Hi there,

I am a complete newbie but was thrilled to install all OK, and received the message that my website was currently unavailable (under construction) so i thought I was home and dry. However, on trying the address http://localhost/dotnetnuke/ I receive the following error message -

Compiler Error Message: BC30451: Name 'Config' is not declared.

Source Error:

 
Line 66:         Private Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
Line 67: 
Line 68:             If Config.GetSetting("servername") = "" Then
Line 69:                 ServerName = Server.MachineName
Line 70:             Else

Source File: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\App_Code\Global.asax.vb    Line: 68
 

Please - does anyone have a quick fix for me. I'm tired and confused and feel (generally) let down by the promises of 'easy installation'.

Many thanks

Steve

I don't think it should have gotten this far without one but verify that you have a web.config in your DNN directory.

Hi Mike - I'm tempted to worship the very ground you walk on. How on earth did you know this?? I edited the web.config file using notepad and it left it as a text file. Hence, the programme didn't find it I guess.

Many thanks indeed!

Steve
