More Information

The following are additional ways to identify the problem:

• The ~privatefile.dbauthentication.config file is missing tags for the Business Portal SQL login user ID and password. This file is created when you install Business Portal. The file will look similar to the following:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <servers>
    <server>
      <name>SQLServername</name>
      <users>
      </users>
    </server>
  </servers>

  Note The ~privatefile.dbauthentication.config file is located in the Bin folder under the Web site folder where you have Business Portal installed. By default, the path for the Bin folder is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\Bin.

• If you double-click the MbfPackagershell.exe file after you click Finish during the failed Business Portal installation, you receive the following error message:
