Background:
Windows Server 2008 R2
SQL Server 2008 R2
SiteFinity 3.5 moving to SiteFinity 3.7 SP4
Visual Studios 2008
I am using SiteFinity 3.7SP4 blank project asp.net 3.5 to to take an old asp.net 2.0 sitefinity website. I have copied over all my files and moved my databases to the correct computer. However, when I run the website from visual studios, I am sent to project startup which is fine I guess. However when I select the database and I follow the following steps
1. Select SQL Server 2005/2008
2. I fill out the server name, database, username, and password. I leave the default port 1433
3. I click next
Then the error below shows up
Server Error in '/NetTN3.7' Application.
Failed to map the path '/'.
