Well First to I'm totaly new with DotNetNuke. I try to install Dotnetnuke directly in my web server, to this I create a subdomain called dnn.mydomain.com. I download the file DotNetNuke_Community_04.09.03_Install.zip, unzip all the files and upload the files to my FTP to the folder DNN (except web.config) . I create a sql database with my web host provider called DNNTEST. Then I edit the web.config file that comes in the zip file in this sections:

    <connectionStrings>
        <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=DNNTEST.db.4499361.hostedresource.com;Database=DNNTEST;uid=MyUser;pwd=MyPass;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    </connectionStrings>

    <appSettings>

<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=DNNTEST.db.4499361.hostedresource.com;Database=DNNTEST;uid=MyUser;pwd=MyPass;"/>

   </appSettings>

After this I upload the web.config file to my ftp to the folder DNN. I try to enter to dnn.mydomain.com expecting see the install wizard but shows me this error:

Server Error in '/dnn' Application.

Runtime Error

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="RemoteOnly" defaultRedirect="mycustompage.htm"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

Then I tried using these path:

http://dnn.mydomain.com/install/install.aspx?mode=install

but I got the same error.

What I can do???  Please Help ME!!!!

I some need a copy of my web.config let me know.

When I do what you said. I can see the problem. The problem was that my DNN folder dont have write permissions.

Thanxs
