Re: Problem installing on 2008 server 64bit and IIS7

Hi,

Which mojoPortal package did you install? The error indicates it is running under .NET 2.0/3.5. I would recommend use our package for .NET 4 and configure it with a .NET 4 application pool.

Hope that helps,

Joe

I tried your suggestion with .net 4.0 and IIS7 and I followed the instructions. This is what I am still getting:

Joe,

Also, what I changed in the user.config file was my mssql connection string and this line from sqlite to mssql:

Re: Problem installing on 2008 server 64bit and IIS7

That is the problem, you can't use that setting with MSSQL, it needs to be a connection string to a SQL Server or SQL Express database. SQLite is different because it is a file based database. So the error is because your connection string doesn't even resemble the expected format.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Problem installing on 2008 server 64bit and IIS7

Joe,

Thanks again. I think we are getting closer. I have the site in a folder on the C: drive called Intranet. In IIS i also created a site called Intranet which points to that folder.

So the url I am using on the same server that is hosting the site is:

http://localhost/Intranet/Default.aspx

Here is what I am not getting when going to that page (I am getting page not found):

Skip over navigation

- Site Map

- Search

We are sorry but we could not find the page you are looking for. Please try the Site Map.

If I click on the site map link the url it is giving me is http://localhost/SiteMap.aspx

Don't think this is right. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for your help
