    Missing fields for database details in installer

    When installing 4.7.1 using WebMatrix, the fields for entering the details of an existing MSSQL/MySQL database do not show up. This occurs consistently in FF7 and IE9 on Windows 7 x64 on two different machines.

    Exact version: umbraco v 4.7.1 (Assembly version: 1.0.4281.20201)

    Hi Simon

    Could you perhaps describe the steps you take when installing Umbraco from WebMatrix?

    Once Umbraco has been installed using WebMatrix you need to launch the site in order to set up your Umbraco instance using the usual installation guide where you can select wether you want to use a blank MSSQL databse, MySQL or SQL CE or whatever :-)

    Please provide us with some more information so we're in a better position to help you out.

    Hi Jan,

    It's when you get to the step in the installation process about specifying the database that the problem occurs. There is nothing special about the installtion. Here's a screenshot:

    As you can see, despite SQL server being selected in the dropdown, the fields for server, database, user and password are all missing. It's the same if you select MySQL.

    I've managed to work around the issue by specifying the connection string manually, so it's not an urgent issue for me. But since it's reproducable on 2 different machines, it may be causing problems for others.

    Thanks,
    Simon

    Had the same issue just now - got around it by editing the umbracoDbDNS setting in the web.config file (through WebMatrix) and then going back a few steps and trying again.
