That's right - the code camp craze is hitting New Jersey. October 15 is the date and the DotNetrocks road show gang will be stopping by on their cross country tour to celebrate the up coming dotnet 2.0 launch.

Should be a good showing with Don XML and Scott Watermasysk in the area. Registration info is here.

Just got back from code camp IV in Boston. It was a great time, Thom Robbins and crew did another excellent job with the venue and getting support from the community and microsoft.

I did my first presentation! It was on deploying DotNetnuke V3, and was well received. DNN is still pretty hot. I was able to raffle off the Telerik r.a.d controls to one of the attendees. The controls have wrappers for the DNN system and look really cool. The live DNN installation in the demo  worked without a hitch! The slides ae posted on the Dotnetnuke page on this site.

It was great to see Dave Burke in action again, this time talking about his transition to Smart Clients and the kickstart he got with Issue Vision.

Julie Lerman had us ooo'ing and ahhh'ing over Virtual Earth and...

Decided to do the upgrade to 3.1.1 today and had a wierd with multiple portals. Can anyone comment if I my upgrade left me half baked.Here is what I did:1) backed everything up!2) copied over the install files from the 3.1.1 install zip - I ftp'ed the files after unzipping - I could not figure out how to unzip on webhost4life in the parent directory...3) updated the release config with my old settings as per install guide and copied it over as web.config4) now comes the interesting part! I created the 3.0.12 site originally with portal name www.walkspoiled.com, I added a child portal www.walkspoiled.com/pgc, and then added another top level portal www.silverribbon.com5) After putting new dnn 3.1.1 files on and calling up www.walkspoiled.com and www.walkspoiled.com/pgc I did not see install script run, but when logged in as host the site settings said version 3.1.1 - thought I was cool...but6) when I called up www.silverribbon.com...

I could not connect to my SQL Server DB hosted at webhost4life.

It was a real pain using the web based interface provided by webhost4life. I tried to check the online help files and opened a ticket with the help desk and did not get very far.

I wanted to backup the entire DB for a dotnetnuke upgrade to DNN V 3.1 and could not get this done via webhost4life's interface.

After 45 minutes of working with an agent on a ticker going back and forth I decided to poke around and found that the default database was not set. I found the following with a google search and microsoft had the answer posted.

WORKAROUND If the user's default database no longer exists, or has been marked suspect, use the ISQL command line utility to change the user's default database to a database that is currently available for a connection. 1. At a command line prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: C:\>isql -E 2. At the isql prompt, type the following and then press ENTER: 1>sp_defaultdb 'user's_login', 'master' ...
