Re: Installing Rainbow

Is your IIS configurated?

Re: Installing Rainbow

hi,
thanks for responding. yeah, IIS is configurated. My error is this - "SQL server does not exist or access denied".

Re: Installing Rainbow

It means that you are at the end of way. If got such message, I usually have a sigh of relief.
Do you have user and login ASPNET in SQL Server and wellconfigured ConnevtionString in web.config?

Installing Rainbow Portal

Hi,

yeah, i have a user and login in sql server. but it is not under the name ASPNET. i guess that shouldnt make any difference. i changed the web configuration to the correct string. i sometimes get another error like " parameter not supplied to @PortalVersion in rb_GetTabSettings procedure". should i modify the code inside?

thanks.

yours,
swarnima

Re: Installing Rainbow

You edit the ConnectionString in file Web.config.

server=[your computer name]; database=Rainbow; user ID=sa; password=123456789

Everything is at Forum.

Re: Installing Rainbow

Fastest way is create a temp project, add a datacontrol to your project and configure the datasource and then copy the connection string and paste it into your other web.config :) I hope this helps.

Re: How to add mutiple portals?

You have to add additional host headers in your IIS site where your Rainbow is installed.
