Re: Cannot get to AbleCommerce Site after IIS7 update

It seems that they have moved the site over to another server and the database connection string encryption/decryption no longer works.
Replace database.config file on the new server with unencrypted connection string from database_default.config as suggested in Judy's post.

AbleCommerce requires 32bit application pool option enabled. In IIS8 this option is not enabled by default.

- Open IIS8 manager

Re: Any advantage moving from Server 2003 to 2008?

The main difference between 2003 and 2008 is IIS. IIS 7.0 (WinServer 2008) or IIS7.5 (WinServer 2008R2) have different architecture are much faster and optimized for asp.net comparing to old IIS6 that comes with 2003. Upgrade from 2003 to 2008R2 (better than 2008) is strongly recommended for sites r...

Re: HELP- unsuccessfully moving to new server

It seems that you still have the database connection string encrypted. Replace the database connection string in database.config with a plain text
connection string. You can then encrypt the connection string again from the Admin interface.

You can run AbleCommerce in a iframe within Wordpress, but I do not see any practical reasons for doing that. If you want to set up a blog related
to your AbleCommerce storefront under http://www.yoursite.com/blog or blog.yoursite.com then Wordpress install make sense.
