I am currently trying to install DNN 3.2.2 on to a package hosted by 1&1.

Now before everybody tells me to drop 1&1 and go with Tom, Dick or Harry, unless they can better the package I am currently getting.

5 x .co.uk domains
200 external domains
1500 sub domains
unlimited email aliases
connection speed of 18,000 Mbit
6GB webspace
1500 1GB POP3/IMAP accounts
50GB monthly traffic
2 x SQL Server databases

for £16/month I am not interested.

I agree with the numerous postings I have already read that the support 1&1 gives is useless, when ever I ask about DotNetNuke they point me to a webpage that is both missing all of its images, and is obviously well out of date. Also 1&1 refuse to ask their customers who already have DNN running on their packages, to contact me and possibly provide me with some assistance.

So if there is anybodu out there who has successfully installed DNN onto 1&1 could they please drop a reply on this thread. I have fully documented the steps I have already taken, a document that 1&1 appear to refuse to read, and would willingly send it through.

The current state of play is the following message.

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

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

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

Notes: The current error page you are seeing can be replaced by a custom error page by modifying the "defaultRedirect" attribute of the application's <customErrors> configuration tag to point to a custom error page URL.

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

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

to see the error displayed on the page:

  • edit your web.config file
  • search for the text "CustomErrors"
  • when you find it, change it from RemoteOnly to Off
  • then navigate back to your default.aspx page and you will at least get to see the actual error

p.s. get rid of 1&1 hosting

This site is heavy on questions, and lite on answers, usually because of info provided from problem solvees.

but when installing 3.x, this occured (for me) because of insufficient permissions. Make sure your sql user can log in, make sure that has modify permissions.

Problem with using a server farm is that you have to kick some butt to get them to actually give you access to all that's required to get dnn running. If you can get 1&1 to enable client side debugging you'll get better info. The reasons the pros don't respond is that this message is too generic... they need better info.
