Micheal,
Despite all the help and guidance, I have not been able to setup DNN on godaddy.
I have done exactly what you and others have mentioned in the forum.
Here is a brief of what I have done -
1. got dnn version 4.3.0
2. extracted to local hard drive
3. created sql server database in hosting manager
4. got the d/b and server name information
5. updated the web.config file on local drive with connection string (as below)
6. uploaded complete extracted directories to my root account (/myname)
7. created 5 virtual folders in hosting manager (bin, portals, desktopmodules, install and config) with the permissions as you specified
8. copied siteurls.config (in config folder) to the root
10. now instead of runtime error I am getting the permission denied error (Error 1 below)
11. Immediately after that if I navigate to the url www.mywebsite.com again, I get Error 2 (below)
12. Checked the database. It creates just one table (Version) and that is blank, no entries.
13. Should I include or not include providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" with the connection string ?
Where am I going wrong ? This is my third day....any and all help is appreciated !
Thanks!
