To set up the ASP.NET 2.0 Time Tracker Starter Kit

  1. Log in to your Account Manager.
  2. In the My Products section, select Hosting Account List.
  3. Next to the hosting account you want to modify, click Open.
  4. In the Databases section of the Hosting Control Center, click the SQL Server icon.
  5. Next to the name of your SQL Server database, click Open Manager. The SQL Server Web Admin tool displays.
  6. In the tree on the left, expand the Connection folder and select Connection.
  7. Enter the User Name and Password for your database. You created your user name and password when you set up your SQL server database.
  8. Expand the Tools folder on the left and select Query Analyzer.
  9. On your local computer, open the "timetracker-add.sql" file for your Time Tracker Kit. This file is located in the "App_Data" folder, off the Time Tracker project root.
  10. Copy all of the content in the "timetracker-add.sql" file and paste it into the Query Analyzer section of your SQL Server Web Admin tool. Click Submit.
  11. Modify the connection strings section of your web.config file.
  12. Add the additional Time Tracker connection string entry below to your web.config file, making the same substitutions as in step 11:
    <add name="aspnet_staterKits_TimeTracker" connectionString="
    Server=whsql-v04.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;
    Database=DB_675;
    User ID=user_id;
    Password=password;
    Trusted_Connection=False" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

    NOTE: The misspelling of "starter" in the value "aspnet_staterKits_TimeTracker" originates from the Time Tracker application itself.

  13. If your existing Web site resides in your hosting account root directory, add the following line of code to the Time Tracker web.config file, between the <system.web> tags:
    <pages styleSheetTheme=""/>
  14. Under the Content section of the Hosting Control Center, click the Directory Management icon.
  15. Click Create Directory. Enter the name of the directory in which your Time Tracker application will reside and select Web and Set Root permissions. Click Continue.
  16. Upload the contents of your Time Tracker application to the folder specified in step 15.
