Thanks to all the previous posts. the classified web was really easy to setup and I have it running locally here on my pc.
There is one problem I cant seem to figure out how to login as administrator. It requires a password when I try to login through the site as administrator and I never set one up. I looked all over and couldnt find it.
I read a post that said I needed to enable roles, but when I look in the web.config file it shows administrators are enabled (if I am reading this right)
<
allow
roles="Administrators"/>
Is there something I need to do in Visual Studio to get the admin account setup, or can I do this through the browser?
Is there a default password for the admin account out-of-the box?
Is there a more detailed readme or guide someplace? (the welcome.html is pretty slim)
ok, its simple enough.... when you read the instructions : D
from Appendix A;
Note: After creating your Starter Kit Web site, create an administrative user for yourself so you can manage the site.
To create a user (member) manually:
1.In the Website menu, click ASP.NET Configuration.
2.Click the Security tab.
3.Click Create user.
4.In the Create User box, type a user name, password, and e-mail address for the member. You must also provide a security question and answer that is used to help users recover their passwords, if necessary.
5.In the Roles box, select the appropriate check boxes corresponding to the roles you wish to assign to the new user.
