I'm hoping I could get some help with my installation.

I have the following setup:

DNN 4.8.x

CrystalTech Hosting
Intermediate Hosting PLan:
SQL Server 2005
ASP.NET 3.5

I have done the folllowing:
*Downloaded the "Install" package of DNN 4.8.x
*Opened full permissions for ASP.NET
*Changed the web.config file to the following:
*Deleted the 2 SQL Server Express sections
*Moved the --> tag to follow the SQL Server 2005 tag under connection settings and appstrings
*Entered in the appropriate DB information, so that my config file reads as follows using servername as Server value, dbname as Database value, userID as uid value and password for pwd value:

<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 -->
<add
name="SiteSqlServer"
connectionString="Server=servername;Database=dbname;uid=userID;pwd=password;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
</connectionStrings>

<appSettings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules -->
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=servername;Database=dbname;uid=userID;pwd=password;"/>
        
*I then went through the entire DNN setup on my domain, and when it finished I got a "Server Error in '/' Application. Runtime Error" message.

Does anyone know how to fix?

P.S. I don't know how to set custom errors on my web.config file.

Thanks

P.S. I don't know how to set custom errors on my web.config file.

You need to edit web.config and change this (case sensitive) setting

customErrors mode="Off"

This will display the actual error instead of a generic message for testing. Note that it should be set back to "RemoteOnly" for normal use or your site will show to much information to the public.

Post the actual error here and we'll try to help.

Thanks for the reply Dwayne, but all is well. I decided to go to bed (frustrated) last night. But I woke up this morning and it was actually working. Perhaps it was an issue with my host, as I had redirected my domain name to the new host within the last 24. In any case it works now, so I'm a happy camper! :)

I had thought my issue might have been ASP.NET 3.5, but I guess that isn't the case - do you know if I am going to have any issue running this version of ASP.NET with my DNN version?

Thanks Again!

I do not know what OS you are using.  Ther must be setting different users to be the OS.  For all the IISUser... (Anononymus User) must have read permission to all Files and folders.

For the Application process you need for the ASP.Net access the username what is setting in the applicationprocess.

In Windows 2003 Server it is Networkservice or a WP_User.

For XP it is the ASP.Net User. 

After a failed Installation you have setting back the database (on upgrade restore a backup, on new install make the Database new.).

You find some Manuals here http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Documentation/tabid/478/Default.aspx-
