Installation fail

Uploaded the no source option
I get this error when i browse to my HP

An error occurred while starting the application.
.NET Core 4.6.27414.05 X64 v4.0.0.0    |   Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting version 2.2.0-rtm-35687    |    Microsoft Windows 10.0.14393    |   Need help?

It's the common error message for .net core projects. First enable log check the error message to find the actual reason behind it. To do that, edit in web.config as below.

<aspNetCore requestTimeout="23:00:00" processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" stdoutLogEnabled="true" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" startupTimeLimit="3600">
  <environmentVariables />
</aspNetCore>

OK did that, unable to find the stdout log

As it says above - website root directory in IIS .\logs\stdout
In my case C:\inetpub\wwwroot\nopCommerce42\Logs

But if the application does not start the log wont be there

Need to check the IIS logs in C:\inetpub\logs
or Windows System and application event log in Event Viewer

Sorry all the problems I had were due to my browser (Opera)
All is good

I feel like an idiot
after install I couldn't login to admin
Chose option to reinstall (failed)
Now getting error when invoking

The page isn’t redirecting properly

Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.

    This problem can sometimes be caused by disabling or refusing to accept cookies.


Also tried install on linux cpanel (failed)
Will the no source option work in linux - any docs on how that works

It will work on linux, if .net core is installed on it. You can contact your service provider to make sure about that.

OK, I will look at that

How about the new problem


after install I couldn't login to admin

Delete database (if created), delete dataSettings.json and plugins.json from ~/App_Data folder. Then try again to install.

Neither of those files were in Appdata
They are not in the distribution file either "nopCommerce_4.20_NoSource_SelfContained"
