Hi,
I am using the 2008 Express editions of VWD and SQL Server on my XP Pro system with IIS installed. After following the instructions in Appendix B, I attempt to check the installation with IIS. When I type in
http://localhost/WroxUnited I get back the message that that Internet Explorer was able to connect to the website, but it does not have permission to view the webpage.
A couple of notes:
I installed the SQL Server 2008 express edition while installing the VWD.
When the VWD was starting the default.asp file, it asked if I wanted to convert to the 3.0 edition of ASP. I tried it both ways, most rescently agreeing to the conversion.
The troubleshooting note do not make any sense to me.
1. Add [machine\ASPNET] and [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] as logins, substituting machine with your machine name. (Add to WHAT and HOW?)
2. Attach the database (wroxunited.mdf), making ASPNET the db_owner. (How?)
3. Add [machine\ASPNET] and [NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE] as database users. (Again Where and HOW?)
4. Change the connection strings in web.config. (TO WHAT?) That should be all for the WroxUnited database. Then there's the providers, which can be added to either the WroxUnited database (HOW?) or to a separate one.
5. Run aspnet_regsql (in the framwork directory) (Websites\WroxUnited ?), to add user/roles/etc tables/procs (WHAT?) to the appropriate database (WHICH IS?).
6. Add provider sections in web.config for <membership>,<role>, and <profiles>, settingthe default provider (TO WHAT?) for each to the new provider added. (???) These providers should point at the ConnectionString for the database (which will be either WroxUnited or a new connection string if you're using another database).
Could someone please provide me with clear concise instructions on what to do.
The miscrosoft download site only offered me the options of 2008 editions. Do I need to start over and find the 2005 editions?
Please help!!!!
Jim
