Hey guys,

I have downloaded DotNetNuke and I am currently trying to install it on my web hotel (hosted by www.unoeuro.com). I am following a guide hosted on bestwebsites.co.nz but even though it is a nice guide, I am experiencing some problems (check out the guide at http://www.bestwebsites.co.nz/dotnetnuke/how-to-install-dotnetnuke-on-a-hosted-server/). I have uploaded all the files through FTP and I have configured the web.config file. But I keep getting this error message:

Server Error in '/' Application.

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>

This is the connection string in my web.config file:

    <connectionStrings>
        <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express
        <add
          name="SiteSqlServer"
          connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
          providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> -->
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=sonic.worldispnetwork.com;Database=Koebman_DotNetNuke;uid=Koebman_DotNetNuke;pwd=*****;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>

I have also updated this string:

    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=sonic.worldispnetwork.com;Database=Koebman_DotNetNuke;uid=Koebman_DotNetNuke;pwd=*****;"/>

I think I have entered the right information. Do you guys know what could be the problem?

I hope you can help me. Thank you in advance!

Okay, so I set customErrors to Off and get a new error message. This one:

Server Error in '/' Application.
Access to the path 'd:\web\localuser\koebmanden.com\dotnetnuke\\DotNetNuke.config' is denied.
Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:\web\localuser\koebmanden.com\dotnetnuke\\DotNetNuke.config' is denied.

ASP.NET is not authorized to access the requested resource. Consider granting access rights to the resource to the ASP.NET request identity. ASP.NET has a base process identity (typically {MACHINE}\ASPNET on IIS 5 or Network Service on IIS 6) that is used if the application is not impersonating. If the application is impersonating via <identity impersonate="true"/>, the identity will be the anonymous user (typically IUSR_MACHINENAME) or the authenticated request user.

To grant ASP.NET access to a file, right-click the file in Explorer, choose "Properties" and select the Security tab. Click "Add" to add the appropriate user or group. Highlight the ASP.NET account, and check the boxes for the desired access.

Source Error:

An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

There's just one weird problem: There is no file named DotNetNuke.config in the root directory. So why does the system want to access it?

You've got a problem with file permissions.  The ASP.NET user needs full permissions to all of the files in your web directory.

Hi, you didnt follow the guide :)  You missed step 3, give access rights.  The dotnetnuke.config file does not exist, because DNN is trying to create it, and does not have write permission (because you missed step 3).
