database initial schema needs to be created

I followed these instructions: https://www.mojoportal.com/packaging-and-deployment.aspx

However, I am still receiving the error for mssql.

Probing system...
File system permissions ok.
MSSQL database connection ok.
database permissions are sufficient to alter schema.
database initial schema needs to be created.

My setup file is there.

I have followed the Readme.txt in the solution from TortoiseSVN.

I have tried deleting everything and recreating it.

I'm not sure what I am missing.

Please help.

Re: database initial schema needs to be created

"database initial schema needs to be created"

That message is shown when it does not detect the existence of the mp_Sites table in the database.

You may think you have packaged things correctly but it does not seem so. If it shows no database scripts being executed on the setup page it seems likely that you did not upload the database scripts.

I suggest download the official release package that I made for mojoPortal 2.4.0.3, ie mojoportal-2-4-0-3-mssql-net40-deploymentfiles.zip

and compare the contents below the  /Setup/applications folders and sub folders below there to understand what is missing in your package

See also the article Setup and Upgrade for Custom features, note that mojoPortal core and our included features use the same system to run database scripts.

ie the sql scripts for mojoPortal core are in sub folders under

/Setup/applications/mojoportal-core

Re: database initial schema needs to be created

Thank you Joe very much. I was missing this:

/Setup/applications/mojoportal-core

Everything is good now. I appreciate you taking the time.
