Hi,

 

running the installation and get the following error:

The SQL server is on a differnt server to the web server.

 

the path I am specifying is on the SQL server

 

path d:\mssdl\data\ftdata\dotshoppingcart hasn't been created.

 

No idea where the d:\sites\OpenSourceEdition....  is coming from. The web server doesn't have a d drive.

 

Web Server is Windows 2003 Web Edtion

SQL server is SBS server.

 

Running as domain admin user.

 

open source version of DotShoppingCart



 

"d:\sites\OpenSourceEdition" is the exception stack saying where the code was complied. Here is the real error see below yellow background. Just fix the path.

 

InstDSC.exe isaiah dotshoppingcart  d:\mssql\data c:\websites\localuser\dotshoppingcart\key isaiah john@goldrushtec hnology.com.au
 

Thanks for your response.

 

However this is the correct path where my sql databases are stored (on the sql server).

 

My suspicion is the installer assumes that your sql server is the same server as the web server, which in my case it isn't (at least in the virtual sense). Both servers are virtual servers on the same hardware....

 

The problem is that even though this is open source (probably a loose definition), I don't have access to the installer source to fix it.

 

 

JJ.

Yes, it assumes sql server and web server are the same server. All the source code is available via the first link in http://www.dotshoppingcart.com/Page/Community/Download.aspx. The installer is located in InstDSC project.
