Hi,

I installed MSDE on my machine (and use integrated authentication for MSDE), made changes in web.config file to add connection string, and then tried to load http://localhost/DotNetNuke/ page, and it give me this error:

The XML page cannot be displayed

Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet. Please correct the error and then click the Refresh button, or try again later

A name was started with an invalid character. Error processing resource 'http://localhost/DotNetNuke/'. Line 1, Position 2

<%@ Page Language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.Framework.DefaultPage" CodeFile="Defa...
What is wrong with it? Anyone has experienced similar problem?

My machine runs XPSP2, and I am logged on as an non-admin. But I don't think this is the problem. As when I tried to load the page logging as local admin, I got the same error.
 

Anyone has experienced similar problem? Do you know how to fix it? Or where I can get more detailed log?

Thanks.

Thank you very much. That solved the original problem.

Now when I tried to load the page, I got another error. What could be wrong? I am using integrated authentication for MSDE.

Thanks.

I have found a solution for the issue. First follow all the instructions above from the person who mentioned to register .net 2.0 framework with IIS. Second, make sure you have only one connection string active in your .net nuke IIS virtual folder. You can get there by right clicking on your DotNetNuke virtual directory, then go to Properties, then the ASP.NET tab where you can change .net versions, then go down and click the Edit Configuration button, then make sure you remove the connection string that is not needed and just have "SiteSqlServer". This might add a line in your web.config connectionString section saying <remove .........> . You can take it off and just add a <clear/> before your <add name=SiteSqlServer ........ Then just do a http://localhost/DotNetNuke and you should be on your way. Make sure you also had followed the ReadMe.txt in the documentation.
