Hey

I've created a simple DNN 4.3.4 portal using Visual Web Developer 2005 Express and DNN Starter Kit.

From what I understand I have to depoly this DNN project as any other ASP.NET 2.0 projects.

In "solution explorer" in vwd I clicked the "copy website" button and copied the project to a folder on my compuiter. Then I configured a new virtual directory in IIS and set it to point to my DNN project (the copy of the DNN project created by "copy website").  I gave the ASPNET user account full access to the directory.

When I run my project I get this error:

Server Error in '/DeployTest' Application.

1) 4.3.4 is for ASP.NET 2.0.  You'll need to use IIS Manager|virtual website|properties ASP.NET and change it to 2.0.

2) Do you have a web.config in a parent folder?  ASP.NET will use every web.config above your directory (even though it is a virtual folder). A quick check is to rename the web.config in the root then try to acces your site. If something different happens you have an issue with web.config stacking.

I hope this is of some help to you.
