Installation problems

Unspecified Error
When I run DbNetSpell I get an 'unspecified error' message.
Show Answer
This is a general error returned by the Access drivers. You can try the following;
1) Restart IIS
2) Assign full permissions to all users for the data subfolder of the DbNetSpell installation folder (where the Access data file is stored)
3) Check that you have the latest versions of MDAC and the JET Drivers installed on the server.

If the problem persists, you can migrate DbNetSpell to use Sql Server or MSDE. To do so, take the following steps;

1) Download the appropriate dictionary file and place it in the 'imports' subfolder of the DbNetSpell installation folder. This is a CSV file supplied within a zip archive, so make sure you extract it. The dictionary file may be downloaded from this URL

http://www.dbnetspell.com/dbnetspell/download.aspx

2) Identify the Sql Server database which will serve as the location for the new dictionary table. You can use an existing database or create a new one. You should then take the OLEDB connection string which accesses the database and copy this into the value property of the 'default' connection alias within the web.config file in the DbNetSpell installation folder. For example;

<add key="default" value="Provider=SQLOLEDB;Server=server1;Database=northwind;UID=sa;PWD=;"/>

(note - you can check the connection string first by pasting it into the conection string test utility which is accessible from the DbNetSpell menu page.)

3) You can then run the Dictionary Management utility from the DbNetSpell menu page. Select the correct dictionary source file from the list of Dictionary Source Files and select 'default' from the connection alias drop-down and then click on the button to 'Create Dictionary'. ictionary creation will start and progress will be reported every 1000 words.

Installing DbNetSuite on a shared server
How do I go about installing DbNetSuite on a shared server?
Show Answer
Download the DbNetSuite zip archive and upload it to your shared server. Extract the zip archive into a new folder and then create the following seven virtual folders in IIS, making each one an application;

(1) 'dbnetsuite' maps onto the installation folder
(2) 'dbnetgrid' maps onto the DbNetGrid subfolder of the installation folder
(3) 'dbnetedit' maps onto the DbNetEdit subfolder of the installation folder
(4) 'dbnetfile' maps onto the DbNetFile subfolder of the installation folder
(5) 'dbnetcombo' maps onto the DbNetCombo subfolder of the installation folder
(6) 'dbnetlist' maps onto the DbNetList subfolder of the installation folder
(v7) 'dbnetspell' maps onto the DbNetSpell subfolder of the installation folder

This error indicates that ASP.NET is either not installed or has not been registered with IIS.



If you believe ASP.NET is installed then try running



"C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\{version}\aspnet_regiis.exe"
