Dear Informed and Helpful Person (you know who you are),
I have been unsuccessfull with installing nopCommerce 1.7 at godaddy.com. I can't get past the first couple steps in the wizard. I get errors that report the database cannot be found.
(Incidentally, I am using IIS 7, .NET 4, and I'm trying to install from a sub-directory, listed with IIS as an application directory, off the root.)
I also had an error that a Theme could not be found. That theme is used by an application in the root. I tried a suggestion: <location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">, but that didn't work. I side-stepped this by simply providing that theme to the sub-directory. Now it's found, although not needed. (Strange! I think there's something inherently wrong with running applications from the root as well as from subdirectories, but it seems that godaddy requires it that way.)
I found a clue at http://www.mohamedibrahim.net/blog/2009/04/24/setup-net-nopcommerce-shopping-basket-on-godaddy-problems-with-sql-server-and-webconfig/
However, I don't know which "ammendments" I need to make to the web.config file. Also, the link provided within that page points to a missing page.
Is anyone here willing and able to provide more clues as to how to install nopCommerce 1.7 at godaddy?
Would the $20 documentation from nopCommerce provide my solution?
Thanks,
Dan N8PPQ

Whew!
I got it!
The clues from
http://www.mohamedibrahim.net/blog/2009/04/24/setup-net-nopcommerce-shopping-basket-on-godaddy-problems-with-sql-server-and-webconfig/
were sufficient.
First, I copied and ran the sql query files (Install>Scripts directory) in a "New Query" window in Management Studio. I copied and executed the files in pieces because they are so large. These files created the database tables and loaded them with data.
The only change I made to the web.config file was to allow debugging. I also noted the name used for the connection string: NopSqlConnection
Then I added my connection string to the connectionStrings.Config file and named it NopSqlConnection.
Fini!
I did notice that it loads slowly even after compiling the first time. I'm sure there will be lots more to do, tweeking and configuring. But I'm happy. I can move on now.
