I am new to DNN and need some assistance with getting this program to run on a local server.
I formated my hard drive and did a clean fresh install of windows 2003 web sever., got online and let windows update install the 52updates. I then installed ASP.net v 2.0 and reran windows update and install the 3 updates associated with that. I then downloaded and installed SQLExpress and the managment program. I created a database for the website I want to create and also a new user for the data base and gave the new user database ownership to it. I then created a folder for the files of the new website and then went into its properties, to the securities tab and included Network Services and to the advanced tab and clicked on changing the Network Services to full access to the files and inherited properties to the file system. I then downloaded DNN 4.3.7 install package and unzipped it into the website folder. I verified,by selecting several random files that the Network services did infact still have full access to these files. I then opened web.config in wordpad and edited the connection string to the database.
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=.\sqlexpress;Database=DNNWaterWorld;uid=DNNOwner;pwd=dnnowner;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=.\sqlexpress;Database=DNNWaterWorld;uid=DNNOwner;pwd=dnnowner;"/>
<add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
<add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
<add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
<add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
I go into IIS and create the website, pointing to the correct folder that has the DNN files in it and then click next and finish. I then open the web sites properties up and verify that the folder is correct and that it is using the ASP.net v2.0 and then close out ot properties, so everything should be great....right well to my dismay all I get is.....
