Here's what I did:

  • Download 4.9.0 Install (9/10/08).
  • Make folder InetPub/wwwroot/dotnuke
  • Copy everything into it from the downloaded Zip.
  • Change Home Directory from an existing installation to the new installation.
  • Navigate to the host (http://myhost.mydom.com/)
  • The Install Wizard started.  YAY!
  • Inside the Install wizard, I went up to the point of selecting modules to make available.  I chose a few that seemed interesting.
  • When I pressed "Next->" it blew up on me!!

Now, here's what I get when navigate to the site's root (http://myhost.mydom.com/):  YUCKKKY!

So... no one else has run into this??

I've tried installing the starter kit - that does nothing useful for me since I don't want to create a module.

Now I'm downloading the source and going to compile the whole thing from scratch.

Ughh.  What a hassle.

Anyone got a clue why building a fresh download would result in errors??  Sure, support is for sale, but that's no excuse for shipping broken software.

"Name 'Config' is not declared - Global.asax.vb

Any clues here?

I am dying here... :-)

Maybe a silly question: are all the oermissions set correctly and according to the Install Document?

This file is definitely worth to be read, even if you are an IT-Expert. I am such a guy and ran into some trouble when i installed DNN first because i said: "hey, i'm an IT-Manager, i DO NOT need an install-guide". Ups, wrong.  ;-)

Since then, i read every install and upgrade guide before doing it. i made 6 or 7 upgrades on my own site and approx 10 installations for customers. No errors since then.
