AbleCommerce Shopping Cart Software

Details:
Trial user, evaluating for a client
2008 x64 on VMware
SQL Express 2005 SP3
ASP.NET is running as "Network Service" according to IIS
Root folder for AC has full permission for "Network Service" user

I cannot get the install page to come up. Additionally I cannot get the testpermissions.aspx page to run either. Both are erroring out.

HTTP Error 500.19
This configuration section cannot be used at this path. This happens when a section is locked at the parent level....


I would love to get this installed so that my client can evaluate it but I'm not having much luck thus far.

Thanks

I made some Google searches and had some results. Look at this topic

I guess I am just not familiar with IIS.

This is the error that I am receiving.

That error suggests that the default web.config file for AC7 has been modified to work within another .Net application.

Did you modify the root web.config file for your particular installation?

On Server 2008, I think you need to give the machine IIS_User permissions to the web site folder.

This is a clean install of 2008. No other applications exist on the server. The C:\AbleCommerce directory is extracted straight from the archive from the AC website (after registering).

I added IIS_IUSRS under full control for the AC directory and still recieve the same error.

Hmmm that is odd - I don't usually have all that much trouble getting 2k8 to run AC7.

Here's what I do:

Make a folder.
Copy the unzipped files into the folder
Set the folder permissions to have:
IIS_User Full Control
NETWORKSERVICE Full Control
Go into IIS Manager
Configure an ASP.Net Classic app pool
Configure a new web application, assign it the classic .Net app pool and point it to the folder
Launch the install

I'm not 100% clear on the two "configure" tasks but here is what my IIS screen looks like.


IIS & NetworkService are both Full control and the folder has inheritance enabled.

I also recieve this error when attempting to view Handler Mappings and Modules on the "mystore".



It's a bit frustrating that the docs on help.ablecommerce.com are not completely up-to-date for 2008 considering mainstream support for 2003 has already ended.

Thanks

Check this out. May be it would be helpful for you.
