Either that or it's definitely something going on with the hosting/IIS.
domagoj, what happens when you click on the restart installation link on the bottom of the install page, do you get gibberish??
No, it can't be connection timeout, the connection string is flawless, and db is 100% available.
When I click restart, nothing special happens, the install page apears again. I don't get gibberish.
Today I'll try to connect my local version to a different db and see if I get the same effect, and then try to debug to see what happens.
EDIT:
Locally everything worked as it should. When I change/set the connection string in settings.txt, and tick space in web.config and save, to restart the app, the home page fires up as it should...
On my hosting, I ran the installation again, when it completed, the home page didn't fire up, but instead I got an error
CS0104: 'TopicModel' is an ambiguous reference between 'Nop.Admin.Models.Topics.TopicModel' and 'Nop.Web.Models.Topics.TopicModel'
but I think that's a whole other topic.
I get the same gibberish you do, when I turn on ASP.NET 4.0(with integrated pipeline). When I leave just ASP.NET 4.0, I don't get gibberish.
I'm stumped... :)
