I have SQL Server 2005, Windows Server 2003, and Visual Studio 2005. I have been trying to install the latest version of the DNN starter kit. I finally managed to go through the install and complete successfully. I get it up and can begin configuring the site. There are two weirdnesses during the final steps though. I have to reload the page to see the DotNetNuke site for the very first time and I get failure messages when I create new users but the users are successfully created. Other than these minor errors, everything seems fine but when I quit visual studio and try to go to the site, my DNN site no longer works. This is highly repeatable so it is clear that that either I do not understand how things work, I should never quit visual studio, or I am doing something wrong. Does anyone have any ideas here? This must just be something stupid I am doing. Thanks in advance for any help. I am new to windows servers and visual studio so this is likely just my own misunderstanding of the install process.

OK, I think I can answer about half of my own post now. It appears to be that I was specifying file system instead of HTTP when I installed DotNetNuke. I should have been saying http since I have an IIS server. However, when I use http, then I get an error saying "Visual Web Developer does not support creating web sites on a Sharepoint Web server." I searched the Microsoft forums for the answer to this and it looks like the answer is to manually create the web site on the web server and then do the dot netnuke install. So, what I tried was to create the directory c:\DotNetNuke and create the virtual directory in IIS and then do the dotnetnuke install. That did not have the creation error but was not able to render the site either. I am still working on figuring out what is the right answer. I think it is that I did not get the directory permissions right on my manually set up directories.
