I decided to recreate the batabase by running the script in the Database folder. I have completed that successfully, and am trying to log into the control panel and I need the userid/pwd. Since it has been a while since I initially did it I and after reading the manual quickly (I may have missed something) I believe I have to use the temporary userid and pass work I was given initially by Early impact. I tried using it and it does not allow me in.

 

Did I miss something??

 

I also went to browse the site and I can get to it but obviously there are no products.

 

 

Any ideas ont eh userid/pwd??

 

Thanks

 

However, I have a programming background and I have worked with SQL server and I believe it is an SQL issue. Since that is the only thing that has changed. The backup from which the DB was restored was a working backup i.e. the site was working without any issues. Added to this the only thing we usually change is the price. So no new products etc.

 

I would appreciate any insight!

 

If the economy was better I would not have hesitated using your recommendation as the 1st option.

 

I had the misfortune of a SQL server crash. I re-installed the SQL server from ground up using W2K3 server w/ latest SP and installed SQL 2008 instead of the SQL 2005 since I could not find the older SQL 2005 disks. From a backup from 3 months ago I extracted the Product cart DBs (so the only difference would be the changes in pricing) and re-attached those to the SQL 2008 server. Made the changes to the connection string to point to the new server and tested.

 

I get no errors (so far as I can tell using the control panel. I can see the products and make the changes in the price without an errors).

 

However when I browse the site as a shopper would I get an error when I go into the detail page of the product (usually by clicking the link via description of the product). The error is as below.

Can anyone help? I thought it could be the SQL 2008 instead of the SQL 2005, as that seems the be the only thing that has changed. I had a difference SQL UserID / PWD previously which I recreated. I changed that to the 'SA' user in the connection string without any difference.

 

I have also checked rights and tried both Master and the Product cart DBs as the default DB for the User ID....no difference.

 

Any ideas would be most welcome!
