It looks like this version of DNN isn't compatible with the IIS7 integrated pipeline.  IIS7 support came in DNN 4.8.0, so if this website is from before then, it won't work on IIS by default.  To get it working, you'll need to create a new Application Pool in IIS, and set its pipeline mode to Classic.  Then assign this application pool to the website you've created.

After you've got it up and running, I'd suggest upgrading to 4.9.1 (for IIS7 support, security, and other fixes).  Of course, make sure to backup everything before trying to upgrade.

Hope it helps,

Hi Oliver I have done as you suggested and here is the error report:

Source Error:

Line 240:            Else

However I think Brian may have hit the nail on the head, the site is DNN 04.04.01! It was my plan to get the site running then upgrade to 4.9. How do I assign an application pool to the website? From what I have read on-line this was sort of the conclusion that I had come to, but again I not sure how to do it.

Thanks inadvance

Chris

Yes, I think he did too. It was quite awhile ago I upgraded my portal, and it was 4.8.0 when I made the switch to win2k8.

Anyways, onto the Application Pools...

  • Open IIS manager
  • Expand your server node
  • Select the Application Pools node

This should show you the current pools configured on your server, I'd create a new pool and then modify the IIS site to use this new pool. You could modify the current pool if you don't have any other websites configured to utilize it. It's really just a personal preference

  • Right Click on the Application Pools node, Select Add Application Pool
  • Name the new pools, select the target framework version (v2), and select Classic as the pipeline mode.
  • Now, Expand your sites node, Left and and select your website node, click Basic Settings from the right pane
  • Click on the Select button next to the application pool textbox, and select your pool from the dropdown menu.

Hopefully this helps somewhat more than my last post did :)

Thanks for your help Oliver, at last the site has loaded, all I need to do now is upgrade the DDN core, I assume that this is best done from the host account in host settings, I seem to remember see a link there is upgrade DotNetNuke.

Thanks again much appreciated.

An upgrade is best done according to the upgrade instructions.  :)
