Installation file permissions

I'm trying to install on Godaddy server. I have all folders that were suggested changed over to read write permissions, however I can't change the permissions for web.config or global.asax. I've tried to move all the files into a subdirectory named 'store', but when I try my 'domain.com/store/' address I don't get the install page. I thought I could do the subdirectory and change permissions for the whole subdirectory which would inherit to web.config and global.asax.

Found a couple of similar issues in the forum, but not a solution.

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Your in luck I solved this problem 30 minutes ago.

GoDaddy aint much help are they!

The trick is to move the files out of root then set permissions before putting them back.

Credit to @amuhaimin for finding this out.

1- Upload NopCommerce file by ftp (i did with filezilla)
2- Use FTP file manager Go Daddy to create a sub category and call it NopCommerce (temporary folder) and move the root all file to this folder.
3- Then, Give permissions this whole folder (write and read) (NopCommerce folder)
4- Move all files to the root(select all and use move button). Temporary folder will be empty now.
5- Delete your old database and create one with spec:  2008, Allow direct access database(yes) and name it.
6- Insert all info to the install page such as database name, etc..
7-That's it, Hope it's work for you because it work for me... :)

Your not my support guy from GoDaddy are you?
Trying to find the answer to the my last support request? lol
;)

I actually tried this with no good outcome. I didn't do the entire nopComm folder structure, but I just did the 2 files, that weren't in a subdirectory of root. When I get a chance this evening I may start fresh with your instructions and see how it goes.

Curious..you weren't setting permissions in Filezilla were you? The only way I could set file permissions was by using GoDaddy's FTP web client.

Nevermind...I missed the part about GoDaddy FTP File manager.

Congrats, don't forget to markup any post that you found useful =)

Noted....will comply! :)


Now that I have that issue solved I'm getting an error 'Setup failed: No database instance'

The database is there and I'm pretty sure I'm entering in the correct information to connect but it doesn't sound like the connection is going through. A few searches through the forum and I wasn't able to find a good answer.

Found the solution for the DB connection issue. You need to set direct access set in advance option when you create the database on GoDaddy's site.
Direct Access:Yes

Installation went through!

I also had a similar issue after deleting a database and recreating a new database with the same name.

It appears sql was holding the name in reserve from the previous instance.

I deleted it, created a database with a different name and success.
