Problem with initializing server

[mickwald]

Hi

I'm having some problem getting the server to start.. Windows firewall is disabled and I haven't found any other firewall installed on this computer ( not mine ) this is the error message I receive in the errorlog.txt

2008-03-04 13:56:19

catalog'.

this first thing I'm curious about is the Initial Catalog command being invalid.. and second.. anyone got a solution to this?

Any help appreciated, since I'm just here for till friday it would be good if it came quickly 😉

EDIT: I've been checking around and I've tried to check if the port (9524) is open, which it seems not to be, but since I'm just doing the tests locally, I wonder if it's really required to be open..

1 last thing.. how do I fill the database? Or rather, how do I scan the network?

[mickwald]

Ok, I copied the web.config from the other computer to the server...seems to work now.. Thanks for all help.

Same problem as before, probably line breaks in your web.config.

Could you attach your web.config file please.

[mickwald]

thanks, that worked.. now I'm trying to get it to work in the server machine too(running 2003 Server).. but it keep telling me Bad Request...I'm going trough the walkthrough now to check for errors, but I doubt I'll find anything... The service works and all, but the only difference I find is that I've got a separate website instead of using virutal directory..

I managed to get past the password and bad request part..and got the page to load... seems to be some database problem though..getting a screenshot up here soon

Here it is:

Go to the documents tab and add "default.aspx" to the "enable default document"

[mickwald]

bump.. help please..

[mickwald]

these are the properties tabs, was it these and/or was it something else?

EDIT: so.. I'm going home for the day now.. but I'm going to work on this tomorrow so I guess, see ya tomorrow, hehe..

Right click the virtual directory, take a screenshot of all the tab pages

[mickwald]

these are the IIS print screen and the web.config fileif there's anything else you want to look at, tell me
