Installing umbraco

Hi,

I have developed and run a site with Umbraco 4 with no problem at all. I have run this locally on Win 7 64 using the VistaDB.

I have deployed the site to our live server - a shared host plan with FastHosts. The front end runs great and I can get to the login panel via www.xxx.com/umbraco/umbraco.aspx as normal. However when I login I am receiving a "Configuration Error" highlighting the line:

<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="TestType" />

Any help shedding light on this matter would be much appreciated. The full config file is as follows:

Sounds like a permissions problem. I'm not too familiar with the permissions needed on hosting machines, but it seems like the umbracoMembershipProvider can't be loaded.

Other than that, the only difference in my web.config seems to be that I added the hashed passwords, that might help?

<add name="UmbracoMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.members.UmbracoMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" defaultMemberTypeAlias="TestType" passwordFormat="Hashed" />
<add name="UsersMembershipProvider" type="umbraco.providers.UsersMembershipProvider" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="false" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" passwordFormat="Hashed" />

Oh, I also see a difference in the modules section, mine says:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="True">

Thanks for the reply S_J. I've done some digging and found out the shared hosting package in place is only a Medium Trust environment, so I expect that's the reason for the issue.

Time to change hosts it seems.

I got the same error. I have deployed the site in this Host: http://www.plugin.com.br/

Any help?

Sorry if this has been answered before, But I dont seem to be able to find any reference other than this post.

This is my first time trying to evaluate Umbraco 4.0.3

I wanted to install it on the windows 2003 server with sql server 2005. I created a blank db, and have given necessary permission to the folders. And created a website in IIS the usual way. created its own Application Pool.

I have given the site a domain name and get the same error.

I wonder if you have any ideas or if there are any documentations in setting up the site on IIS. I have only spent about 10 minutes to reach this step and I may need to do more readings on documentations.

Many thanks in advance

If anyone else came across this error like i did for an UMB 4.0 project:

Try to add <trust level="Full"/> in the <system.web> section in your web.config.

Old post but i got this after 7.3 upgrade and it was because my Global.asax had been deleted.

Completely unrelated error - had me stumped for a while!

@Damian

Thanks a lot! You saved me a lot of time. There are some more files deleted (like config files). I don't know, why they are deleted, but I was able to identify these files with my SVN. This might help somebody others.
