and i've looked EVERYWHERE i can think of.... winxpprosp2, sql2005,iis5.1,firefox, virtual dir w/ application settings set, folder security set to asp.net machine account/network services set to full access, folder properties - removed read only, shared folder (tried not shared also) created a new user with asp security policy/user rights assignments,
I've put this in a folder in the C: root drive, desktop, mydocuments, right now it's in wwwroot dir, and couldn't install with UtilDev cassini server either.
data connection works, error message is as follows:
DotNetNuke Configuration Error
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
DotNetNuke has extensive file upload capabilities for content, modules, and
skins. These features require custom security settings so that the application
is able to create and remove files in your website.
Using Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the website (
C:\DotNetNuke by default ). Right-click the folder and select Sharing and
Security from the popup menu ( please note that if you are using Windows XP you
may need to
Enable
Simple File Sharing before these options are displayed ). Select the
Security tab. Add the appropriate User Account and set the Permissions.
If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
- the {Server}\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of
the virtual root of your website
If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and
Change Control of the virtual root of your website
I am absolutely stuck. I installed dnn with UtiDev cassini server, xphome on computer at the office, with success (but bugs) so i have no idea how to do this.
