Hi,

I'm having an issue while running the DNN 5 Install Wizard. On the "Configure Host Account" screen,  I have entered my information such as my name and Gmail address and a password and entered "localhost" in the Server Text input box .  When I click "Next" I get the following error:

SMTP Error(s):
There has been an error tying to send the test email. The error is: Failure sending mail.

Seems like there is no other option for me choose other than go back to the previous page or close the browser..

Any comment would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for your comment on this! However, I accidentally close the window and when i try to start over the installation, It gives me this error page. You were mentioning about "IIS Configuration" in other Thread. Could you kindly post your thought on this? Thomas DotNetNuke Error ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Domain Name Windows Server 2008 Does Not Exist In The Database DotNetNuke supports multiple portals from a single database/codebase. It accomplishes this by converting the URL of the client browser Request to a valid PortalID in the Portals database table. The following steps describe the process: 1. Web Server Processing * When a web server receives a Request from a client browser, it compares the file name extension on the target URL resource to its Application Extension Mappings defined in IIS. * Based on the corresponding match, IIS then sends the Request to the defined Executable Path ( aspnet_asapi.dll in the case of ASP.NET Requests ). * The aspnet_isapi.dll engine processes the Request in an ordered series of events beginning with Application_BeginRequest. 2. HttpModule.URLRewrite OnBeginRequest ( UrlRewriteModule.vb ) * The Request URL is parsed based on the "/" character * A Domain Name is constructed using each of the relevant parsed URL segments. Examples: URL: http://www.domain.com/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com URL: http://209.75.24.131/default.aspx = Domain Name: 209.75.24.131 URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx = Domain Name: localhost/DotNetNuke URL: http://www.domain.com/virtualdirectory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/virtualdirectory URL: http://www.domain.com/directory/default.aspx = Domain Name: www.domain.com/directory * Using the Domain Name, the application queries the database ( Portals table - PortalAlias field ) to locate a matching record. Note: If there are multiple URLs which correspond to the same portal then the PortalAlias field must contain each valid Domain Name in a comma seperated list. Example: URL: http://localhost/DotNetNuke/default.aspx URL: http://MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke/default.aspx URL: http://209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke/default.aspx PortalAlias: localhost/DotNetNuke,MACHINENAME/DotNetNuke,209.32.134.65/DotNetNuke Note: If you are installing the application to a remote server you must modify the PortalAlias field value for the default record in the Portals table according to the rules defined above.

reunzip all files. If you are using Express database connection, otherwise delete your database and recreate a blank one.
