    Server Error in Application

    I cannot get the application to run.  I am running WinXP SP3 and SQL Server 2005 and VS 2005 internal web server .NET 3.5 set for this app.

    I installed version 4.0.4.1 using the Web Platform Installer to 'inetpub/wwwroot/umbracoCMS'  It created the database and user successfully.  I can login to SQL Server Mgmt Studio using that login, however the DB has no tables. umbracoConfigurationStatus value is blank.

    Url: http://localhost:4845/install/default.aspx?redir=true&url=/umbracocms/install/default.aspx

    Server Error in '/UmbracoCMS' Application.
    HTTP Error 404 - Not Found.
    Version Information: ASP.NET Development Server 9.0.0.0

    Any help, thanks?

    Hi,

    It seems you are using a virtua directory which is not supported (yet). Umbraco needs to be installed in the application root.

    Hope this helps,

    Richard

    They say "We prefer to use the free Cassini web server rather than IIS".  Cassini was the nickname for the one that's part of Visual Studio, which I am using.  Virtual Directories are in IIS, which I am not using.  I thought this problem was solved years ago by having development websites served by Visual Studio with Urls like: http://localhost:1234/install/Default.aspx, as opposed to Urls like http://localhost/UmbracoCMS/install/Default.aspx.

    Sounds like you are saying not to use Visual Studio web server.  However, I can run IIS 5.1 which only has a Default website and so I need to create this site as a Virtual Directory under that, but you already said that won't work.

    I thought I had a pretty standard development environment.  Do you have a suggestion?

    FYI, all I did to run the site was open the unzipped 'inetpub/wwwroot/umbracoCMS' directory in VS 2008 as a 'website' and try to run it.  Though, I'm not having any luck getting it to run in IIS, either.  But again, that's probably because you say it can't run as a VD.

    It seems to me that VS 2008's built in web server should work with Umbraco, just like UltiDev's Cassini, but from browsing the forums, I don't see any info about that.  Whatever site you're working on in VS is served from a 'root', like:

    http://localhost:4845/install/default.aspx

    Unfortunately, see my first comments above...it doesn't work for some reason.  Not sure if it's the root vs. virtual directory problem.  Anyone have any input?

    Thanks.

    I use XP PRO IIS admin to run multiple sites locally. That gets around the need for virtual directories due to being limited to one IIS website in XP. The general practice is to keep only the code you're working on in a visual studio project and use post build events to copy over to the umbraco website.
