DB problem install on GoDaddy
I'm trying to install Kentico on a GoDaddy account.

I copied the files without problem, but when I try get past the second page of the install i receive:

Use existing DB: The database "xxxxxx" does not exist. I created a database in the GoDaddy hosting admin.

Create new database (using same or different name):
An error occured when creating database: [DataConnection.ExecuteQuery]: Query: CREATE DATABASE [WineReserve] COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS: caused exception: CREATE DATABASE permission denied in database 'master'.
Creating a new database xxxxxxxxx

Are there any other changes I need to make? I did add the line to web.config, which let me access the install pages.

Hi,

Could you please make sure that you are using SQL account with administrator rights to login to SQL server? For more information on this please see: http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/database_setup.htm to find out where the account used to login to SQL server is specified.

Best regards,
Vita Janecek

Hi,

Could you please describe us your issue?

GoDaddy is not our hosting partner and we have encountered some issues with them in the past. As many details as possible would be appreciated.

Best Regards,
Juraj Ondrus

RE:DB problem install on GoDaddy
I finally succeeded in setting it up on GoDaddy. I created a site on the local m/c just as it is outlined in http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/index.html?installation_on_shared_hosting.htm. However, I created a sample site and then with the help of the Database Publishing Wizard, I exported the local database to GoDaddy. After that I copied all the files from the local machine to GoDaddy, made the necessary connection string and the extra key change in web.config and I was up and running! You can see the thread in http://devnet.kentico.com/Forums.aspx?ForumID=18&Thread=00004753.
