I'm having an issue with moving a converted DNN site (now version 7.0) to a web server running Windows Server 2008 R2 and IIS 7.5.

I've copied the website folder from the old server to the new server with no issues.  I've assigned Full Control security permissions to the IIS 7.5 application pool, running .NET 4.0 in Integrated Pipeline mode, to the website folder.  I've configured the website in IIS 7.5 to use the correct application pool.

When I go to browse the site, I am receiving an HTTP 404.  The site should be able to bring up the Default.aspx page - but it doesn't.

In IIS 7.5, I go to view the Default Document feature for the site and I receive the following message box:

There was an error while performing this operation.

Details:

File: \\?\C:\ActiveWebsites\ArizonaDeMolay\...

Error:

It appears that IIS 7.5 is not able to read the web.config file from the converted DNN 7.0 site.  When I go to the Configuration Editor for the site in IIS 7.5, I receive the following message:

The data is invalid (Exception from HRESULT: 0x8007000D

Can anyone please explain what to do about the above issues? I'm not entirely sure why the error would occur; I've got another DNN 7.0 site running on IIS 7.5 and didn't have these issues.  I'm guessing that the web.config is missing a configuration item, but I don't know what it is.

Please help! Thanks!

Todd,

does the user that runs the associated AppPool (e.g. "IIS AppPool\ASP.NET v4.0") has the necessary permissions in the file system and database?

Also check this: Using Internet Information Services Manager, open Sites, and mark the web site. Double-click "Authentication" (in the IIS section) and check if Anonymous Authentication is enabled. If yes, click Edit, and thange the user identity for anonymous users from the default value (something like "IUSR") by using the other option ("Application Pool Identity").

Best wishes
Michael

Thanks, Mike - the user that runs the IIS application pool does have Full Control over the folder permissions for the website. It doesn't need the access to the database as it is an application pool and not a domain\user account.

Everything under the IIS section for the website returns this error:

There was an error while performing this operation.

Details:

File: \\?\C:\ActiveWebsites\ArizonaDeMolay\...

Error:

Which, compared to the Configuration Editor, leads me to believe that the web.config file is corrupted in some way, even though I've checked the file in both Notepad and XML Notepad.

I'm thinking of using another web.config file from a different DNN 7.0 site on the same server, changing the values to match the values for the problem site, and then seeing if that works...

Well - I was able to do a couple of things...

1) I used a web.config from another DNN site (where there was no issue with IIS 7.5) and changed the values in that web.config to the problem site's values and I was able to get to a point where the Under Construction page came up.

2) I verified that the SQL Database had the correct user and password. I verified the permissions to the file system for the IIS Application Pool was Full Control.

3) After verifying the DNN site was fully upgraded, I reset two configuration parameters (regarding the AutoUpgrade and UseInstallWizard) to false.

I was then able to access the problem site on the new server with no issue. Not entirely sure what the problem was with the old web.config file, but it looks like all is well now.
