Setting up DW on localhost windows 7 IIS 7

Posted on 27/05/2010 16:11:04

I'm trying to run a dynamicweb solution locally for testing purposes on IIS 7 for the first time after switching to windows 7.

I believe I've set up all my folders correct, but something is wrong.
I keep getting the error: "Language.mdb was not found. Do you want Dynamicweb to attempt to download the database?" when I try to access the Admin.

The page redirects to: http://localhost:90/Admin/Public/GetLanguageMDB.aspx

Anybody has any idea what could be wrong?

best regards Sune Fengel.

Hello,

What happens when you press "Yes" on this page ? It should actually download the file (~ 10 MB) and proceed to the administration.

Nothing happened.
I copied the ?fetch=true parameter to the url and reloaded the page. Then it said language.mdb successfully downloaded.

But when I tried to access the Admin folder I was back to square one.

I can see that the language.mdb file is located in the admin folder and the NETWORK SERVICE user has access to all folders.

The Application runs by default with the identity of "ApplicationPoolIdentity" - try to change that to "Network Service" in the identity settings of the ApplicationPool running your site.

Hello,

Please make sure I have a Microsoft.Jet.OleDb.4.0 provider installed.

This might help:

@pvo good idea.
unfortunately the Jet OleDB provider is deprecated for Windows 7 but I downloaded 2007 Office System Driver: Data Connectivity Components from

alas it made no difference.

Are you using a 64 bit version of Windows 7? If so, then you need to tell IIS to enable 32 bit applications. This is done by going to the Advanced Settings for your AppPool and setting the "Enable 32-Bit Applications" under the "General" node to "True".

Had the same problem on a DW8.0 installation. Changed the setting "Enable 32-Bit Applications" under the "General" node to "True", as Jeppe suggested. That did the trick. Couldn't you Dynamicweb add this setting in the installation guide, please?

Hi Lars

The architecture of DW8 has changed to allow for true 64 bit AppPools to run Dynamicweb. However this requires you to have a 64 bit Access driver installed (even if you're running your DW on top of a SQL database). This piece of infomation was unfortunately not included in the installation guide due to an oversight but rest assured that it will be added :)

In the meantime, you can install the driver in two ways. Either install a 64 bit version of Access 2010 or install the stand-alone driver from here: http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en&id=13255. Remember to get the AccessDatabaseEngine_x64.exe file.

Hope this clarifies the situation :)
