Hi there!

I am completely new to the topic and am now trying to deploy my first DNN Website.
I've already come so far to install the site, but the error my browser publishes later on is... confusing.

[UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\DotNetNuke Website\\DotNetNuke.config' is denied.]
   System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) +1971539
   System.IO.File.InternalCopy(String sourceFileName, String destFileName, Boolean overwrite) +488
   DotNetNuke.HttpModules.RequestFilter.RequestFilterSettings.GetSettings() +236
   DotNetNuke.HttpModules.RequestFilter.RequestFilterModule.FilterRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) +271
   System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92
   System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64

Now I can see that the problem might be with the two dashes (since I've already managed to share the DNN-folder), but where do I have to enter the correct location of the DotNetNuke.config (which is in ...Website\Config\DotNetNuke.config)?

A pretty basic question, I imagine. Would be very happy about some help anyway...

Thanks, David

Hi Erik,

it does, that much is clear. While I found a "solution" in a different forum (copying the DotNetNuke.config to the DNN root directory) I am now facing a different problem. That is:

[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.RewriteUrl(HttpApplication app) +378
DotNetNuke.HttpModules.UrlRewriteModule.OnBeginRequest(Object s, EventArgs e) +1172
System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92

System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64

This occurs although I am trying to setup the standard-initial page. Without having coded anything myself (so I can't figure where there should be a NullReferenceExceptoin)...
