Hi,

Are you sure the wwwsiteroot folder corresponds to the Web folder in the mojoportal package? Did you modify Web.config?

I tested and it worked for me though I got one error because the mssql package was missing an empty folder that should have been there under /Data/Sites/1/ there was missing the GalleryImages folder so I created it and fixed the download but this is a different problem than what you report.

I assume you are using the ms sql release files not source code? Please speicify if this is not correct.

Hi Marco,

That is not the right connetion string. The key mojoProjectMySQLConnectionString is for a separate project that never got implemented. You should be using the one named key=MySqlConnectionString

Also odbc connection is not supported, it uses ADO.NET connection provided by MySql.Data.dll which is the MySql connector for .NET. You downloaded the MySql data layer files separately and replaced the mojoPortal.Data.dll with the MySQL version right? And you put the MySql.Data.dll in the bin as well?

I would recommend restore the Web.config as it was fro the original download. Then open user.config.sample in a text editor and save it as user.config and set your connection string there. user.config can be used to override anything in the appSettings section of Web.config and makes it easier to keep your customizations when you upgrade. Be aware the .NET will detect changes to Web.config but not user.config so if you make chages to user.config you need to type a space in web.config and save it. This way .NET detects a change in Web.config and will reload all setings including those in user.config.

Is your web site configured as a root web site or as a virtual driector subfolder like localhost/mojoportal? If a virtual directory subfolder then make sure there is not another Web.config in the folder above it that interferes. Also make sure the folder above it is not configured for 1.1 .NET. From the error I can see that the folder that it is running in is 2.0 .NET but if its nested under a 1.1 app it could cause problems.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Hi,

I'm not understanding you very well. Are you still getting the error about no root element?

mojoPortal is already designed to use ADO.NET just set the connection string using the format in the example user.config file. Enter the correct server name, user password, and db name. You cannot use an odbc data source or a named dsn.

Best Regards,

Joe
