you're wrong Ib, i think it;s simply bad coding. look at the folder structures of that thing, they got files all over the place. i left the web.config untouched, they probably hard-coded sampledata as the db/virtual name in there. what's so hard about a sql connection seeting ? it's just a uid and a pass. when i changed the db/virtual names. i got something, but i don't want to use sampleportal when i go live.

 

I also hate the way cutesoft adds files all over inside those cute_* folders. i have never seen anything like this before
