Hey everyone,

    I have been trying to get my IIS 6.0 and DNN to work for some time now and I can't.   I'm getting very frustrated with it and I seriously need some herlp.

    I went through and setup IIS for a new site:

IIS Manager Window

IIS Properties - Web Site

Whenever I go to view my page on my server using http://localhost/DNN TEST/  , I get the following error:

The page cannot be found

The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.


Please try the following:

  • Make sure that the Web site address displayed in the address bar of your browser is spelled and formatted correctly.
  • If you reached this page by clicking a link, contact the Web site administrator to m doing wrong?

Couple of things I would do differently here.

1) I think using http://localhost/whatever.aspx is going to direct IIS to look in the wwwroot folder of Inetpub for this website so you may want to create a new directory there and try the install again.

2) If you want to proceed with the site in the location where it is presently at, your going to need to add a host header record and set up DNS on your internal network to point to the site.

Sorry to jump in here...But Paul, all of my developers have local versions of our DNN app (using the same code base from SVN) and using localhost (with ports for different portals) and everything works just fine.

We have about 20 portals and then can all run under localhost with no host headers just different port numbers. (localhost, localhost:8080, localhost:9500...etc).  Can add new port numbers through the host header screen so you can have multiple portals running off the same website instance or you can just make new websites per portal.

Looks like you are running under 2003 server?  Check your "Web Extensions" folder under the website folder.  Make sure that "*.aspx" extensions are "enabled".  That one got me frustrated!

I assume since you can't get to the site, you haven't actually "installed" the DNN app.  Then it is probably the Web Extension problem.

Hope that helps!

LOL!  Ok, I know why it is not working for you...Check all of the things I said above that still might be an issue.

But the thing that is stopping you right now is that you have 2 websites running on port 80.  The "Default WebSite" and your "Test DNN" website.

You have to stop the Default Site and it should be ok.

Right click it and "stop"

or just add a host header record...that's what it's there for.
