Hi.

I want to install cutechat onto a dotnetnuke portal I own... the problem is that I will not be able to run the program to import the "import-this.xml" file as it's a remote server.  Is there any way around this?

 

Cheers

Dave

Dave,

 

Just type your database connection string. It's ok with the remote server. 

• Open the Tools/CuteChatConfig.exe. Type in the connection string, then click the load button.
• Click the "load configuration file" button. In the open window, navigate to Tools\import-this.xml, and click the open.
• Click the "Save the configuration to the database" button.

 

 

The only problem is, although I can find out the name of the database and security details, the site is shared on a server with other users.

I think your documentation assumes that I can run the tools program on the server hosting sql, or at least have the connection string to hand.  On the provider, in the web.config file, the connection string has "Server=(local)" as the server name, but I am not local to that server, do not have access to a remote desktop session to the server, and only know the IP address of the server that my site is running on.  I also cannot remotely access the sql server using Enterprise Manager so I am guessing they lock down the port used by SQL EM, so I am guessing that the tool you mention above wont work either remotely!

Dave,

 
I see the problem now.

Is that possible let your host run it for you?

Thanks guys!

In the end the hosting company ran the file for me, and CuteChat is now working well... shall be purchasing it once I have fully tested it!
