I've tried to install .TEXT 4 or 5 different times but always seem to get the same error: A blog matching the location you requested was not found. Host = [localhost], Application = [login.aspx?returnurl=%2fblogs%2fadmin%2fdefault.aspx] From other posts, this
should result from an improper Web.config file but I have tried all of them. Here are the steps I have taken including OS specs. Please let me know where I have gone wrong: -------------------------------- Platform -------------------------------- Installing
.TEXT locally Windows XP Professional SP1 IIS 5.1 SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition Build 2600 SP1 -------------------------------- Installation Steps -------------------------------- 1.

>14. Create New Blog with Dottexthelper. >DottextHelper -add testuser testpassword test@askcts.com localhost blogs false (Second #14;)) DottextHelper -add UserName Password Email Host Application HashPassword So you just created a blog instance with host value
'localhost' and application valye 'blogs' Since you've set up for a multiple configuration, you're really going to be angling for http://localhost/blogs/blogs/ not http://localhost/blogs/testuser If you want to change this, just change the application value
in you blog_config table for that instance to testuser. >15. Create folder for blog user. >Create folder D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\testuser. (and by way of continuation #16) Foldername should be the same as the application value (as above).
Current state, the folder would need to be named 'blogs'. If you change the db value to testuser, then the folder can stay named testuser. >17. Test main page. >Open browser point to http://localhost/blogs/default.aspx This is your aggregate page or your AggSite.
We'll assume you resolve the disconnect between folder name and application db values by changing the application value in the db to testuser. The testuser blog would be at http://localhost/blogs/testuser/default.aspx >18. Test logon. >Point browser to http://localhost/blogs/admin/default.aspx
The admin function is located within a specific blog (it's virtual, but in terms of address you get to it via a specific blog). So it's not a the global blog site level (which is sort of what the url you're using would be). Resolve the single blog issue first.
If you can get to the testuser blog, there should be a login link with the default skins that will take you to the right place. e.g., http://localhost/blogs/testuser/admin/default.aspx. I also want to point out it looks like your virtual is running Whidbey
B1, you might need to drop down and do an aspnet_regiis back to 1.1 at a later point to get .Text playing nice (but it will run side x side on a box with both 1.1 and 2.0, no problem). Give those items a shot. You're probably really close, post back with an
update. If you were a small wayward animal, based upon the quality and comprehensiveness of your description, I would adopt you and feed you cans of other processed animals.
Thanks for the input, I finally got it configured. Here are the steps I used to install .TEXT: -------------------------------- Platform -------------------------------- Windows XP Professional SP1 IIS 5.1 SQL Server 2000 Developer Edition Build 2600 SP1 --------------------------------
Installation Steps -------------------------------- 1. Download Binary Release 0.95.2004.102 from http://www.gotdotnet.com/community/workspaces/viewuploads.aspx?id=e99fccb3-1a8c- 42b5-90ee-348f6b77c407 2. Create Directory D:\blogs 3. Unzip Dottext 0.95.2004.102.zip
into D:\blogs 4. Create Virtual Directory named dottextweb Point to D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb Ensure anonymous access is enabled. 5. Create SQL Server database called blogs. Accept all defaults. 6. Run D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\Data\Dottext_095_FullDB.sql
from Query Analyzer. 7. Run D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\Data\Sprocs_095.sql from Query Analyzer. 8. In SQL Server Security, create a login for user blogadmin Set the password: bapassword Set the default database: blogs Give the user the server role: System
Administrators Give the user database access to: blogs Give user the db role: db_owner 9. Copy D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\Configs\Multiple2_Web.config to D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\Multiple2_Web.config 10. Delete D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\Web.config
11. Rename D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\Configs\Multiple2_Web.config to D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\Web.config 12. Edit D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\Web.config Delete the top comments. Edit the connection string: Password=bapassword;Persist
Security Info=True;User ID=blogadmin;Initial Catalog=blogs;Data Source=localhost Leave the appSettings as they are: 13. Configure Dottexthelper Edit the D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextHelper\DottextHelper.config change connection string to the same
from above: Password=bapassword;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=blogadmin;Initial Catalog=blogs;Data Source=localhost 14. Create New Blog with Dottexthelper: DottextHelper -add testuser testpassword test@domain.com localhost testuser false 15. Edit the
blog_Config table Change the BlogGroup column to 1 for the new user. 16. Create folder for blog: D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\testuser 17. Copy D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\default.aspx to D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\testuser\default.aspx
18. Edit D:\Blogs\Dottext 0.95.2004.102\DottextWeb\testuser\default.aspx: delete all contents and save 19. Test Aggregate Site: http://localhost/dottextweb/default.aspx Main screen produced. Blog stats should show 1 blog 20. Test testuser blog site: http://localhost/dottextweb/testuser/default.aspx
21. Test testuser blog admin site: Click the login button on the page from previous step. Use testuser/testpassword Logout button does not work.
Isn't this pretty much what the wiki says to do? It would be interesting to have a comparison between your list and the wiki install so it could be updated if needed. The logout issue has been reported and there's a fix available, search the forum here for
Scott W's post on an updated dll.
It would be nice to have a guide to installing .text on a web host. Half of the posts in this forum relate to help in doing this.... I have not found a definitive guide, and I am still struggling to install this on www.negox.com I have succeeded with Webhost4life,
but I am trying to set it up on different web hosts (cheap ones) so we can have a real guide and recommendations (including the fixes like the logout issue and the skin installation)
Not sure how it changes from webhost to webhost from our perspective--but, and more importantly, I don't think we're turning away a lot of submissions for supplemental documentation and tips from the user community...
all the probs are solved except one. connstring i m using in config file is same that i m using in dottexthelper but it dosent work in helper and works fine in Dottextweb.. i have latest copy of .Text....................................................... please
solve my problem. Mandar
So the site works fine accessing the database but it fails when running dottexthelper? How did you add a blog to the database so that you know the site works? What are the error messages you are getting? Do you have the proper permissions?
No i havnt added any blogs yet i have tried to add blog manually by adding record to database directl, but it dosent work. error i got was sent by System.ApplicationException handler and says that error is in connection string. i have administrator, sa permissions....
what shld i do? i also tried to use Single2_webconfig................ but it does totally mess with my setup of 'DotText' it throws error related to DotText.BlogConfiguration is there any other app from which i can add my first blog. is there any proper manual
to setup complete DotTextWeb properly..................... i dont have net connection at my home so i can't read manual online. ( So i want offline manual ) Mandar
