Hi,
I'm trying to set up DNN for a small website to be used by our neighborhood association. I have a 1and1 MS hosting account so I figured I'd give it a try on there. I did the following:

1. Downloaded the install kit
2. Created a blank SQL database on my host
3. Modified web.config to contain the correct connection string
4. FTP'd the install files it to a subdirectory on my host
5. Created an application on that directory
6. Set permissions as outlined in this other thread
7. Ran through the automatic install. (I tried the typical install but it always hung at the database creation step... Automatic was the only way I could get it to work)

I've got a somewhat running site now but when I'm in edit mode, I can't click the down arrows on the individual web parts to access the context menus. I just get the "spinning" animation so it makes it impossible to edit the individual web parts. I found that these problems correspond to entries in the event log. Can anyone help me diagnose? Has anyone at least had some form of success with 1and1 hosting (or am I totally wasting my time?)?

Here's the exception. I'm guessing it has something to do with permission, but I've given the Network Service and IUSR_xxxxxx accounts all the permissions I can using the 1and1 control panel.

I could have sworn it was 3.5, but according to the DNN Dashboard:
Web Server Information:

OS Version: The version of Windows on the server. Microsoft Windows NT 5.2.3790 Service Pack 2

Web Server Version: The version of Internet Information Server (IIS) Microsoft-IIS/6.0

I also saw this on 1and1's FAQ:

MS Shared Hosting
Language	Version
IIS	6.0
ASP	2.0
ASP.NET	2.0
MS SQL	SQL Server 2008

Am I out of luck? IS there an older version of DNN that I could run?

Thanks,
