I'm sure that I've done everything necessary but when in step 2/5 of the wizard, I click Install and the page posts back with no message. It won't let me past this stage for some reason.
One possible issue that could be affecting it is that I'm running on an eHosting test domain...
Do you think it could be a problem that the install is expecting to be in the root of the web? I can't really transfer the domain accros at the moment so I'm stuck on the test domain.
Do you think I might be on the right track? Has anyone got any ideas? I hope someone can help.
Have you created the database already? You won't know the sa password for the server so won't automatically have rights to create databases. Create the database through the Plesk control panel and then use the username and password you provide, along with the server eHosting gives you once the database is created.
You can test your connection by using Microsofts SQL Server Management tools (SSMS) to connect to the eHosting database servers. From memory, there's two, one at plesk1.ehosting and one at plesk2.ehosting - don't guarantee those server names are 100% right, it's from memory.
eHosting installation problem
Hi,
I've signed up to the eHosting silver package after reading this article...

Ooops. The test url didn't show up properly in my post. Here's the path from the root...
/$sitepreview/liquidthinker.com/install/default.aspx?installStep=detect
Update: Issue resolved.
It was a problem with the path. I pointed the domain to the eHosting server and the install worked fine.
I have also signed up for ehosting plan. but i am not able to connect to databse. it failes on selection of database option in installation.
Please can you suggest which connection string did you used?
