Hi Guys, I have a small prob with my DNN install and am lookign for help. Specs: Windows 7 and DNN 5 I Installed DNN on my machine on Thursday, got it working. Thanks DNN_Creative! And started playing around with skinns and modules. That was all great. When I turned powered up my machine on Friday and typed in localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx the page resolved to the install wizard, localhost/DotNetNuke/Install/Install.aspx. Being a nube I reinstalled DNN and went on my way and as I turned on the comp today and went to start my portal it agin resolved to the install wizard. How come am I getting the install wizard? The portal was installed and was running great. Thanks, Marek

That is actually an odd error. It should NOT work like that.
Unfortunately, at the moment I can't think of a good reason for things to happen that way. Don't reinstall again, though. You need to find out what is wrong and get it fixed.
For starters ... what happens if you try to go to the site a second time?

Same thing this mornign. I got it somehow workign yesterday without install but I can't recall what exactly I did. I was trying to manualy install DNN and setup the database.
This is starting to mess up my days real bad. Did anybody else have a siliar incident?
Is there a setting in DNN or do you need to remove certain files for the install wizard not to show up??

Usually, starting the Install Wizard is an indication that DotNetNuke can't connect to the SQL server. Is something going on that breaks the connection to SQL Server?

Thanks Joseph,
I believe you are right as I had the same problem this morning, I tried repairing the DB's and that didnt help. So I restarted the browser, after an hour of farting around with the DB's and suddenly it started working.
It is very frustrating and I don't know how to figure this out.
What would be a good place to start looking?? Permissions, connection setting?
Thanks

Look for something that changes when you power off the computer. Permissions and connection strings shouldn't change.
Is the SQL Server on a different computer than the webserver?

It looks like it was my SQL server. Due to the fact that I was messing around with the DB's I had to uninstall my SQL Server and do a fresh install of the database. the good thing is I didnt lose any content as I was developing a template. Some of the issues that were happening were admin login not working, not being able to create users and so on. With a fresh install all is working good.
I also spoke to my brother who also develops in DNN and he had a similar issues. He told me that in his case it was IIS losing conection to the DB and his solution was to restart the IIS service.
Just a heads up to developers that have similar problems.
