Installation restarted on live site?

I have a weird situation...been running a site for 6 months and today I goto the url and it wants me to go thrugh the setup installation again?

How do i stop this?

S

Check your \App_Data folder.  After installation, these two files are created:
Settings.txt
InstalledPlugins.txt

If not there, then the install will run.

thanks for the reply...those files were present but the issue lay with the permission's, had to add NetworkService to the owners with full rights...sorted now.

Thanks for posting.

Regards,

Stephen

Hi,  I ma having the same problem havechecked both files are there where did you give those permission on databsae?

Just had the same issue with version 3.1.

I am using only one database, both for test and testing and release as this business is very small so i didn't want to have the installer popping up.

The deployment bat files are not copying these two files which are needed:
settings.txt
InstalledPlugins.txt

After you copy them from the source directory, give "Network Service" full right to your directory and run the site again.

That fixed it for me.
