I've just installed DNN 5.1.4 but I cant view default.aspx page.

Before I installed dnn i placed a test.html page there which worked ok.

Now, I have successfully installed DNN (gone through entire process, set up SMTP settings and everything).

But when I go to my local IP address/default.aspx I get an Internet Explorer 403 error message.

(I have added Default.aspx to the documents list in IIS too).

any ideas?
thanks.

I messed around with adding more permissions, but then our site just kept redirecting to the /install folder.

I think this may be related to the wrong framework?

- We are using v2.0.50727 in IIS (but I believe DNN 5.1.4 requires v3.5).

We have version 3.5 installed on the machine, but there is no aspnet_isapi.dll file for v3.5 (so unable to select it in Web Service Extentions).

We have another DNN site (v5.1.1) and I have tried to mirror all the settings (e.g. using framework v2.0.50727 in IIS, but in our host settings for this site - it says we are using framework v3.5) - yet this one works ok!

:- I am going to start again and install 5.1.1 instead of 5.1.4 (can't go much higher than this due to using sql2000).

just solved this particular issue.

the main problem was the Poratl Alias in the SQL table PortalAlias was set to /install.
changed this to the external IP and now I can view the default DNN page.

although - it's not letting me login as host or admin (even though I have entered details correctly).
