I'm still having no joy in getting DNN 4.8.2 setup in a web farm environment. Essentially I have a directory share setup on our file server and will have 2 load balanced servers pointing to the share.

I have installed the DNN code on the file server and only setup the virtual directories on the 2 web servers. I have changed the webconfig to have webfarmsupport enabled as well as persistent cache. What confuses me is the MachineValidationKey setting which is set to

AutoGenerate,IsolateApp

but the config file clearly states that it should NOT be set to this if using web farms! So what do I set it to. The documentation is even more confusing as it says in Step 3 that all servers must have the same machinevalidationkey and machinedecryptionkey - how do I do that when the site is installed on a file sever and not on the local servers? There is only a single web.config file.

Confused!!! I am sure this is what is causing my problem as I cannot even get to the install page

You have a slightly different web farm setup in that you have a single DNN installation fronted by two separate servers.  Normaly each server has a separate DNN installation, pointing to a single shared database.  In essence, you only have a single application and can probably treat DNN as if it was a single application.

Though I've never done this so I may be way off base.
