Error message at setup

Hi,

when trying to run mojoportal for the first time without having created the tables in the database, it asks to check the connection string, which is not correct in that case. It would be nice with a message that says "Run the create table-script before running mojoPortal for the first time" or something, when the connection works. One might otherwise think that creation of tables is handled by the system (which by the way would be nice), and then trying to figure out what's wrong with the connection string. (Maybe you can guess who "one" is. =)

It's great to be back playing around a little with mojoPortal again.

Thanks,

Christian

And also "Run the create stored procedure-script before running mojoPortal for the first time", if tables have been created and not SPs would be good.

Re: Error message at setup

That would be good but might be hard to implement for all data layers, I'll have to look into it.

One undocumented thing I did since I ran into the same problem recently where the connection wasn't working on a remote server and I needed to know about the underlying error to help solve it.

If you add this to Web.config:

<add key="ShowConnectionErrorOnSetup" value="true" />

It will show the raw exception message, but as a security feature it is false by default and the friendly error is shown.

Cheers,

Joe
