I am trying to install DNN 5.1 Source.  I am running Server 2003. I downloaded DNN 5.1, created the folder and copied it over.   Went to the website folder and created the vitrual directory.  I gave the network service full rights to the "website" folder.  I copied over the development.config to web.config.  I added my connection string.  Then I navigated to my virtual directory.  I get the DotNetNuke Installation Wizard - Cersion 05.01.00. So far, so good.

I choose Custom Installation (although I have also tried "Typical" with the same result) and click Next.   Now at "Checking File Permsiions"   I click "Test Permsiions"  The response is "Your site passes the pemissions check." I click Next. Now I see "Configure Database Connection."  I confirm my datasbase settings and click "Test Database Connection.,"   The response is "Connection Success"  I click "Next"

The next screen is the "Run Data Installatin Scripts.  I can see "Instaling Database scripts..."  then it jsut hangs..  I look at the database and no stored prcs or ables are being created.  I look at the event log and se this:

=======================

Any help would be apprecaited.

Thanks

Thanks for the response. My intent is to use DNN as department intranet but at the moment just want to get the source running on my development box.  I navigate to it using localhost/DNN51. 

We have been using DNN 3.x for a while now and I also have a development version of 4.08.04 working (modifed.) However,  last week I thought perhaps I should be using the latest and greatest - whcih at that time was DNN 4.9.4  When I tried installing it I kept having problems.  Then I saw 5.1 released and thought  perhaps the new version will work better.   No Dice.

btw, I have tried installing it a few times, always starting from scratch (and deleting DB.)

Thanks again.

Well Sebastian responded pretty well with the info you supplied. If you need more help you need to supply more specific info I would suggest :).

Thanks...
