Hi,

This is the first time I've used DNN for years and I'm having an issue installing it.

I have setup the virtual directory, unzipped the install and created a bland database etc.  when I try to run the site I get the error below, I had set permisions to the folder as the error message suggests, but its still there, any clues?

DotNetNuke Configuration Error

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dnn5\Config\Backup_20104291515\web_.config'.Access to the path 'C:\inetpub\wwwroot\dnn5\web.config' is denied.

Your DotNetNuke installation appears to have a security settings problem (most likely permissions). DotNetNuke has extensive file upload capabilities for content, modules, and skins. These features require custom security settings so that the application is able to create and remove files in your website.

Using Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the website ( C:\DotNetNuke by default ). Right-click the folder and select Sharing and Security from the popup menu ( please note that if you are using Windows XP you may need to Disable Simple File Sharing before these options are displayed ). Select the Security tab. Add the appropriate User Account and set the Permissions.
Your Operation System appears to be Windows Vista
 

  • If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
    1. the [SERVER]\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website.

     
  • If using Windows 2003 - IIS6 or Vista/Windows 2008 - IIS7
    1. the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website.
