Wiki Januari/Februari CTP question

Downloaded the latest bits of the Wiki but was unable to attach the needed database files to my SQL Server 2005.I can't run SQL Express beside SQL Server for some stupid reason so I'm missing the .ldf files in order to be able to get the project going.

Can these .ldf files be retrieved somehow or is there some other procedure that I can use to get the .mdf files attached?

Or even better can someone explain me why I can see SQL Express in the SQL Server Managament Studio and play with it but when I want to view the databases in my App_Data subfolder in VS.NET 2005 I'm unable to get access to it... Error message always gives me this:

Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to a failure in starting the process for the user instance. The connection will be closed.

Also when I just want to run an application by hitting F5 I get this message.

Thanks in advance!Anyone?

Hi,

I already provided an answer toyour post that pointed to this one. You can use the

sp_attach_single_file_db command to get it to work.

Grz, Kris.

Works in VWB 2008, but not in my website

I created a nice-wroking site in VWB 2008 express edition, but when I uploaded all the files (images, all files in bin directory, default asp page and vb page, css sheet and web.config) the site gives an unknown error:http://www.wiki-pedia.co.il/

I tried to follow the directions in that page and add <customErrors mode="Off"/> to web.config but nothing happend. What should I do?

Thanks,
Yoni

What you should try to do first of all is upload a web.config that contains ONLY this:

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File --
<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

If you were able not to figure out the problem, try to contact the support at the hosting server!

HTH,
Regards

Thanks,

please make sure that the hosting company supports .Net 3.5 or .Net3.0 and the Ajax extensions issues ...

Oh darn. I wonder if I can get my money back...

I noticed that I get an error when entering Microsoft's website: "Server Error in '/' Application."
for ex.http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h(vs.71).aspx

Why is this? I have no access to most of microsoft's site.

you must have access to above link, it works for me.

whats i want to mention here is that you have to make sure this site is not blocked by a proxy in your network or comapny

it doesn't work. I am a private user, I've never touch my network settings. Note that I usually use IE6 (where I get the error) but I have FF too for design purposes and the microsoft site works fine there. I noticed it doesnt work in IE6 after I installed ASP 3.5 and the framework, as well as VWB 2008. Perhaps on of these programs touched my network settings?

Well, I don't see a better solution that contacting the hostnig support and ask them to check on the server what is happening with your website. They can help you more and on the spot!!

Thanks

Well, I turned to my hosting support and they installed what ever it was I needed. It seems to be working correctly now:

Thanks for your help.

I am glad it works for you!

Usually, when you are sure your work is running well locally and having problems on the server, better to email the support on the spot!!
