Am I correct in assuming that the demo can ONLY be run on a localhost web server and not a development server?

 

Thanks.

Carolyn,

 

The demo should work on your localhost and your remote server.

 

 

Ok, let me back up a bit:

 

I am trying to install the standalone demo.

I get to step 11 in the Readme.txt file in the cutechatstandalone folder that is unzipped with the download.

I have successfully completed the first 10 steps.

Step 11 does not tell you what to run in order to log in as admin

SO

I tried to open the SamplePortal.sln file in the Web folder and I get the following message:

 

"Visual Studio .NET cannot create or open the application because no web server was detected at this URL:

http://localhost/sampleportal.  Make sure the web server is installed and running."

 

I am trying to open the solution from my remote web server NOT localhost.

 

Meanwhile, when I try to run default.aspx from the Web folder (in a browser) - hoping to find the admin button that the Readme.txt talks about - I get SQL errors.

 

PLEASE HELP!

Thanks.

Correction:

 

I got the solution open.

I'll see if I can find out why I'm getting SQL errors.

 

In the meantime: if you can tell me what I'm supposed to run in step 11 of the Readme.txt in order to log in as admin and set up a chat room, I'm be much obliged!

 

Thanks.

Make sure you modify the web.config file with your own connection string.

 

 

Yes thanks, I am working on the web.config to get it right.

 

But can you tell me what to run?  Is it Web/Admins/UserAdmin.aspx?  Is it Web/default.aspx?

I am trying them both but I've had no success yet...

 

thanks.

hey hi, u should run the /Default.aspx in your web root folder.... thats the home page of the cutechat... also make sure ur web.cofig file is okay... with da correct string!

 

<appSettings>
  <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=(local);database=SamplePortal;uid=sa;pwd=" />
  <add key="OnlineTimeout" value="300" />
  <add key="CuteChat.SqlClient.ConnectionString"  value="server=(local);database=SamplePortal;uid=sa;pwd=;connection reset=false;;Application Name=ChatWeb" />
 </appSettings>

 

*where your user id (uid) and password (pwd) should be accroding to your SQL login.
