Hi guys,
I'm now sick of trying to install latest version of DNN on a test server at my work. My manager wants me to install it on the local test Windows SBS 2003 server (which has a net connection) and check out the features but after trying to follow the guide in url below, I cannot browse to http://localhost/DonNetNuke.

Can someone please help me out with this?
I have IIS6, SQL Server 2005 which also has SQL Server Management Studio Express, Framework 2.0. I am logged on as the local administrator using the username as ‘administrator’ and the test system is called ‘szit-server’ (however when checking the computer name under the Computer Name tab, it comes up as szit-server.szit-server). Local domain name is csl.local.
What I have done so far is:
Downloaded the DNN installation files and extracted them into a folder on the C drive called ‘dotnetnuke’.
Accessed SQL Management Studio Express, right click Databases and selected new database and called it DotNetNuke.
Then opened up IIS Manager and right clicked Default Web Site then clicking on new virtual directory using ‘dnn’ as the alias and virtual directory path is ‘c:\DotNetNuke’.
I have then checked properties of the virtual directory and chosen asp.net version as 2.0 under the ASP.NET tab.
Under authentication methods, I have enabled anonymous access and set the username as CSL\Administrator and inputted my password.
I’ve then gone into the Web.config file and changed the following areas:
connectionString=”Server=szit-server;Database=dnn;uid=administrator;pwd=*****;”
<addkey=”SiteSqlServer” value=”Server=szit-server;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=administrator;pwd=*****;”/>
Please understand that I am a total newbie in this field and am more of a IT tech support person.
I have tried so many times with no luck so have decided to ask you guys for some help.
