2.8 Fresh Install - Admin Links don't work

Yes, Asp.Net 4.0 classic uses .Net 4.0 framework and 4.0 integrated uses .Net 4.5 framework ;)

I just downloaded 2.80 and installed without any problems.  However, I'm having the same issue when running locally using Visual Studio 2012. (.Net 4.5 is installed)  When I click the Administration link (http://localhost:2619/admin), it redirects back to the home page (http://localhost:2619/).   Thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

Please disgregard the above... it just started working.

I have the same problem.

What causes the problem is that VS does not build the Nop.Admin project. Therefore the AreaRegistration.RegistrtAllArea() in the Global.asax/Application_start() cannot find the admin area definition.

The solution is to to manually do so (right click Nop.Admin project and select build).

This will publish the Nop.Admin.Dll in the bin folder and will enable the admin area registration.

When admin link does not work, please try to do what i did:

Clean ALL bin folders in every project of nop. Sometimes the clean solution does not do the job for some reason and leaves old compiled dlls - so you should delete it manually.

The second step - is to clean Temporary ASP.NET Files folder on your computer.

After that rebuld your solution - the link should start to work.

Just rebuild the solution as mentioned above, and it will work.

Changing asp.net 4.0 classic to asp.net 4.0 integrated did the trick for us. We were also facing the same issue.

I have to install nopcommerce 2.8 but confuse in software requirment because there are so many kinds of sql server 2008 versions and iis versions.plz send me link for required software.

I had to change the "Use Custom Web Server" option under Nop.Admin project properties/web/Servers from "https://www.nopcommerce.com/" to my localhost or IIS path.

Could someone please inform me how I would go about building nop.admin on a shared environment.

I use a web host, and only have FTP/web access

Thanks
