Page cannot be found

Hello peepz,

Anyways, need some help. I managed to put the whole web folder in the IIS server. Then when I try to open the page, it is an error page indicating the page cannot be found. I have created the database called mojoportal in my MS SQL as well as username mojouser and password mojo1234. I am not sure whether I need to do any configuration or tweaking in order to get the portal to work. Help?

Regards,
Farah K.

Hi Farah

After copy content of web folder to your web folder on your IIS, run setup by following links:

http://yourdomain/setup/default.aspx

Hi Farah,

Its not just a matter of copying files. you must configure IIS for a site or a virtual directory. Please see the documentation here. I plan to make a little training video to show how to configure IIS when I get a chance.

Best,

Joe

Re: Page cannot be found

Cant seem to get anything working...I will try to tell you all what exactly I did and tell me where I have gone wrong:-

1. I create a new website folder in the IIS and pointed it at the web folder of the installation folder I downloaded from mojoportal.com
2. I created a database on MS SQL called 'mojoportal' and created a user 'mojouser' with password 'mojo123'
3. I checked 'Replace permission on all child objects...' in the Advanced Security Settings for Data
4. I  navigate and browse myself to the mojoportal/setup/default.aspx

Result : Page error 404

Am I supposed to change anything in the webconfig file? I even went to the extend of let me do directory browsing but it keeps showing me page error even though I rename default.aspx. Help!

Regards,
Farah K.

Re: Page cannot be found

Does Internet Explorer's Enhanced Security Configuration affect mojoportal installation? Because everytime I try to load a page from mojoportal installation that prompt appears first followed by the page error.

Re: Page cannot be found

Hi Farah,

Any prompt for login that pops up a window is from IIS and is caused by the security configuration. On the Directory Security tab for the site or virtual directory in IIS you should click the Edit button then check both Anonymous and integrated Windows (and nothing else). There should also be a tab in IIS for ASP.NET, where you would specify which version of .NET to use, in this case you would choose the 2.0... version. However, if you don't see this tab, it probably means that IIS was installed on the machine after .NET was installed and therefore IIS did not get configured to use ASP.NET. In this case you need to run a command lind tool to configure IIS for use with ASP.NET. google for aspnetregiis to learn about this command line tool and how to use it. After that the ASP.NET tab should appear.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Page cannot be found

Dear Joe,

It was not actually the login prompt that keep poping out, it was simply a information prompt that indicated that Internet Explorer has Enhanced Security which can be configured to our needs. Anyways, I checked everything you have ask me to do and it still result in a page error. This are some of the observations:-

i. When I clicked on the web.config files and try to view the ASP configuration, an error prompt containing the following appears:-

An error has occured attempted to read the configuration.
The error message is:
Index was outside the bounds of the array
Stack Trace:
at Microsoft.Aspnet.Snapin.ConfigSetting..ctor(String VirtDir, String Machine, String site, String siteName, String location, Int32 processID, Boolean
        AllowOpenAtSameLevel)
at Microsoft.Aspnet.Snapin.ConfigSetting..ctor(String VirtDir, String Machine, String site, String siteName, String location, Int32 processID)
at Microsoft.Aspnet.Snapin.AspNetMAnagementUtility.DisplayAspNetConfigSettings(String machineName, String site, String virtualDirectory, String siteName, String location, Int32 processID, String &exception)

I do no encounter this error when I click onto other config files.

ii. I noticed that in the connection string manager:

Subsonic-MSSQL Server > server=(local);UID = sa;PWD = foo; database=ztest1

Do I can to reconfigure this? Do I have to create ztest1 databse?

 

I thank you in advance for being patient with me. I really want to deploy mojoportal to my end-users as the user interface is simple to be used and maintained by my end-users themselves.

Regards,
Farah K.

Re: Page cannot be found

Hi Farah,

First I would say don't use IIS or any web page or tools it provides to edit the Web.config file. It may or may not have issues with mojoPortal, I don't know because I don't use it and therefore can't help you much if you are using that tool. Web.config is just a text file it can be edited with notepad and has comments in it about a lot of the settings which you may not be seeing using this tool. See the Web.config documentation  for information that may help.

Also, if you continue to have trouble, please tell more about your environment:

What operating System?

What version of IIS?

What version of MS SQL?

You do not need to create any database with a specific name, it can be named whatever you like so long as the connection string is good and it has permission to create database objects like tables, procedures etc. You do not need to set that SubSonic connection string, if you were actually reading the Web.config file instead of using this tool you would see comments telling you that you don't need to set it.

Best,

Joe
