I have mysql 5.5 on my computer, but when I try to install joomla 1.6 the Web Platform installer does not recognise the mysql 5.5 database allready installed on my machine (os windows 7 64 bit). Instead it prompts me to download and install mysql 5.1.Am I doing something wrong? I this a bug or there is some incompatibility between webMatrix and my sql 5.5?
View 2 RepliesI've found a Webmatrix help article that says MS Webmatrix "publishes the (SQL Server or MySQL) database by creating scripts that run in a database that has been created for you by your hosting provider." That is wonderful, except I can't get it to work when I'm trying to publish a MySQL database (backing wordpress) through FTP (my hosting provider does not support 'web deploy'). Again, no problem, since it is already documented that " FTP protocols cannot be used to publish MySQL database. " But this does not excuse Webmatrix from generating MySQL database install scripts for me. During the publishing step, no database install script is generated - at least that I can tell - and there is no manual option to create a database export / backup / install script.
In short, as Webmatrix goes, I'm dead in the water trying to get my database uploaded to my hosting provider. Does anyone know the trick to force Webmatrix to create the MySQL database install scripts on my local box? Once created, I can take-over the upload and install process.
As a developer, I get a lot from the community and feel like giving back something to the community.
And after knowing and working on Joomla i found Joomla CMS as the most flexible, easy and user friendly cms.
As a developer, I like most of the features of it.
Now, i want to have a asp.net version of joomla, available free to the community.
I wanted to start it from scratch and it would be a copy/same as joomla.
Would that be a good idea to go with it?
Are there any CMS (same as Joomla) available in asp.net?
is there anyway i can connect to MySql through WebMatrix using asp.net
View 3 RepliesI just installed the WebMatrix Beta 3 on a machine and tried to create a site from web gallery. The site required MySql. MySql does not get installed so I looked at the install log files for WebMatrix and I see that WebMatrix is trying to download MySql from http://mysql.llarian.net/Downloads/MySQL-5.1/mysql-5.1.49-winx64.msi. The log indicates the return was 404. When I take a look at the llarian site, I no longer see this file available for download. The oldest file available is mysql-5.1.53-winx64.msi.

View 1 RepliesI'm a long time PHP/MySQL developer.I've always used shared hosting with Apache.I'm used to using a control panel, setting up my ".htaccess", configuring my databases and I begin building websites.I have a major project I need to get started on that has to be built using ASP.NET. It also is going to require, at the very least, a virtual dedicated server for hosting. I have some minor expience with IIS 5.0, I have written basic programs in Visual Basic 6, and I have some experience programming in C++.I have no reason to learn older versions, so I am looking to learn on whatever is the newest version of IIS, Visual Web Developer, and anything else that is required.With my background, what would be the best way to approach this?
So far,I am looking at GoDaddy for Virtual Dedicated hosting, but if I pick them or somebody else, what next?Do I login and install the Visual Web Developer package or will it already be installed?Is the VWD package just for development and is there different software on the server?Will I need to install IIS or will it be installed? Should I learn IIS first or go through the tutorials for VWD?

I struggle with publishing 2 databases from WebMatrix using WebDeploy. On Publish settings screen I specify 2 different connection strings, but on Publish Compatibility screen Database names in both destination connection strings are equal. When I return to settings screen, original value is replaced there as well.
How destination server connection strings are evaluated? Here are connection strings from the root web.config file, which are set by hidden parameters in my parameters.xml:
<connectionStrings>
<add connectionString="Server=(local);Database=xxx;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx" name="xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
<add connectionString="Server=(local);Database=xxx2;Uid=xxx;Pwd=xxx" name="xxx" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

View 1 RepliesI'm often experiencing that keyboard shortcuts stops working in WebMatrix. This is very annoying as CTRL-S, CTRL-C, CTRL-V, etc. stops working, all of which are heavily used when programming. It's obviously hard to explain how to reproduce this, but I waswondering if someone knows a quick-fix?

My hosting company states they support .net and razor. However after uploading my website made with webmatrix and razor *.cshtml pages. When i visit my website all i get is 404.17 error messages. As an testcase i decided to add an standard .aspx page. Visiting that page gives the same 404.17 error message :-(

According to my webhoster my web.config is wrong. However that one is generated by webmatrix. Besides my *.cshtml *.aspx a lot of files and directories are added to the bin folder. What can i check and what should my hosting provider check. When using the check compatibility the asp.net version is shown as unknown? My hosting provider claims my site is running asp.net 4.0 in integrated mode and that should be enough.
It's unfortunate that Microsoft WebMatrix (beta) doesn't recognize that files has been modified. I suggest you implement a feature similar to Visual Studio, allowing the user to decide what to do if the file has been modified outside WebMatrix. Especially when you have a button to launch the project in Visual Studio, it should have better support for "dual-development", cause at it is now, code can be overwritten by mistake easily.
View 3 RepliesI got the first beta of WebMatrix, downloaded Drupal, and got a site more or less going. I then tried to move it to two different hosts - first the IIS server running on my own domain controller, then to my hosting service. I dumped the DB with mysqldump, and imported it to the databases running on each server. Then I ftp'd the code and configuration files to both servers, and made appropriate configuration changes (primarily the mysql connect string).On both servers I have the same problem: The site comes up in its home page and looks great, but as soon as I log in as the site admin, I get a 404 (not found) error. Since it looks like virtually everything in Drupal is driven from the database, I really haven't the faintest idea where to start debugging this.

I am trying to limit what I write on all my .cshtml pages. For example, on everypage I am @using myDLL and "connecting" to sql server.
I write that out like
@using System.myDLL;

dll.ConnectionString = "blablabla";
}
How can I remove the need to do that to every single page? I think I can create a web.config and do some funky stuff... can someone show examples?
