Ok so I was nearly finished a post about my problem in more detail, when the post screen tried to refresh. Frustration? Sure, I'll take some valium with that.
Anyway, here's the nutshell version. Installing DNN for a client, via Wizard on a Verio VWS, went smoothly. Using an approot of /site. Upon viewing http://.../site, it redirects to /site/install. Viewing /site/install/InstallWizard.aspx shows a dandy "DNN is installed" message.
Running a curl -i http://.../site yields this (302 redirect, then an error; which of course you can't see when you view the live site):

Does anyone have any idea what's going on here? I've searched high and low for similar problems but with no results whatsoever.
Someone please save my desk from having my head thrust through it!
