using the dnndev.me domain everything worked great.

I then tried to repeat the installation but this time using a real domain - you can see it at www.rotherweb.co.uk. The problem is that the site always gets redirected to the page gettingstarted.aspx. 

Could anyone please help?

Thanks in advance

Rob.

Now that I think about it, I saw this yesterday, but here's how I recreated it.

I performed an installation using the files that I used for a prior installation. Meaning that most of the extensions and packages were already installed, and thus no longer available.

Any chance you did that? Or did you try a fresh install with a fresh extraction of the INSTALL package?

I deleted the database again and went back to the base install files again and re-ran the installer wizard and got the exact same result. I am using SQL Developer Edition 10.0.5500 instead of SQLExpress. Very frustrating.
