no source install issue on Windows Server 2003?

First time user with nopCommerce.

I installed .NET 4 and MVC 3 from http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=1491

Copied all the files into a folder at  C:\Webs\webSiteName.com

Created the site in IIS.

Have execute for 'scripts only'

When I try to run http://www.webSiteName.com/install/

I get a 404 error, which is kind of what I'd expect, as there's no Install folder located there - and there were no instructions in the manual for creating any default content pages?

The web site is working as I can see http://www.webSiteName.com/robots.txt

What obvious mistake am I making?

Thanks!

Hi,

Have you made sure that your Website's Application Pool is .NET 4 Integrated Pipeline?

You don't need to point to an install folder just go to the root URL as the application detects if an install is required e.g. http://www.mysite.com.

The 'application pool' is DefaultAppPool.

The only other choices are:
ExchangeApplicationPool
ExchangeMobileBrowserApplicationPool
VMware Management Pool.

.NET 4 is definitely installed (I installed it myself, and all updates).

How can I get the Website's Application Pool set to.NET 4 Integrated Pipeline?

Thanks!

Found that 2003 had a strange issue where ASP tab didn't show up in IIS, so I couldn't change it to .net 4.

After resolving this missing tab issue, nopCommerce came up.

However, I'm still unclear on creating a "NET 4 Integrated Pipeline" pool?

I created a new pool for nopCommerce, but ... how do I create one that is "NET 4 Integrated Pipeline" - or do you mean just create a new one?

Thanks!

Hi,

I think by creating the new nopCommerce Pool and selecting .NET 4 you have done what is needed.

If you are running under IIS 6 you may have some issues with running nopCommerce V 2.0 as discussed here http://haacked.com/archive/2010/12/22/asp-net-mvc-3-extensionless-urls-on-iis-6.aspx
