Gemini 3.5 Installation Problem

web-app

Hi,

I've just been in the process of installing a copy of Gemini 3.5 on a new server. However when I first try to load the site to configure the admin settings, i'm getting the following exception:


Exception information:
    Exception type: TypeInitializationException
    Exception message: The type initializer for 'CounterSoft.Gemini.DataProvider.BaseProvider' threw an exception.

Any ideas?

The database is setup on a default instance of SQL2005 on another machine using the sample database, with neccessary permissions, and TCP/IP and named pipes enabled on the instance.

Thanks,

John

Please check that the connection string setting in the web.config is set correctly.

Check the server, database, user and password.

Thanks for the reply SaarCohen.

The connection string it turned out was ok, I discovered the problem was infact that because I'd been running the website under a different domain identity in the app pool, it didn't have permissions to access the c:\windows\temp directory, for I believe the .NET JIT compiller (I may be wrong on the use of this directory here).

Giving my app pool identity read/write access to the temp directory solved this problem.
