Installation Troubles

Installed the No Source version...on a IIS site...going to www.MySite.com/default.aspx just gives me a page not found...in fact every page in the site does.

Please can you verify that you have copied the **contents** of the "nopCommerceStore" directory to the root directory of your domain. A common mistake is to copy the directory itself (e.g. http://yourstore/nopCommerceStore/Default.aspx)

I did...all the content inside the folder is in the root directory...not the folder itself.

And please confirm that your root directory is configured as an application and that you have ASP.net 3.5 installed and ASP.net enabled in IIS.

Thanks,
Ben

What do you mean by "configured as an application?"  


Thanks!

"An IIS Application is a directory, physical or virtual, that has been setup in a manner that makes it logically independent from the rest of the web-site. Its purpose is basically to make sub-directories act just like real web-sites, which is very useful on Win 2K/XP Pro, but not really necessary on a Server. Its important to understand that you cannot create an IIS Application simply using FTP or similar tools -- and this is the cause of many ASP.NET problems."

Generally if you are using a control panel to manage your domain, and have copied the contents of nopCommerce store to the root of the directory configured for your domain, it will be configured as an IIS application.

Therefore the only thing you need to check is that ASP.net 3.5 is installed and enabled.

Hope this helps,

Thanks so much.  I had the wrong version of ASP.net selected.  Now when accessing default.aspx I get:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Any ideas?  

Thanks for your time,

NEVERMIND.  Had to set write permissions to the image folder.  



Thanks!
