Re: The type initializer for 'mojoPortal.Data.DBPortal' threw an exception.

Hi,

Make sure you have installed .NET 3.5 SP1 on the server.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=ab99342f-5d1a-413d-8319-81da479ab0d7&displaylang=en

Make sure you are using the mojoportal-2-3-0-4-b-mssql-deploymentfiles.zip, the platform installer does not work with the -sourcecode.zip

To use the -sourcecode.zip you need Visual Studio 2008 SP 1 or Visual Web Developer Express 2008 SP1 to be able to compile the solution before using it.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Had ASP.NET installed, but it seems the serverice wasn't running. I turned it on and started from scratch with the deployment as you suggested and I'm good to go.

Thanks for the help! I'm sure I'll be back. :)
