Re: Installation Error

I would try uploading the web.config file again, maybe it got corrupted during upload, make sure you use the one that came with the release.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Installation Error

Thanks Joe, I'll give that a whirl - never thought to try that to be honest.

Many thanks

Re: Installation Error

Hi Joe

Ok, so i uploaded a new config file and got a bizarre error. So, the error I get now is the following:

Welcome to mojoPortal Setup

Probing system...
File system permissions problems found.
An Error Occurred:Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Inetpub\vhosts\hickton.co.uk\httpdocs\Data\Sites\1\systemfiles\test.config'.

Any thoughts appreciated as ever.

Many thanks

Re: Installation Error

Here wo go:

This line in web.config causes an error

there's nothing in user.config that has been added otehr than connection parameters.

When I change it to:

everything works, albeit without the connection to the database - but as I say it does solve the error and gets to the mojoPortal screen...

Thanks

Re: Installation Error

If removing the user.config from the appSettings element solved an error it means there is some kind of typo in user.config that is causing an error. I would try to find and fix that problem then put the attribute back, otherwise you have to keep all settings in web.config

For the file system error makes sure all segments of the path exist, ie does /Data/Sites/1 folder exist? does /Data/Sites/1/systemfiles?

Create any folders if they are missing.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Installation Error

Be careful how you add it back. The most common type of mistake that can break web.config is incorrect use of comment syntax (either in web.config or user.config), ie if you wrap a comment around an area that already has a comment you will break it.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Installation Error

Note also that the line number reported can be incorrect and misleading when using a user.config file it is combining that file together with web.config so the line numbers it sees at that point are not in sync exactly with line numbers in web.config alone. So take the line number with a large grain of salt when looking for the problem.

Re: Installation Error

Sorry Joe I don't follow? I've not touched anything - i've literally just added connection string details...

Thanks
