I have looked and looked but no where is there a step by step break down of how to add a login?

Also need to know how to attach a database

and add users.

Basically I have xp pro, sql 2005 developers edition, iis 5.1

And I don't understand what to do for the troubleshooting section in appendix B:(

Thanks for your help in advance.

Oh and I have the C# book

Hi,

I've completely revised Appendix B and tweaked the WroxUnited code so that it is easier to install. I have also included instructions on how to add SQL logins for your databases as well. Please find the new appendix and code on my website at http://www.hmobius.com/downloads.aspx

Thanks, dan

Hi,

> Still have the issue of I hit f5 and get http://localhost:1051/WroxUnited and not http://localhost/WroxUnited

Ok, it sounds like you're opening the web site in Visual Studio from the File System rather than from IIS. In the new appendix help file, rework through the instructions for running the site on IIS, VS FUll and SQL Full and it'll show you how to open the web site from IIS. If you're having permissions problems as well, it sounds like you'll also need to check through the page called 'Set Your Permissions for IIS'

Hi,

I found my problem. I did not put defult.aspx after the http://localhost/WroxUnited

Also in your help file some of your links do not work.

************************************************** *******
Download the code for WroxUnited
You can download the code for the WroxUnited site from my own site, hmobius.com. I've tweaked the web.config file to make it easier to get things working using a SQL Server 'full' edition - hopefully this will filter back into the downloads on wrox.com at some stage.


Site only code - C# from hmobius.com (called WroxUnitedCS.zip) (THIS LINK DOES NOT WORK)
Site only code - VB.NET from hmobius.com (called WroxUnitedVB.zip) (THIS LINK DOES NOT WORK)
************************************************** ************************************************** *

In your download there is no begin or end in order to fully complete the task list in the book.

nor does it have a folder called WroxUnitedCS, but neither does the main download from this site either. That is a error that also needs do be fixed with either the book or the download.

Hi tgregory,

Good spot that - I had just the directory in the link rather than the file too. I've updated it now with the links working.

As to the begin\end chapters, this is just the full working code for wroxunited.net. It's not for any specific chapter - in the full download for the book on wrox.com, this is the replacement for finalapplication.zip.

The point of the new appendix is to make sure that everyone knows how to set up the code so they can work through the book with it rather than getting stuck - as you did - at the first step.

I hope that helps.

Incidentally, if you needed to type http://localhost/WroxUnited/default.aspx to get your site working rather than just http://localhost/wroxunited/ you might not have the default page set up in IIS.

Open IIS, right-click on the WroxUnited virtual directory and click properties. Click the documents tab and make sure Default.aspx is in list of pages in the section marked 'Enable default content page'. If it isn't, click Add, and add it. That should help. I think that if you install IIS after .NET the default.aspx entry doesn't get added.

Yes you where right.

This is something you may want to add to your changes. I would have never known.

Thanks

Glad to be of help. I'll add it in for the next release of the appendix
