I installed nopcommerce 1.8 locally before, but run into problems which I believe was related to using Visual Web Developer 2008. So I upgraded to Visual Studio 2010 professional/ Net. 4 framework. Now I have downloaded nopcommerce 1.8 (noSource) and trying to run it again.
I purchased the user 1.8 manual and it says in VS 2010 I should open the nopCommerce.snl file for the entire solution to be loaded. However I cannot locate that file. Any advice please?
Ok, I have not been able to get much further. Following the nopcommerce installation I get to step two and I am unable to make progress.
When I got it running locally before I put MY-PC/SQLEXPRESS in the textbox field. Is there a syntax for SQL 2008 2R?
I have tried MY-PC/sqlserverinstance MY-PC/instanceName ./sqlserverinstance ./instanceName
and I get either error:
A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)
or

Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: SQL Network Interfaces, error: 26 - Error Locating Server/Instance Specified)
You will have to edit the webconfig file in the sulution and remove the databindings there. This should reset the connection and allow you to set it up again.

Is the connection in the web.config file or ConnectionStrings.config?
If you have 2008 R2, open up Sql Management Studio and copy the name of the server connection that pops up. If you paste that in the connection.config file then everything should get back on track.
