I have it running on my iis server at home....didn't want to go through the hassle of uploading it and making changes to it to get it to work on Jodohost...besides...it's written in C#
That in itself turned me off.
I am going to stick with my DotnetNuke installations.
I don't know how C# can turn anyone off. PHPNuke is kind of slow for me, but when I run rainbow it runs alot faster. Since C# is a compiled language it runs slower the first go around then faster after that. I don't know....I like rainbow but just like Brawney It is kind of young but I want to be part of the growth. I am in the middle of building a module right now and it is not that bad, but you need to be a programmer to do it.
I like to be part of new things, so if they take off I am part of that wave.

I am running Rainbow Portal at JodoHost: http://www.lempira.net
Haven't done anything with it, however. Just testing different .net portal implementations.
I am having some problems getting CSKNET ( www.GotCommunityNet.com ) running here, however.
Revision: I got the GotCommunityNet portal running on Jodohost also: http://www.ado-net.com
The problem was database-permission related.

I've been through a lot since October when I started this thread. Still looking for a portal though. I'd like to stay in the MS world, particularly with an ASP.NET product. But Rainbow still doesn't have much support behind it (can't even find themes for Rainbow anywhere).martinelly said:
DotNetNuke is moving along pretty good. They're getting ready to release version 2. But it doesn't have much support in the way of forums.
PHP Nuke is vert popular but I'm told it is coded poorly and it runs slow.
Seems like I can't find "exactly" what I'm looking for. I'm working on a couple different sites and each has different needs, so I will probably end up using Rainbow on one of them, but the other needs full functionality with a robust forum as well.

Well I use ASP.NET Portal Starter Kit by MS (C# version as it seems to be more stable than VB one). It does have some lack of features, but all I need is inside and some other things I just coded myself

I am using DotNetNuke (on 2 sites so far) with a few C# modules I have developed and all works great! The forums I use are the Adverageous forums and they are nice...

Support guy has to do it--it did not take very long after I sent my ticket.
Did you have any problems installing Rainbow on JodoHost? Got the install to work on my local machine but can't seem to install it on any remot .Net hosts.
Right now, although I uploaded all the files to JodoHost, I'm getting a generic "file not found" error page (not a .net error page). Run into anything like this?

I had quite a few problems--and the worse part is that I am not exactly sure what worked. Make sure that in web.config:
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
At least, it should tell you what it does not like.
There are other settings that need to be changed in web.config such as:
-the proper connection string to your database in Jodohost
-the place where your <Esperantus> assemblies are located. You have to know the physical location to your files--places I mark with x's below. Just create a Jodohost ticket and they will tell you.
<add key="CountryRegionsStore" value="Resources" />
<add key="CountryRegionsStoreParameters" value="AssemblyName=C:\xxxxx\xxxxx\xxxxxx\bin\Esperantus.dll;CountriesSubStore=Esperantus.Resources.Countries.xml;" />
<add key="KeysStore" value="Hybrid" />
<add key="KeysStoreParameters" value="AssemblyName=C:\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\xxxxxx\bin\Rainbow.dll;KeysSubStore=Rainbow.Resources.Rainbow;Path=C:\xxxxxx\xxxxxx\xxxxxxx\bin\Rainbow.dll;FilesPrefix=Rainbow" />
</Esperantus>
But at least start with the <customErrors mode="Off"/> and work from there. It is not the easiest install. My installation still has a problem--every day when I first browse to the site it tells me that the asp.net account does not have rights. Then I do a refresh and the site comes up. Annoying but after I got rainbow to come up the first time I have had little time/desire to play with it.
Good luck!
