Hi!

Trying to setup a mojoportal for the first time at my webhotel. I have copied all the files and created the database tables (mysql). But when I'm trying to open the page in IE I get an Server Error in '/' Application. I have changed Web.config to <customErrors mode="off"/> but it still show the same non specific errorpage, not usefull at all.

I have searched the forums and found out that the data folder needs to have write permissions. Ok, before I contact the support for this, could this be changed to another folder? I have a folder named db which was automatic setup with the following permissions:

"db" is a special folder with special permissions for databases. db has iusr_ write but no script or read access it prevents anyone from downloading your database as iusr has no read or scripting rights.

Could this folder work instead? Is it possible to use it or do I need to contact support and ask them to change the permission?

Hi again!

The web support said they fixed the permission setting, but it still doesn't work. It's the same error message and I have tried to change the customErrors but it doesn't do anything.

So, where should I go from here?

Thanks for your help so far Joe. No results yet however.

Can you explain to me why the customErrors = off doesn't do anything. If I set it to off, shouldn't it display the error up front instead of writing it to the data folder?

I have been in contact with the webhost support twice now and it still doesn't work. Just in case I provided them with false information, could you post exactly what I should ask them to do?

Hi again!

Well, after sending your installation help to the web support they answered a bit annoyed (for the third time) that the permission is set correctly to the data folder.

To test that the custom "Errors = off" was working I made a new web.config with just this setting. And it did work, I recieved an error which is better than nothing:

Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Could not load type 'mojoPortal.Web.Global'.

Source Error:

Line 1:  <%@ Application Codebehind="Global.asax.cs" Inherits="mojoPortal.Web.Global" %>

Well, I guess that this doesn't mean a crap since I just removed all your settings. But is the mojoPortal.Web.Global a file? If so it's not included in the release zip.

So, what's left to test? The only thing I have changed in the real web.config file is the conection string to the database. Will the log file in the data folder still be written if I have provided a wrong connection string?

I'm lost...

OK, the files seems to be ok.

Yes, 2.0.50727 is installed.

Hej Emil

I am using the same web host (web10) as you and wonder if you want to share you experience.
