If you are running nopCommerce from a web hosting service, you should make sure that the root of your application is configured as an application.

You could find this out by contacting tech support or if you know your way around your control panel you could probably do it yourself.  Make sure your directory where nopCommerce is located is configured as an application.

Hello,

Thanks for replying

What i have done now is i have followed the instructions as per the nop commerce site and uploaded all the files to the
server

now when i am trying to navigate to the install.aspx i am getting the following error.

Server Error in '/ReportServer' Application.

Open ConnectionStrings.config and make sure that the connection string is correct.  If you have not yet installed nopCommerce go to www.yoursite.com/install/install.aspx

Excellent that is working fine

however after deleting old nopcommerce tables from the database when i run the installation script it gives the following error

An error occured: There is already an object named 'Nop_CustomerSession' in the database.
Running scripts from file: E:\web\protontrad1\htdocs\ReportServer\install\Scripts\nopCommerce_createDatabase.sql

when i check the database all the tables are recreated however the installation wizard doesnt completes and keeps giving the above mentioned error

i also tried upgrading instead of a new install however it is not allowed

Hi, I have the same problem!
Have you solved?

Yes, i deleted the old database and created new one , its working fine now
