Installation guide for dummies..

Hi There.

I am trying to get lansweeper working in my enviroment - i have 500 PCs.

I am not very good at SQL, so i dont know if it is there i am having problems.

This is what i have done.

installed a testserver "testsrv1"

made it af member of our domain

installed SQL 2000 on the server.

I have created a database called "Lansweeper"

Created an SQL user called "lsuser" given it the roles public, and DB_owner, is this enough??

Created the service "lsservice" the user "lsuser" logs on, the user has local admin rights on the testsrv1 and on the clients. The service starts up just fine.

Installed IIS and ASP.net on the server.

created an virtual directory pointing to the folder "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Webconsole" where i have edited the web.config to contain this information.

<add key="MM_CONNECTION_STRING_Lansweeper" value="Persist Security Info=False;Data Source=127.0.0.1;Initial Catalog=Lansweeper;User ID=lsuser;Password=myownpassword />

And then i thought i would be able to type testsrv1/lansweeper in my internet explorer. But nothing happen "The page cannot be found" is all that i get.

So i dont know if it is in the SQL part i have made an error of it is in the IIS part?

Hi Everybody.

The solution from Billporte, "worked"

Weel at least i got a bit longer - know the website shows.

But i think i am having problems connecting to the database 😞

when i go to the http://testsrv1/lansweeper/ site i get this image

I get the error both on a remote machine and on the lansweeper server....

Any places i should start looking for the error?

Make sure that you have the dotnet 2.0 framework installed on the server.
Make sure IIS is registered for asp.net (check this link http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h(VS.80).aspx)
Use aspnet_regiis -i to install asp.net on IIS.

I had the same issue, on the virtual server configuration I had to remove all the indexes and I only leaved "Default.aspx" - you can easily test if you have the same problem using the complete URL http://yourserver/lansweeper/default.aspx before messing around with the settings.

Hope this helps you. regards!
