Visual Studio Configuration

Hello,

I'm a newbie to MojoPortal. I am having some, I believe configuration problems when I try and run a locally compile copy of the source code.

I used the web installer to download and install MojoPortal on Windows 7, IIS. That worked reasonably well and the site was up and running quickly.

I then downloaded the latest source code, followed the instructions in your developer documentation for setting up Visual Studio 2010 and successfully compiled the code (without any changes).

I then  pointed my IIS web site created with the web installer to the web subfolder in the MojoPortal source tree.

All files/directories are writable by the IIS user. The web.config file in source tree was updated to use the database created by the web installer.

When I visit the web site in a browser, there appears to be no theme or scripts running. (white background, left justified, no admin menus)

Is there something else I need to do?

Thanks in advance,

Bill

Re: Visual Studio Configuration

Make sure you rebuild the entire solution not just mojoportal.web project. Then using an empty database in the connection string (ideally in user.config) visit the /Setup/Default.aspx page.

During initial setup the skins get copied from /Data/skins into /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins but if you point it to an already populated db it will not copy those files.

If the problem persists check the log for clues under Administration > System log

and view the source of the page and follow the url for csshandler.ashx and see if it is returning css or if an error is happening.

Hope that helps,

Joe

Re: Visual Studio Configuration

The problem was the missing files under /Data/Sites/[SiteID]/skins . Followed your suggestions and my issue is solved.

Thanks for your help
