    Installation - problem getting Cute Chat to start up

    I worked through the five steps of installation that come with Cute Chat - the fifth step says - log in as Admin - I tried this URL:
    www.mydomainname.com/WebCute (subdirectory where I put CuteChat) -

    In the web config file for the Cute Chat website, for the first key (Connection string) I put my connection string to my database (I put the Cute tables in my existing database - they are all there with data) - for the third key in my Cute webconfig file I wasn't sure what to put (your installation Step four said to change it, but didn't say to what), so my key is the original:

    <add key="CuteChat.ConnectionStringProvider" value="SamplePortal.ConnectionStringProvider,SamplePortal" />


    I get this error - says (and I quote):

    Server Error in '/WebCute' Application.

    String cannot have zero length.

    Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

    Exception Details: System.ArgumentException: String cannot have zero length.

    Source Error:

    Line 110:		private Chat_Lobby[] GetAllCuteChatLobbies()
    Line 111: {
    Line 112: return ChatWebUtility.Api.GetLobbies();
    Line 113: }
    Line 114:


    What should I do? I have been working on getting this to run for three days now -

    Please check the step 4:
     

    Modify web.config file and specify the Cute Chat Connection String and Connection String Provider


      <appSettings>
      ...
       <add key="ConnectionString" value="server=(local)\portal;database=SamplePortal;uid=test;pwd=test"/>
      <add key="CuteChat.ConnectionStringProvider" value="SamplePortal.ConnectionStringProvider,SamplePortal"/>
      </appSettings>
     
     
    Keep me posted.
