I built the source code and created the web site. All seemed fine.
When I launch the umbraco localhost to complete the Umbraco installation and setup, I get a login page without any hint for a user ID or password. Why am I getting this login screen and what user ID or password I should use please?
ps. I don't want to create my site from the binaries, I want to have an idea of what the umbraco solutions is like, that's why I'm using the published source code.
I was not asked for any user id or password. I rebuilt the source code, I created the web site in IIS, and then just launched the site from IE. The first page I get is the login page; I never got thru the Umbraco installation screens yet.
Here is the first thing I get when launching the Umbraco site. Again, I built the source code, created IIS site and launched the http://localhost page, and I got this log in screen that I have no clue what user ID and Password I should use for? (there was no Umbraco site installation screens, just this login screen).
Must admit that I have never build Umbraco from the source myself before so honestly I don't have any clue.
But if you have a look at the web.config file to see if <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="4.7.1" /> has any value? If it has try removing it so it looks like this <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />...If I remember correctly this should trigger the installation process.
While we're at it and if the above works you should probably check that the proper permissions has been set for IIS_IUSRS group since the layout on the screendump above does not look right.
Your suggestion worked (Thank you). After changing the line <add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />, I got into the installation screen. However, as you saw earlier and here below, the install screen does not have the proper layout (skin). I confirmed IIS_IUSRS has "full control" on the folder where Umbraco is located (which is C:\Umbraco).
Why login page right after an install?

Hi Kim,
you need to use the username/password combo you've entered on installation.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,

...IIS_IUser has full control over the folder where I have Umbraco (C:\Umbraco) --
Hi Kim
Hmm, that should be enough.
I suppose the application pool identity is set to ApplicationPoolIdentity or Network service, right?
Perhaps you should try to give network user and iusrs accounts full permission as well to see if it makes a difference.
/Jan
IUsers and network user have full access to the Umbraco folder and site.
Users have "Full Control"
Network Services have full control...
IUsers have full control...
Hmm
I'm all out of ideas. Sometimes the clientdependency cache can play some tricks but I really doubt that is the case in this situation.
However you could try to delete it and see if it makes any difference. It's found in App_Data/TEMP/ClientDependency
If this does'nt help I'm afraid I don't have any more clues.

Thank you Jan. I'll post a seperate thread for someone out in the forum to see if there's anyone who installed from source code like I'm doing.
is working on a reply...
