I am testing DNN Community Edition. I installed on a Windows XP Pro SP2 box, setup IIS, configured NTFS permission, successfully went through the wizard, setup the super user account and portal administrator account. the only part of the wizard that failed was the wizard did not like my SMTP server.

When the wizard takes me to my first portal page I am unable to login using any of the credentials that I created in the wizard (the CAPS lock key is not on). The first few times you try to login it tells you that the UID/PWD is invalid...then after a few attempts it takes you back to the main portal page (not logged in of course). If I scroll down a see a message about if your installation was in auto mode a few default accounts were created (I used a custom installation) and I tried those credentials just in case but nothing.

Please help!!! How do i log in? Can I create a new portal page? How do I change the superuser account with re-installing?

Thank you Chris

Sebastion:

I downloaded the files from dotnetnuke.com...extracted to a folder on my machine, edited the web.config to point to a database which I created in SQL server 2005 Developer Edition which was already installed on my machine, created the login and user accounts in SQL Server.

I then created a new virtual folder under default website in IIS 5.0, the virtual folder was called fireblade and I pointed it to the physical folder where the DNN files were extracted. I didn't change the port number.

Hope this helps.
