Hi,

I’m trying to use WPI to set up a new Mojo Portal web site but once the files have downloaded it asks me for database information:

Create new database, from the drop down box
Database Administrator: ****
Database Administrator Password: ****
Database Username: ****
Database Password: ****
Database Server: .\SQL Express
Database Name: ****

I have no idea what I should put in these fields, anything I put in them is incorrect!!! If it is creating a new database then I should be able to call it anything i like???
 

I did see a post saying that at this stage it’ not creating a database, that happens after installation via /Setup/Default.aspx. If so why is it asking me at this point.

Chan someone please fill the gaps for me.

BTW if don’t have a password for sa in this instance.

Operating system: windows 7 Enterprise
SQL Server Express 2008
The latest version of Mojo Portal downloaded today.

Cheers,

Mike.

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your help. I was still unable to install via WPI, I had to download the latest and greatest versions of SQL server and Management tools to get to the bottom of the sa password issue I was having, I then did a manual install following the Video tutorial and it all worked in VS.

But... The settings I had to install have taken over localhost and I can’t view any of my other  websites locally. Not good!

At the end of the video, it said the site had to be in the root directory so that it would run when published online, how does that work, I have around 100 website in folders in localhost. Ive installed motoportal in localhost/VnGuest. If I try to run any of my websites including mojoportal, IIS 7.5 gives me an error and says the problem is in the web.config file of mojoportal, probably because mojoportal is not in the root directory, which is not an option anyway.

Please Help,

Mike.
 

Thanks Joe,

Not really what I want to do but during my CMS endeavour I was able to learn some valuable lessons in .NET, SQL Server and IIS.

I started playing around with DotNetNuke on Saturday then moved to MojoPortal on Monday afternoon, it’s now Wednesday morning and my conclusion remains the same. As an owner of my own business and therefore having to have coded in every language on every platform I can think of, for me Custom code wins out hands down. If the client wants to update text, I just tell them to get a version of Dreamweaver and do it that way of build my own basic CMS.

But not all a time waster as I said, I have learnt some valuable stuff.

Thanks again and moving on,

Mike.
