Prerequisites:

1) Install Windows 2008 Server with IIS 7 enabled

2) Install Microsoft SQL Server 2008 or later
You could get the free version Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 SP1 Express Edition with Advanced Services. Please download either SQLEXPRADV_x64_ENU.exe for 64bit OS or SQLEXPRADV_x86_ENU.exe for 32bit OS. Make sure you install the all the features including Full-Text Search and Client Components.

Install DotShoppingCart:

1) Download the install package and unzip all files into a local directory on your server

If you are running on Vista or Windows 2008 server OS, make sure you open command window (right click) run as administrator to get enough permission for the following steps.

2) Register WCF service on IIS

Open Command Prompt as “Administrator”.
Navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319.
Run this command "servicemodelreg -i".

3) Go to "Install" sub-directory of the unzipped directory and run

InstDSC.exe <database server name> <database name> <database data file path> 
<encryption key path> [<smtp email server>] [<system email address>]

For example,

InstDSC.exe .\SQLExpress dotshoppingcart c:\dbdata c:\key mail.yourserver.com system@yourdomain.com

If you have space in your path, please add double quotes around the path.

4) Configure IIS and point the site or virtual directory to Web subdirectory. Use "ASP.NET v4.0" as the Application Pool and also change Identity to "NetworkService".

5) Grant the Modify permission of the file Web\DSC.config and sub folders web\App_Data, web\App_Themes, web\Files and web\Images to "NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE"

If you are installing the open source edition, you are done. DotShoppingCartSuite user, please continue the next step.

Only DotShoppingCart Suite has the OrderPipeline service. Open source edition doesn't have it as a separate widnows service.

NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE

wsteinvorth - 12/1/2008 3:23:49 PM

Hi,

I'm using the open source edition and I added the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE permissions in IIS and the web directory but I'm getting the error "Access to the path 'C:\...\web\App_Data\App_Data\Templates\dsc\OrderConfirmation' is denied." I don't know what's the problem. That path has two App_Data directories, can that be the problem?

lukezy - 12/2/2008 7:01:42 AM

Yes, it might be the issue. It should be just one "App_Data" directory. Did you run InstDSC.exe and let it configure the web.config and DSC.config file? Check these two files to see if you can spot any error in the path.

wsteinvorth - 12/2/2008 8:09:26 AM

I found the problem... I'm uploading the published version of my DSC and visual studio removes some directories like "...\App_Data\App_Data\". also I have to change a path in the web.config. Thank you for your help.

Access to path denied

chrisesimmons - 12/2/2008 8:22:02 AM

I get the same problem with the access denied message, can't figure it out.

wsteinvorth - 12/2/2008 9:14:33 AM

Are you uploading a published files to your server?

Yes i put the files on the server

chrisesimmons - 12/2/2008 6:01:11 PM

..\httpdocs\Images\dsc\44_190_140.jpg i have checked permissions asp.net user has permission?

i copied the files to the server, so maybe that's why, nevermind i got it working thanks.

Parser error message

blueingreen - 1/9/2009 7:51:23 AM

@kurt11,

make sure you have .net 3.0+ installed. The <system.serviceModel> node is handled by WCF libraries. After installing .net 3.0+ framework, you may need to add an assembly reference to System.ServiceModel from your web app project.

The type or namespace name 'DotShoppingCart' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

consultsarath - 11/10/2009 7:31:44 AM

I tried to install this on my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit PC, installation was successful. But when I try to browse the site, this error occurs. What should be done?

lukezy - 11/10/2009 10:22:04 AM

Check if you have DotShoppingCart.OpenSource.Core.dll in web\bin folder. BTW, please move the conversation to our forums. Thanks.

Database Password

tbberetin - 3/6/2010 9:15:43 AM

Where is the database password and login supposed to go?

lukezy - 3/7/2010 8:30:18 AM

DotShoppingCart doesn't set up database login. Use any administrator when you install the database server.
