I have just pulled down the source code for Umbraco 4 with TortoiseHg and it builds fine. Then I use the development server in Visual Studio 2010 and I comes to the backoffice log in. So I guess default is the SQL CE database which are used default as data store. I have the problem that I can't open the database inside Visual studio nor Management studio. It tells me that the file is not valid or wrong version? Have I miss understood something?
Is there any particular reason that you have build the source yourself instead of downloading the latest stable build from http://umbraco.codeplex.com/ ?
I'm not sure why the above happens, but if you install Umbraco using the download instead I think you'll be fine unless you of course have done something special with the source code before you made the build.
One of the reasons to I chose to compile the Umbraco source is because in long term I would like to contribute small things to the project. But before contributing with code it would be nice to actually have the CMS running.
The site is running fine (though I can't enter the backend because I don't know if the admin account has a "default" password when getting the source). If I can't fix it I just tries to recreate a database on a Standard SQL server instead and then running from a IIS site.
I just tried to fetch the source for 4.8 and make a local build, but I must admit I can't figure out, which folder the code is being build to (So I can't try installing and see what happens) - can you tell me where to look?
Okay I'm up and running now. In web.standard.config I deleted the value of appSettings "umbracoDbDSN" and "umbracoConfigurationStatus" and then I could run the Umbraco install again. Last I inserted the new info from web.config to web.standard.config so when solution builds it will copy the right settings from web.standard.config.
Good to hear - I got stuck during the build process last night and figured I would sleep on it and then try to carry on. But sounds like you're up and running now :)
Problems with development environment
Hey everyone,
I have just pulled down the source code for Umbraco 4 with TortoiseHg and it builds fine. Then I use the development server in Visual Studio 2010 and I comes to the backoffice log in. So I guess default is the SQL CE database which are used default as data store. I have the problem that I can't open the database inside Visual studio nor Management studio. It tells me that the file is not valid or wrong version? Have I miss understood something?

Hi Jan,

I just hoped to run it out of "source code" :)
Hi Martin
+1 for you wanting to contribute to the core :)

As far I can see they are found here:
Source code -> umbraco -> presentation -> bin
