HI Jonas,

I just downloaded DW 9.0.2 an tried running the install-wizzard. In step 3, when I test the database connection I get "Dynamicweb connected succesfully."

But when I click the "Install database" button, I get the following error:

(see attachment)

Could you tell me whats going wrong, an how in can install DW9 ?

Harald, I'm afraid I've never seen that one before.

I've checked the code that is executed when this button is pushed, and I don't see any collections that would give that error.

Have you made sure that the database name you entered doesn't already exist in your sql server?

If this doesn't work, I expect to have a default empty database available for download with the release of 9.1, which would let you install as usual.

Hi Jonas,

Thanks for the input. Based on your information I investigated the problem further.

I noticed in the previous step (Step2), that although I got the message that the "/Files" directory was succesfully created. This was not the case.

I changed the permissons on my solution folder to Everybody (not very good, I know). But now my files directory was created, and in step 3 there were no more errors. The database was created succesfully.

The problem which now occurs is that the overlay "Setting license..." is an infinite loop. (see screenshot)

My database user has de reader writer and admin permissions, but I think that shouldn't be of any influence. Because the licence is written in a file, if I'm correct.

Hi guys,

I can get to this step but then it sits at Setting license and never completes. Any ideas?

On another instance, I actually followed the upgrade path but receive a test warning rather than the site. I used the empty 871 database. Upgraded to 8.8.1.25. I ran the Dw9 checker and activated the database. I pointed my app to the 9.0.2 folder and get:

You can only upgrade to Dynamicweb 9 from Dynamicweb 8.8.1.x or later.

I am working on building a load balanced web farm that will use Dw9. I need to have this working as soon as possible. Any ideas?

Hi Terri,

Try editing your GlobalSetting.aspx. Find a node called LastSeenVersion and set ot to something greater than 8.8.1.x (but less than 9.0 I think). Then try again. If I recall correctly, something like this did the trick for me:

    <LastSeenVersion>
      <Version>8.9.0.0</Version>
    </LastSeenVersion>

Still no dice. I even tried 9.0.0 for the fun of it. 

We've seen problems when there are non-standard dlls in the bin folder.

For instance, any Microsoft.SqlServer.*.dll file might cause problems like this (especially if you have the IIS on a seperate server from the SQL Server). You should be able to just delete the SqlServer files.

If you have dlls in your bin folder that reference other dlls that might be missing, this can cause lockups too.

Could this be the problem, or are you working on clean downloaded version?
