Hi everybody,

   I just unpacked the Source Package, and create a DotNetNuke Website project, what's next? There are errors like in Default.aspx.

1. Element 'Form' is not a known element. It points to this piece of code...

    Code:

    <dnn:Form id="Form" runat="server" ENCTYPE="multipart/form-data" style="”height: 100%;">

<asp:Label ID="SkinError" runat="server" CssClass="NormalRed" Visible="False"></asp:Label>

<asp:PlaceHolder ID="SkinPlaceHolder" runat="server" />

<input id="ScrollTop" runat="server" name="ScrollTop" type="hidden">

<input id="__dnnVariable" runat="server" name="__dnnVariable" type="hidden">

</dnn:Form>

2. Unrecognized tag prefix or device filter 'asp'.

   Code:

    <asp:placeholder id="CSS" runat="server"></asp:placeholder>

3. When I click to view the Design part of default.aspx.

   Error creating control -Form   

Unable to cast object from type 'System.Web.UI.Design.IntrinsicControlDesigner' to type 'System.Web.UI.Design.ControlDesigner'. 

4. Others more.

Can anyone tell me what to do?

After this, which document pdf or links should I start reading to be able to use dotnetnuke?

Another thing, I like to use the default sql 2000 database and like to use created database and not "dotnetnuke" database which is to be created. Is that ok?

Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the reply, Availlancourt.

I tried to use dotnetnuke, so install source package, Is install package is also in source package. I have set
virtual directory to where the dotnetnuke\website is located and rename the release.config to web.config. Now I
am getting this error telling Assembly number does not match Database version, try to open default.aspx in a
browser. Where is the source of error and how can I fix this? Thanks in advance.

http://localhost/dotnetnuke_2/website/default.aspx

I tried using DotNetNuke where I select a Personal Website template, in the Photos, this error appears, after I add a Gallery module on the right side pane of this page.

A critical error has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

What does this means, where is source of error? Anybody? Thanks.
