Error: The web site specified in the path is not a Commerce Server site.
I get this error when I try to run SampleDataImport on the StarterSite.
Error: The web site specified in the path is not a Commerce Server site.
I was was ble to import the catalog from the XML file, but couldnt run this import exe...
site works fine (except when I try and checkout and enter in cc number - doesnt take it and eventually crashes).
mgmt tools all seem to work too.. (catalog, customer, marketing, etc... all work).
I'm running on XP pro Sp2 + various fixes...
any ideas why SampleDataImport is saying the StarterSite is not a CS site? it looks fine in CS Manager MMC too.
any ideas?
thanks in advance,
Nick

Hi Nick,
In the web.config of your site and web services under CommerceServer, appplication, does the value of the siteName attribute match the site name in Commerce Server Manager?
In the starter site web.config do you have a commerceSite configuration section (the element is a case sensitive name)?
Cheers,
Colin
What is the command you are using to run SampleDataImport.exe? It should be:
SampleDataImport.Exe C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\StarterSite
Or replace the path with the actually path to your starter site. If you are doing that then check your web.config and make sure the siteName matches the site name in Commerce Server Manager. SampledataImport looks for the <commerce> element and the siteName attribute of the web.config in the path specified. If the element isn't there or the sitename specified doesn't exist the import utility will think it's not a valid site.
