Hi,
  I'd like to get some help on this too. I'm new to DNN. I tried to install DNN from the install.zip download. Then, followed the installation guide.
-. I reset all folder permissions to allow full controll for Network Services and IUR account.
-. I recreated the SQL express database and set login account
-. I created virtual directory from IIS to point at the installed file folder, set as application, turn ASP.Net to 2.0. Based on DNN installation doc, it should be ASP.Net 2.0

After all these, when I point browser to the site, it says: "page cann't be found". 
If I turn the ASP.Net back to 1.1 at IIS, then the page shows:
"Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: Unrecognized attribute 'requirePermission'.

Source Error:

Then, I tried a different way, using the starterkit to install and opened the Visual Studio Express to create a website using DNN template. I can browse the site at: http://localhost:1035/DotNetNuke%20Website1/ . It seems worked. This proves to me that the DB link is correct and the file structure is corerct.   However, when I created a virtual directory e.g. site1 from IIS to point at this file folder, it's not working and shows: "Page cann't be displayed".  It's the same folder! Also, if I close the Visual Studio Express, the whole thing stop working.   

I have been struggling with this for 2 days and get nowhere.  Could anyone kindly help?

Thanks.

There are a few things in your comments I cannot put together.  What version of DNN are you running?  Also, what is the actual root of DNN, your DotNetNuke directory or Website1?  (This is the directory where Web.config file resides.)  In addition, if you are using SQL 2005 Express, why are you dealing with the login account?  4.4.1 would use a User Instance with no need to setup a login account.  You could also use Windows Authentication.  On what O/S you are setting this up, XP or Server?  Is IIS and the database on the same box?

Please provide the answers to these questions as your comments span the two branches of DNN and it is not clear which one to diagnose.

Hi,  the version I'm running is DNN 4.4.1.  I installed all DNN files into a folder named: (DotNetNuke Website1), and this is where web.config resides. This will be the root of DNN.  The SQL login account is not used for now.  The DNN is setup on a Windows 2003 server.  IIS and database are on the same box.
After installation, I created virtual directory from IIS to point at the DNN folder (DotNetNuke Website1). Set as applicaiton and set ASP.NET 2.0.  But, it does not work, the browser shows: "page could not be found".  
Then, I tried to use Visual Studio Express to open the (DotNetNuke Website1) folder, then view in browser, it all worked fine. This proves to me that the files and default doc are correct, and the database connection is working. The VS opens/runs at URL:  http://localhost:1035/DotNetNuke%20Website1/  and it show in VS as running on "ASP.NET Development Server".  However, when I go to the virtual directory from IIS pointing at the (DotNetNuke Website1) folder. Set it as application, and set ASP.Net 2.0,  it will not work and browser will show "page could not be found". 
Since I need to move this DNN later, I need to get the IIS virtual directory approach working.

Thanks for the help

I think I see where the confusion is.  This is an area where a lot of people also get confused and tend to say that DNN is difficult to install.  Well, Web applications are complex, including DNN, don't be confused, and basic understanding on how these things actually work together helps a lot.

The message is pretty clear.  The browser, and IIS, cannot find the default page for your site, the message is pretty clear when it says "page could not be found".  I think you are only missing the Host Header definition for the site, or in your case, a virtual directory of some other site.  If you created a virtual dir (Website1?) pointing to the DotNetNuke physical folder, then you need to enter the URL http://whatevertheparentwebsiteis/Website1 in your browser in order to connect to the site (you wouldn't need to include the DotNetNuke directory name).  By the way, regarding the parent Web site of the Website1 virtual directory, does it have a Web site that is already working properly?  What URL do you use to connect to it?  I'm asking because usually you choose to create a virtual directory instead of a new Web Site to take advantage of a domain name that already exists.

See if this makes any sense and post back.  If it still does not work, you will need to add a Portal Alias in the PortalAlias table to match the URL.
