Hello,

First of all, I would like to express my appreciation of this project. I have been looking for a long time to find a good cms based on ASP.NET & MySQL and now I have found it! I am planning on using it for several of my websites. I am so excited I can't wait to get it up and started.

One of the reasons I am happy with Mojoportal is that I am having my websites on a webhotel that I am reasonable satisfied with and that only support ASP.NET & MySQL. However, installing a cms like this on a remote system is problematic, because you are not in full control. The service of the webhotel is minimal, so I don't expect any special favours.

One issue is that my webhotel includes one standard MySQL database with a fixed name, which of course is not 'mojoportal'. So I was wondering whether I could rename the database-filename in web.config or would that create havoc later on in the process? Another solution would be for me to order an extra database with the proper name. But if I could simply do a rename in web.config, then I wouldn't have to spend money.

I have more webhotel-issues, but let's start with this one.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Thanks, Joe! A similar issue has to do with the user name (I cannot run the users & permissions script) but I suppose that too can be solved in web.config.

Where are errors logged? In the database or some file?

Cheers,

Fedor

Thanks! I found and adjusted everything in web.config. OK, everything's seems to go smoothly. Time for the customary debugging...

I have just stumbled upon an inexplicable error: http://www.steeman.dk/Default.aspx Apparantly an SQL Server connections is supposed to be established!? What about MySQL?

Oh, well, I am going to bed now and look at it again tomorrow...

Oh, I see, I had extracted them to the wrong folder. At least now I get a MySQL error :

Object reference not set to an instance of an object

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]

Oh, and I had also succesfully ran the script generating all the database tables...
