Hi all.
I have downloaded nopCommerce 1.40 and am trying to install it onto a windows XP pc (this will be used as a localhost machine whilst I have play with nopCommerce), running IIS5.1 and ASP.Net 3.5 service pack 1.
I also have SQL server 2005 express edition. I did have SQL Server 2008 installed but as I could not get nopCommerce installed using that I removed SLQ 2008 and reinstalled 2005.
I have put all the nopCommerce files into a folder within the www directory and created a virtual directory in IIS pointing to the said folder.
When I try to install nopCommerce using "http://localhost/shop/install/install.aspx" the first error I get is,
"The TOWER\ASPNET account is not granted with Modify permission on folder C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\shop\.
Although this is not an error, it's highly recommended that you configure these permissions."
TOWER is the name of my PC. I have checked the permissions and I do have Read, Write Execute, set up.
I then click the "Skip" button to get to the next screen.
Then I choose windows authentication, the go on to the next page which asks if I would like to Create A New
Database or an exisitng one. I chose to use an exisiting one called nopShop, also I checked "Create sample
data" then clicked Next.
I then get this error
"An error occured: Cannot open database "nopShop" requested by the login. The login failed.
Login failed for user 'TOWER\ASPNET'.
Running scripts from file: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\shop\install\Scripts\nopCommerce_createDatabase.sql"
I have tried endless times to change permissions in IIS and SQL server but I seem to be going round in circles. Any advice would be appreciated.
Regards
Peter
