Hello.  I downloaded DotNetNuke 4.8.4 Source package.  I have attempted to install it, but I am stuck in the step where I am supposed to browse to http://localhost/DotNetNuke to begin DNN installation.

When I browse the path above I get the following message on my browser page:

The website declined to show this webpage
 HTTP 403 
   Most likely causes:
This website requires you to log in.

I saved the DNN Source files in my root directory.  I then created a virtual directory in the Default Website as the instructions indicate.  I am not  sure I am receiving the error and how to resolve it. 

Can anyone please help shed some light?

Thanks -

Did you set correct permissions on the folder?  Is IIS set to Windows authentication?  Is Default.aspx a default document for the site?

Also, is there already a site there or is this entirely new?  Did you configure your VD as an application and provide the necessary settings?

check the following steps, I hope it will work:

1- go to your IIS and right cliick on the folder of your website and check the asp.net tab and insure that there is asp.net version as 2.0.5... . if it's not then you have to install asp.net again with this code: %systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe /i              in the command prompt.

2- go to Inetpub folder and then wwwroot and right click on the folder of your website and in the security tab add the aspnet permission with full control permission.

3- go to web.config file and check this things: a) if you're going to work with sql server 2000 or 2005 be sure that the connection string are set correctly.

                                                                                   b) be sure that the <UseInstallWizard> value is set to false.

4- in your iis right click on your website forlder and check that in the property - directory tab - Execute permissions is set to Scripts and Executables.

5- in iis - your website folder  - property - documents tab be sure that there is a default.aspx as enable default document on the top, if not you can add it mannualy by clicking on add button and typing "Default.aspx" and then transfering it to the top of the others.

regards,

Hooman

Thanks for all of the responses.  I am not getting the error below.  Has anyone seen this and been able to resolve it?  Thanks -

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
