OK, I have the basic DNN site up on the ISP, I can login both as host and as admin, but practically nothing else works.

I can't create a new page -- CRITICAL ERROR

I can't click setup for the Reports Module -- CRITICAL ERROR

Practically everything I try -- CRITICAL ERROR

My log file has about 200 red lines in it (I'm not bright but real tenacious, LOL)

Should I move to a different ISP or what?

 I can usually see the error logs.  Each of them is a full page of run-on sentence fragments that make no sense to me whatever.  Sometimes I can't see the error logs; when I click on "Site Logs" I get:

An error has occurred.

The host does it.  At setup time, it passed the Permissions check.  I think I'll change hosts.
