I have gotten the WebSite.sln built and am trying to run this from a Visual Studio environment. I am trying to run it and bring up the Admin User Interface. I get as far as the Login page and when I enter administrator as the userid with no password it will not open the Admin Interface.
What am I doing wrong?
Do you receive any king of error? Is there any kind of asp.net screen that shows an error? I'd personally set it up within IIS on your local machine to run and test, this seems to run/work the best vs. using VS to do this. If you dont get any errors, I'd suggest checking your computers event log for IIS related errors and query the kentico database to see if you can find any errors. A simple select top 1000 * from cms_eventlog order by eventtime desc
select top 1000 * from cms_eventlog order by eventtime desc
should get you the list of errors
Thanks Brenden. When I run this from IIS, I get this error
The application could not connect to the database, please check the connection string in the web.config file and SQL server availability.
Where does the Kinteco database get installed?
Sherry, in case with brand new installation Kentico usually suggest you to enter SQL Server, credentials and database name, and will create database on the next step. But just recently I've run into the similar issue Kentico 8.1. This happened because I did not select any web site during installation. To resolve this I re-run Kentico installation and selected Blank site during it.
