hi all,

just started using DNN, great app.

i can't seem to "publish" my site to IIS without the following errors. if i run it within VS2005pro, it executes successfully, but for the love of me, can't figure out why it keeps displaying the following messages. ( the 2nd message is when i hit F5 again). I've even gone to the extent to give full perms to the c:\inetpub\wwwroot\dotnetnuke directory. (aspnet user, everyone, etc)

OS: W2KPro, Visual Studio Pro 2005, IIS 6

this is my dev system:

thanks, any help appreciated.

Johnny

Hey there!

I'm new to DNN too and I have the same problem.

Where can I add the hostname of my iis site to http aliases? I can't find where I can do that.

Thank you all, Jože
