I have not had any luck getting DNN to work by hacking the web.config. I'm looking for an easier way to install it where there's less room for error. I had no problems in the past installing DNN using plesk. If someone knows another way of installing DNN, Please let me know?
Here are some questions I have in reference to a plesk install. I have a VPS server which does not come with SQL server configured. So I uploaded SQL Server 2005 express and installed it. It seems to be working fine - Question do I configure MSSQL 2005 express to use a separae login or the windows login?
Back to my issues. So, I have SQL server installed and then I executed a plesk.vb installer for plesk provided by the hosting company. It seemed to work fine, but It did not seem to detect my install of SQL server 2005 express. I did notice there is a plesk reconfigurator but, when it asks for a server address, I'm not sure if I can simply put in the IP address of the server or is it asking for something else?
My second to last question is about using the plesk installer. How do I add DNN 4.9 to the application pool? Is there a plesk install package specifically designed for this?
Has anyone tried this and is there a special install package I am supposed to use. I tried uploading the DNN 4.9 install but it did not seem to work. Am I supposed to use the starter package?
The grand finale is this. I see there is "starter package". Is this an easier way to install DNN?
thanks
Thanks
