Ok, here is the deal. I have a GoDaddy windows hosting account and I have been trying to install DNN. I was successful when I used the GoDaddy quick installation, but it installs DNN v4.9. I plan on making some mods to the source code and developing some custom modules so I want to work with the latest and greatest DNN v5.01.04. I have the site running on my local machine connected to the SQL Server database that I setup through GoDaddy. So this makes me confident that my web.config is gold. When I FTP all my website files up to a sub directory in the godaddy account and set the directory permissions to allow web read and write then I go to the web browser and throw in the web address for my new DNN site all I get is an error message,

In researching CMS systems I have played with DotNetNuke, mojoPortal and Umbraco. I have had all of these apps running on my local machine. For some reason everytime I FTP them up to the GoDaddy I only get a server error message. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the generic error I get that tells you absolutely nothing. I have changed the customerrors value to false in the web.config, but I still get the same error.

Server Error in '/ross/test' Application.

Runtime Error

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

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

This appears to be the exact same error I had yesterday. What I learned was that you will need to go in to your hosting control center and go to File Manager, then check the domain you are working with and set the "Permissions" to "Write".  If you are encountering the same problem that I had, this should fix it.

        Hope that works, Jeff,,,
