I just completed a short project for an ISP/Web development firm setting up a Web forum/discussion board for church organization’s website. I used ASP, and added an approval feature before Posts actaully go up on the board.

It was a good project to do along with my OSG work, since we’ll be implementing one of these as well, so the work I did can be “plugged in”. There is a good possiblity of getting to do another of these, and perhaps a blog setup as well. That got me lokking again at dotText (a dotNet weblog) that I have setup, had working, and then it broke again, and I’ve never been able to get it working again. I posted my questions to the dotText mailing list. I ‘ll include it below (in the extended entry):

The details of my dotText escapades:

Second attempt, trying virtual setup:

My database has the following values:
0,”dlature”,”password”,”dlature@comcast.net”,”DotTextBlog1″,”My second setup”,”marvin3-red”,”blog1″,”localhost”,”Dale Lature”,-5,True,”en-US”,15,True,2003-10-24 00:00:00,””,””,0,0,0,0,True (the last field actually reads 1 in the database…the text comma delimited export shows True

When I try to open:
http://localhost/dt/default.aspx I get
.Text – Application Error!
Details

Login failed for user ‘bloguser’.

when I try to open http://localhost/dt/blog1 (since blog1 is my Application name)
.Text – Application Error!
Details

File does not exist.

I DID set up the mapping to the aspnet_isappi.dll as well

What could be wrong?
