I have been able to install DNN at my local machine, but after I run the default website the code asked me about the Database configuration in first step. When I proceed to the next step the progress is not exceeding from 15%. I have restarted the website many times but the progress stucks at this point and is not proceeding further. Is there anything which I need to be done before this step? Here is the second step in which I need help-
Please check your database name, username and password as well as your instance name.
I'm assuming you've created your database first, and then given the user you are using permissions to that database.
It's stopping on the install Database Schema, so it seems like your the Database user you are using may not have enough permissions.
Put that user in the DBO role and also, (TEMPORARILY) give them sysadmin, serveradmin, and secruityadmin rights. I do this, and then take it away AFTER the install.
You can check out the installation guide if you have not yet: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/Page/Install_DotNetNuke
And, the DNN videos are very good: http://www.dnnsoftware.com/videos

I have a problem with Cpanel, or atleast with my database, because i cant see my database trough either cpanel,mysql databases or phpmyadmin but when i tried to run a import sql script it states that the database exists. How can i access my database, i have heard some databasemapping resets on cpanel level but the problem is that i cant access the server on any way(only my site via FTP ofcourse).
It looks like i dont have permission, also my firstly created (head mysql account) is gone, or atleast i cant login with the same credentials as before. Whenever i try to add an mysql user it says completed(user created succesfully) but when looking at all users there aren't any users stated.
Sounds strange doesn't it?
I hope someone knows the answer, i need the database back.
You can use Adminer for importing and exporting data via ftp. Please try.
Can anyone tell me what the $#%& this is? I'm assuming its a local only issue since I can't find anything on the net pertaining to it in particular.
I've even gone through and deleted all the Data Connections in the Server Explorer and I still keep getting this dialogue over and over. It's a fresh install of VS 2012, any insight appreciated.
So basically we had some folder redirection sync issues backing up appdata and basically had to take off the permissions and kill the profile before signing back in.
In other words if you happen to run into this in my scenario of config'ing a new machine while still trying to work on the original and you're logging in as the same user and your appdata is syncing, your paths may not match. Problem solved, but took some figuring to realize the issue.
In my case, I had an icon on top right corner in VS prompting that authentication expired. I had to re-enter authentication to a Microsoft account in my case a Hotmail account.
I have a database in a local file that is used by a program. The program has limited functionality and I needed to run some quick queries. I installed SQL Server Management Studio Express 2005 (SSMSE), connected to the SQL Server instance, attached the database file, and ran the queries. Now the original program will no longer connect to the database. I receive the error:
Cannot open user default database. Login failed. Login failed for user 'MyComputer\MyUserName'.
I've gone back into SSMSE and tried to set the default database. I've opened up Security, Logins, BUILTIN\Administrators and BUILTIN\Users. Under General, I have set the default database to the program's database. Under User Mappings, I made sure the database is ticked and that db_datareader and db_datawriter are ticked.
The program uses the connection string:
Server=(local)\Instance; AttachDbFilename=C:\PathToDatabase\Database.mdf; Integrated Security=True; User Instance=True;
I know jack-all about database administration. What else am I missing?
This may not be answering your question specifically, but it may help others with similar issue caused by different problem
In my case the problem was my user is defaulted to a database which is not accessible for any reason (can be renamed, removed, corrupted or ...)
To solve the issue just follow the following instruction
Try to login again on the login page there is other tabs select
"Connection Properties".
under the tab locate "Connect to database" and select an existing database you have access to like tempdb or master
Once you are connected to the SQL Server Instance execute the below TSQL to assign the login a new default database.
Use master
GO
ALTER LOGIN [yourloginname] WITH DEFAULT_DATABASE = TempDB
GO
Alternatively once you connected change your default database name to master via UI

This problem manifested for me when I took my default db offline. Next thing I know I couldn't login. Switching to the Connection Properties tab and selecting the drop down to change the database I want to connect to also failed.
It let me in right away once I manually typed master as the db I wanted to connect to (on the Connection Properties tab).
First, try to isolate your problem:
Take a backup of the file! Some of the steps below can, apparently, in some circumstances cause the file to vanish.
Are you sure you are connecting to the same instance through Management Studio as the program is?
If possible, try to shut down the instance that you are not expecting to use.
Set the user's default database to master and try to make the program logon.
Try to login as the user through Management Studio - since you have integrated security, you should open Management Studio as the program's user.
Are you using "User instances" - perhaps without knowing it? If so, this may be helpful: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/sqlexpress/archive/2006/11/22/connecting-to-sql-express-user-instances-in-management-studio.aspx
I haven't worked much with files being attached in the way your program does - but you write that you attached the DB in the Management Studio as well. Have you tried detaching it there before running your program? Perhaps you are seeing the Management Studio and your program competing for exclusive access to the MDF-file?
EDIT: I added point 6 above - this is new in my own list of TODOs when troubleshooting this type of Login failed. But it does sound a lot like what you're experiencing.
EDIT2: In the first edit, new item was added to the list. So the numbers in the comments doesn't correspond with the numbers in the answer.
I finally figured this out, and my situation is different than every other I've read about tonight.
I had restored my database from a backup. I knew that there was a particular login user that I had been using, so I created that user in SSMS. However, there was already a user by that name under the database that had come in with the backup.
Since I had screwed around so much trying to fix this, I wasn't able to delete the user under the DB easily. I deleted the database and restored again. Then:
Delete the user under the Databases->[my database]->Users
Create the user again in Security->Logins (not under your DB, although that probably works too.
Go to the newly created user. Select properties. Then under User Mappings, tell it to make your database the default. Give it read and write access.
Summary: I had two users. One that came with the DB, and one that I had created. Remove the one that came with the DB and create your own.
First click on Option>> Button of “Connect to Server” Prompt.
Now change the connect to database to any existing database on your server like master or msdb.

