Hi everyone,

I have purchased the professional version of DNN for our police Intranet and I am just about to start developing it to replace our existing hotch potch effort.

I have come accross a problem though which may sort itself out by the Autumn but I suspect it wont.

I am working on an internal secure server (Windows 2003R2) This has IIS6 and .Net 2 and SQLserver 2005. I have tried to get 3.5 installed but the way things work in our I.T. department means I have failed for now. I may be able to migrate to server 2008 with its benefits but for now I have to assume I work with what's available.

I have intalled DNN 5.1 which seems to be the newest version that will work without .Net 3.5 but only just. It is installed but very very slow.

What version would you suggest would work well and fast until I get server 2008?

Paul

Many thanks for you reply.

This information will save me days of prodding and poking around. It is interesting to hear you too have performance issues even with earlier versions. I will take a look at DNN 4.9.5 and the links you provided
 
I have not fully committed to the DNN development path yet. I don't want to chase my tail if poor performance is a more general trait of DNN. It seems like a superb solution but I need it to work without too much troubleshooting in the depths of the servers as I don't have the time/resources let alone patience.

I will research the posts now and see where I am going wrong, hopefully 4.9.5 will work.

Good luck kicking SQL2000. I feel privileged with 2005 ;-)
