I uploaded the DNN source for 04.08.0 to my web site.

After modifying the web.config, which I renamed from release.config I went ahead to install by entering the appropriate url into internet explorer.

The install window came on and i selected Auto Install.  Then it started.  everything was going well but an Error popped up when it had almost finished.  however it managed to complete but with 3 error.

Please help.  The error message referred me to a 04.08.00.log file.

I searched for the file and found one under /providers/sqldataprovider but the file was empty.

Below is the installation report:

Thank you very much Ian.  My db user has OWNER status on the database. 

About applying file system permissions to the app dir.  Forgive me, but I am using a shared hosting service on the Internet..  Do you advice I should request my host to effect these permissions specially for my app dir?

What I am doing right now is to upload the DNN Install files to my web site folder instead of the Source files I used in the case above.  Thank you so far.  any further assistance will always be useful.

 

Keep in the nuke

I have uploaded the DNNInstall files to three separate Internet host accounts.

2 (www.imaginationTools.net and www.platinumsavingsandloans.com ) are with web4Africa. The other (www.e-democracyNow.org) is being hosted by discountASP.net.

Using http://www.imaginationtools.net/Install/InstallWizard.aspx or http://www.platinumsavingsandloans.com//Install/InstallWizard.aspx

This error pops up:



server error in '/' Application
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parser error
Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.

Source Error:

Source File: /global.asax Line: 1





>>>>>>>

Now when it is http://www.e-democracynow.org/Install/InstallWizard.aspx (that is the site on discountASP.net)

I dont get any error message but the status bar simply shows "Done" and the screen is blank.

Permit me to ask.

?? Which is best for installing DNN to a public hosting package (that windows hosting). Is it the DNNInstall, the DNNSource or by any means the DNNStarterkit?

thanks. this is quite long

..forgive me
