Partial Trust

Hi,
you should make nopCommerce to be able to run in a partial trust (the usual webhosting configuration).
It is quite easy:

-add <trust level="Medium"/> to the system.web part of web.config

(the solution won't build because of the Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging.Configuration.Design.dll library)

-remove the reference to Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.ExceptionHandling.Logging.Configuration.Design.dll from Libraries/Nop.DataAccess.SqlServer since it is not needed.

(the solution now should build - if it does not, remove the dll from the NopCommerceWeb/Build folder)
(although the solution builds, it won't start because of the requirePermission issue)

-in the web.config file, add requirePermission="false" to all Nop commerce configSections as follows:

    <section name="NopConfig" type="NopSolutions.NopCommerce.Common.Configuration.NopConfig, Nop.Common" requirePermission="false"/>
    <section name="urlrewritingnet" requirePermission="false"  type="UrlRewritingNet.Configuration.UrlRewriteSection, UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter"/>

Enjoy NopCommerce in partial trust!

PS. Do not forget to remove the <trust level="Medium"/> line from web.config before uploading to a partial trust hosting environment.

Thanks! It will be fixed in the next release

Hello gius,

It looks like I am having this problem. I followed your steps, build the new version and uploaded via FTP, but I can't make it run. This is the error I am getting.

[quote]Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

The error is pointed in "red" exactly at line 128.

Can you tell me what I am doing wrong?

Thanks in advance
P.S. Are there any demo sites availabe?

Sorry, my mistake - the row

<trust level="Medium"/>

should be removed before uploading to the hosting environment.

thanks gius,

this is working fine,

Thanks Guys,
this information really helped me to install nopcommerce in Godaddy.com

hi,
I follow your instruction and it works. But I got another issue.
In Administrator panel, I've tried to access CategoryDetails.aspx, ProductDetails.aspx and ManufacturerDetails.aspx (Site Structure tab) and it said:

This error occurs whenever I access these 3 pages. Others work perfect.
my host is from SoftsysHosting.com
Can anyone help me to fix this?
thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem.  I already have the site up and running at GoDaddy but what can I do to fix it from there without having to rebuilt it and up it?

Yes, I have the same problem in Administration attempting to edit my sample products and category's.

Do you have a fix?
