I'm trying to do a manual install on a shared server at godaddy.com.  (They offer DNN as a "value application" which they will install for me, but there are some issues that I ran into with that.)

I started by creating a virtual directory called "dnn2" with all of the correct permissions (read, web, write and set root).  Then I uploaded all of the DNN 3.2.2 files to this folder.

I then created the database as instructed.

I changed the name of the file "release.config" to "web.config".

In "web.config", I've updated the line...

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=whsql-v06.prod.mesa1.secureserver.net;Database=DB_34603;uid=myusername;pwd=mypassword;" />

...where "myusername" and "mypassword" are the correct values.

At this point, I should be able to point my browser to http://www.mydomain.com/dnn2 (where "mydomain" is my website URL) and the installation should run.  However, I get this error...

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

I would be grateful for any help I can get on what to try next!

SUCCESS!

I was able to get it installed after much blood, sweat, and tears.  I gave up installing DNN 3.2.2 and went for 4.0.2 instead.  That meant changing my server's ASP.NET version to 2.0 instead of 1.1.

Once I did this, I was able to get specific error messages which helped immensely.  I still had some problems with the web.config file for awhile, but eventually figured it out, though I still couldn't tell you what exactly I was doing wrong.  Guess I hit upon success with some perseverance, dumb luck, and God's mercy!

DNN 4.x requires ASP 2.0.  However, is your site still running smoothly?  I got an install to work for about 24 hours before losing all my work due to a problem with Godaddy hosting operating in medium trust only.  I'm stuck at 3.x until someone finds a work-around or I change providers.
