Hi,

I have a terrible web.config error so that it does not explain the error even I set the customerror tag to "off" mode. I don't have any clue about what is wrong. Let me explain what I have done:

I have unzipped the files to a directory under wwwroot directory (that is c:\inetpub:\wwwroot\web\mydomain\)

I have created a web site (www.mydomain.com) on IIS 6.0 and pointed towards the directory above

I have created a database on SQL Server (another machine) namely DotNetNuke and created a user having database administrator authorization.

I have configured the web.config file such that the SQl Server Connection is set.

I have upgraded Framework 1.1 to 2.0 by Windows Update

And finaly I opened my domain on a remote client and it did not opened well. It opened this error

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Even I set the customerrors to "off" it did not changed.

Where may I do wrong. Please help me. I am working on this error for a long time with having nothing.

Hi again,

I am really in trouble. Maybe you will say "you have to learn asp.net, database, IIS, so on". This is not the case instead, I have been making web sites over asp.net with C# language and using MSSQL by myself for at least 3 years. This is first time I met with DotNetNuke and I need help.

Please help me to find the solution.

Thank you.

I have solved the problem. IIS was automatically set to Framework 1.1 That's why I set it to 2.0. First it didn't work but I restarted the IIS and it did work. But I have more and more problems still could'nt install DotnetNuke. It is very difficult to install it completely I will ask my problem in another topic.

Your best bet would be to go to the local machine where you have DNN installed and run it from IE there.  You will then get all of the information you need without changing anything else.
