I installed DNN 4.5.3 on a Vista client (I used the automatic install).

Our server runs Win2k3 and already has an SQL 2000 db.

I copied the folder (c:\dotnetnuke\DotNetNuke Website1) to the Win2k3 web server (c:\inetpub\wwwroot\website1). Of course, this did not work.

Is there something else I need to setup on the web server?

There is the pinned thread on the first page of the install forum which takes up the issue of moving your installation. You're not really providing much information so it's really hard to tell what's going wrong.

Basically, you set up your new installation directory the same as if you were making a new install. You create the directory, configure it as a virtual directory application running under ASP.NET 2.0, and give the NETWORK SERVICE account full permissions (actually I think read, write & modify are all you really need).

You just need to copy or ftp the installation files & folders into the new directory ensureing that your new access URL is configured in the portalalias table of your database. If you are moving the database as well you need to backup then restore your database and modify the connection strings in the web.config file.

Are you trying to install using "source" or "install" installation files? If source you have the "website" directory which is the real virtual directory for your installation instead of the "dotnetnuke" folder.

On your next post make sure you include error messages as well as a description of your install process.

Good luck,

Mike

How do I configure it to run as ASP.NET 2.0? When I right-click on the website in IIS 6 (under Win2k3) and select Properties, there is no ASP.NET tab.

Do you have framework 2.0 installed? I'm sure it installs with w2k3 but just asking anyway. Another question is are you running the x64 version of w2k3?

One possible fix is running the aspnet registration command. If you open a command window. and change directories to "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727" and execute the command: "aspnet_regiis -i" you will reregister ASP.NET and reset the application pools.

I was able to get a little information by a google search on " missing asp.net tab in IIS6" and came up with this:

Thanks, Mike. The aspnet_regiis -i worked great. After running that, the ASP.NET tab appeared and it was set to 2.0 (I individually chose each file in the ISAPI config and changed it before). Then I attempted to bring up the website and the DNN Installation Wizard magically appeared! I think I was on the right track, but it's stalling on the "Configure Database Connection" screen. Here's my web.config if you'd be so kind as to help:

  <connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>

  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules     -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=;pwd=;"/>

    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
    <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" />
    <add key="UseInstallWizard" value="true" />
    <add key="InstallMemberRole" value="true" />
    <add key="ShowMissingKeys" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableWebFarmSupport" value="false" />
    <add key="EnableCachePersistence" value="false" />
    <add key="HostHeader" value="" />
    <!-- Host Header to remove from URL so "www.mydomain.com/johndoe/Default.aspx" is treated as "www.mydomain.com/Default.aspx" -->
    <add key="RemoveAngleBrackets" value="false" />
    <!--optionally strip angle brackets on public login and registration screens-->
    <add key="PersistentCookieTimeout" value="0" />
    <!--use as persistent cookie expiration. Value is in minutes, and only active if a non-zero figure-->
    <add key="InstallationDate" value="6/27/2007" />
  </appSettings>

Using the defaults (Servername=(local), Database=DotNetNuke, and "Run as db owner" is checked), this error appears:

Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 18452
Message: Login failed for user '(null)'. Reason: Not associated with a trusted SQL Server connection.
