ok – lets go back a few steps
** you should as a rule never use your default webserver instance for anything
– small business server used to have an annoying habit of stuffing elements in there.
** you should always define explicit bindings for each web server – domain and port
** you should not use \inetpub\wwwroot or any subfolder below it
===========================================================
1. on any machine:
open the cmd line
>> ping aciis.argosy.local
and make sure you get the correct ip address or
>> nslookup aciis.argosy.local
2. on your iis server
your can create a folder anywhere – but for consistency
lets call it \inetpub\dnn - note it does not even need to be in \inetpub\ but for consistency lets put it there.
unpack the DNN INSTALL.ZIP contents into this folder.
3. create a new user account on your server and call it dnn_APPPOOL
( not a virtual folder of your default web )
( not a sub folder of \inetpub\wwwroot )
assign it to its own application pool
make sure the application pool is asp.net 2.0 integrated
point the folder for this web server to \inetpub\dnn
and set its bindings to aciis.argosy.local port 80
you do NOT want to use the default bindings – too many other things can clash with them especially in sbs land
you want to set up explicit binding directly to a domain name.
make sure default.aspx is the default document for this web server.
5. in your application pool
assign dnn_APPPOOL as the user identity.
6. in the security settings for the folder \inetpub\dnn
assign dnn_APPPOOL full access rights to the folder and its descendants
7. you should now be able to open a web browser on any computer inside your local domain and type
You can edit your web.config file and setup your sql settings before running this depending on how you feel
but most people find it just as easy to let the installer handle this process.
note - i would have thought that a pointer to a smtp server should not resolve to 127.0.0.1
SharepointSMTPServer Host (A) 127.0.0.1 static
would have thought it should be something like
SharepointSMTPServer Host (A) 192.168.221.5 static
9.
the same would go for the smtp mail server – which dnn is going to ask you for during setup.
mail Host (A) 192.168.221.5 static
or some such – assuming exchange is running on your sbs server.
ps - there is a reason why people call in a specialist to build these sort of things.

DNS runs on my SBS domain controller.
My local domain looks like this:
Name Type Data Timestamp
_msdcs
_sites
_tcp
_udp
DomainDnsZones
ForestDnsZones
(same as parent folder) Start of Authority (SOA) [378], acsbs.argosy.local., hostmaster.argosy.local. 10/14/2010 2:00:00 PM
(same as parent folder) Name Server (NS) acsbs.argosy.local. 1/30/2011 7:00:00 PM
(same as parent folder) Host (A) 192.168.221.5 1/30/2011 7:00:00 PM
aciis Host (A) 192.168.221.6 1/28/2011 3:00:00 PM
acsbs Host (A) 192.168.221.5 2/1/2011 8:00:00 PM

SBSConnectComputer Alias (CNAME) acsbs.argosy.local. static
SharepointSMTPServer Host (A) 127.0.0.1 static
Sites Alias (CNAME) acsbs.argosy.local. static
------------------------------
The three servers are acsbs, aciis, and acsql
IIS is bound as *, 80, *
I have tried having the DNN files in a virtual directory and in the root (inetpub\wwwroot) of Default Web Site
If I use a virtual directory, the extrenal site displays the Under construction page, and I have verified it's coming from this IIS by chaninging some of the colors.
But, when I add "\dotnetnuke" to the external URL, it gives me a 404 error.
When I don't use a virtual directory and put the DNN files straight into the wwwroot, I also get the 404 error.
the Default Web Site also has a Virtual Web for C:\WINDOWS\web\tsweb, and that works. |