I've also had this same problem, it turned out that I was trying to access the built in membership classes (in a view), and that .Net was trying to create the database in the App_Data folder:
#Membership.GetUser().ProviderUserKey
This will trigger the system to try and create a database based in the built in membership system, which may not be the way your system is setup.
I had a similar problem had to simply download SQL Express Utility that is capable of starting User Instances. SSEUtil is a tool written by the Visual Studio team to help troubleshoot User Instance issues, you can read more about it in the read me file that is installed with the utility.

Hope this will help.
In my case I had to set "connect to any database" right path:
On your instance, go to Security , then to Logins.
Right Click on there, you will see properties and you should click on Securables.
There it give possibility to connect to any database.
I am a software developer with devlopment experience in C#, C++ .Net alongwith SQL Server 2005/08, Oracle and mysql. But somehow i dont get jBASE to work at Windows XP SP3 machine.
My goal is setup user accounts, create database on a JBASE ainstallation, authenticate and backup/restore few table via a C++ program. And i dont need to do it with builtin backup/restore tools of jBASE.
I am able to install jBASe 4.1 aling with all its accessories on my WINXPSP3 machine. I was able to run the jSlimserver and TEMENOUS server along with licnesing server. I was able to add the license key as well. But after that what i was supposed to do? i have no idea about it.
The docs and online help doesnt answer a simple question of how to create a database! The google search results from the jbase site all go to the 404 Pages!
Can a jBASE expert guide to the following steps:
Create a jBASE database.
Create users
Authenticate via those users
Connect to database
Create tables and insert data.
Connect via a C++ or C# program to connect to jBASE DB and backup/restore tables.
I know that this is too much too ask but i dont get to get the JBASE system. I cant get it to work on my System somehow. Btw, jdc and jexloree doesnt seem to do anything. I have checked that enironmental variables for jBASE are setup correctly and i have verified them. There are no extra JRE or JDK installations on my system. Besides all that, only licensing client, slim server and temenous server seem to run and listen for connections and no other execuatable ever seems to work.
A simple tutorial to achieve the objective will be highly appreciated. Also if anyone can point out the mistake that i have done or anything i might need to check, then please do so. I will be highly encouraged and obliged.
Thanks
Steve
I hope this will help, if you have not already found a why to do this.
Setup jBase User and Database
Create a Security Group called
'Jbase' or what every you want to
call it
Add a User to this group. I would
recommend adding your administrator
user to it as well
Create a folder in you file system
to save the database information
into
Assign the 'Jbase' Security group to
the folder, and give it "Full"
read/write/execute access.
Creating the database:
Make sure the current users you
are logged on with is the 'Jbase'
security group.
go to the command prompt, and CD
to the folder you create to store
the database
run the jShell 'jsh' from that
location
use CREATE-FILE to create the
files/tables you want to store your
information in.
Inserting data:
There are several ways to enter data. You can use ED, your can your programming environment, or you can create a quick MultiValue/jBase compiled server script to ask for the data and write them to a file/table.
After I uploaded my application created using cakephp, I found out that I had to rename the database. I renamed my database accordingly and changed the settings in the database.php file in the "config" folder. But my application is still not running.
I am being shown this error message
"Missing Database table"
"Error: Database table tbl_topics for model Topic was not found."
I have double checked the existence of tbl_topics in the database (it is there in the database) but the application says "table not found"
what might be the problem, please help me out...
Make sure the host/user/pass that you've set-up in the config.php file have access to that database and table
You could also try running cake schema generate --dry which will spit back any problems with the connection that you might be having
Also have a look in your app/tmp/logs for some extra information on the problems you are experiencing
Take the username and password you are using for cakephp and it's db connection and connect to the database from the command line. I'm presuming you are using a unix-type system and mysql?
mysql --user=user_name --password=your_password db_name
...and then try to run a simple select:
SELECT * FROM tbl_topics
If you get an error there, it will at least identify that it is a low level db problem and the likely solution is that you need to grant permissions to that username to select from that database. Your current access levels for that user is probably granting access to the db under the old name.
You have probably uploaded your cache files as well. Make sure you delete all the files in /app/tmp/cache/*
Warning: Don't delete the folders, files only!
Also, make sure your tmp folder and all the subfolders are world-writable.
One last thought would be to check your model cache. I don't know why that would impact you with respect to connecting, but it's worth taking a look in app/tmp/cache.
:-)
finally got it.... :-D
I forgot to assign the user access to my application's database on main server. After assigning the permissions all went fine.
Anyways thank you all for your valuable answers... It helped me gain some additional knowledge about cakephp.
