Hi,

So this is my story.  I have a new domain and want to create a new parent portal. I pointed the domain to the root folder and nothing happens but a Directory Listing Denied Error.

I try to delete the portal and get this:

Error: Portals is currently unavailable.
DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions.ModuleLoadException: Access to the path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\Portals\1' is denied. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke\Portals\1' is denied. at System.IO.__Error.WinIOError(Int32 errorCode, String maybeFullPath) at System.IO.Directory.InternalGetFileDirectoryNames(String path, String userPathOriginal, String searchPattern, Boolean includeFiles, Boolean includeDirs, SearchOption searchOption) at System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(String path, String searchPattern, SearchOption searchOption) at System.IO.Directory.GetDirectories(String path) at DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.DeleteFilesRecursive(String strRoot, String filter) in C:\CCNet_Builds\DotNetNuke_5_Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Common\Globals.vb:line 1593 at DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.DeleteFilesRecursive(String strRoot, String filter) in C:\CCNet_Builds\DotNetNuke_5_Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Common\Globals.vb:line 1598 at DotNetNuke.Common.Globals.DeleteFilesRecursive(String strRoot, String filter) in C:\CCNet_Builds\DotNetNuke_5_Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Common\Globals.vb:line 1598 at DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals.PortalController.DeletePortal(PortalInfo portal, String serverPath) in C:\CCNet_Builds\DotNetNuke_5_Maintenance\WorkingDirectory\Library\Entities\Portal\PortalController.vb:line 170 at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.Portals.Portals.grdPortals_DeleteCommand(Object source, DataGridCommandEventArgs e) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---

I create a new portal with the same domain accessing it and now I can't delete that one either with the exact same error even referencing the other portal.

1. How do I go about deleting these bad portals?
2. How do I properly create a new parent portal?

Hi,

I tried that and still can't delete the portals and get the same error. I really want to setup a new parent portal for another site but don't want to even give it a try till I delete the 2 that are broke.

Again how to I do setup a parent portal properly? Obviously my two prior attempts screwed something up.
