I am trying to install DotNetNuke 3.3.4 (straight Install version, not development version) onto my site (hosted by BoundGrid, if it matters to anyone).

I have the files installed what I think to be correctly, and the web.config file set up, the database configured and ready to be installed into (still currently blank, I've checked).

The environment is a 1.1 version Framework.

I am receiving the following error (it's completely stumping me) and I would appreciate any help anyone can provide:

--------------------

Thoughts, anyone?

Ok, I'll give that a shot, thank you. :)

Ok, I almost feel like I'm spamming here, but here's an update on that last error.  I downloaded the source and did a search for the error.  I found it in a couple spots, so I just added some response.write()'s to get some more details.

It's coming from the DotNetNuke.dll file, specifically the ../Components/Providers/Logging/LogController.vb file(WriteLog() method, line 188).  I've narrowed it down to a file that it either can't open or can't create:  \Logs\LogFailures.xml.resources

Upon looking further, I found this code (lines 54 & 55 in LogController.AddLog()):
f = Common.Globals.HostMapPath + "\Logs\LogFailures.xml.resources"
WriteLog(f, str)

It appears that HostMapPath is coming up blank.  So somewhere between the Global.asax code and the LogController.AddLog() code, this is becoming blank (or more likely, it's never getting properly set).

Does any of this sound familiar to anyone?  Is there anything obvious (or not obvious) that I'm missing here, that would cause HostMapPath not to get set?
