Hey Tristian,

Welcome to the forum!

I don't think that 5% is usually a DB permission problem, more likely a permissions (folder) problem.

How are you setting up Umbraco (locally, hosted, WPI??)

Also which version are you trying to set up.

Cheers

Rich

 

 

Hi Tristian

I am a new to Umbraco and had this problem. I was manually installing on to my own server. (Win 2K8R2 and SQL 2K8R2 database). Could not get it to go past 5% on the DB connection. I started again and:

I followed this guide: http://cultiv.nl/blog/2011/7/18/how-to-install-umbraco-manually/
and set my perms using this as my guide: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/reference/files-and-folders/permissions

and all is now working.

Good luck

T

Thanks guys for the help, but it is still not working.

Rich, Version: UmbracoCms.6.0.4. Installing it on a virtual server with SQL Server Express 2012 and Windows Server 2008 r2 SP1.

Tom, I had followed the instruction you sent on the installation link already, I have also now set the permissions according to the other link you sent (IIS_USERS). I had already set full permission to DefaultAppPool and  IIS AppPool\Umbraco and still nothing.

Any other ideas? I have tried everything.

Thanks again,

Tris

 

When you say a 'virtual server' what do you mean.

Why don't you install it locally via the Web Platform Installer and go from there?

Rich

Hi Rich,

On VMWare Server on a proper server. No real difference between a server and a web server when it comes to this. Reason is I do not have my desktop machine on all the time and want it available on the LAN at all times.

Thanks,

Tris

 

Hey Tristain,

Understood, however if you are new to Umbraco i'm trying to eliminate any complexity & server permissions are slightly more complex in my opinion.

Easiest way is via Web Platform Installer, get it working then upload to your virtual server, it it doesn't work correctly you can debug and fix permissions as you go.

It sounds like it could be a permissions issue on the database. Can you make sure that the db user you have specified has the appropriate permissions set on the database.

See Step 4 - http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/install-and-setup/how-to-install-umbraco-on-windows-server-2008

Hi Brendon/Charles,

Thanks for the reply. As mentioned the database setup process finishes and I have all the tables created. The user has dbo_owner privileges. As tables got created by the install I assume database persmissions are correct. I have also rechecked regarding access and table creation by logging in as user via Management Studio.

Ok, Check EventViewer what does that say about what has happened?  Still if its stuck at 5% its going to be database releated?  Not sure if it does a role back if its not able to complete. Charlie :)

let me check

ok :)

On your www root folder, right click. properties, select security.  Does IIS_IUSRS have full permissions?

Yes. The root of my Umbraco Web Site folder has IIS_IUSRS (MYSERVER\IIS_IUSRS).

I have Orchard CMS installed, WordPress and a few others. It is just Umbraco I am having a problem trying to install and evaluate.

Ok, will do some digging as rich said it may be worth just installing from webmatrix to get started until you can solve the problem or a soution can be found on these boards :).  Charlie

Out of intrest what does your webconfig say for this bit?:

<add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="server=localhost;database=xxx;user id=xxx;password=xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

I might try setting Network service to full permissions just to make sure its not a permissions thing before anything else :)

The line from web.config is as follows and the details are testing and work in Management Studio:

<add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="server=.\SQLEXPRESS;database=Umbraco;user id=Umbraco;password=XXXXXXX" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

See below all permissions set.

 

I dont know if this might help? http://robwillis.info/2013/04/umbraco-6-stuck-at-connecting-to-database-5-complete-when-using-iis-7-5-mysql-5-5/

i Guess next i would check for illeagal characters in your path such as #?

First off, I really appreciate all the help Charles. Thank you. I do not think that is the problem as my database tables are being created. I did try it anyway, and no difference.

I have deleted all database tables. Deleted all files from the web folder. Installed the Web Installer at http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/umbraco.aspx and it still does not work. Same problem, stuck at 5%. Nooooooooo!

Have you got an SA user on the SQL server? If you run through the install again with the SA user this time it may rule out DB permissions.

keep a look out for a solution :)

is working on a reply...
