Hi, I am working on installing DNN 9.1 on a Windows 2012 server .and having a few problems. I am following the instructions here:
http://www.dnnsoftware.com/wiki/how-to-install-dotnetnuke
I coped the extracted installation files to the wwwroot/DotNetNuke folder, and added NETWORK SERVICE modify permissions to the folder.
After a Config error (which was fixed via the Add Roles and Features Wizard), next problem:

Access to the path 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\DotNetNuke.log4net.config' is denied.

For this I copied 'DotNetNuke.log4net.config' from the Config/ folder to the root folder.

Now I'm getting this server error:
Access to the path 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\App_Data\ClientDependency' is denied.

There is no ClientDependency folder in the DNN 9.1 files. I suppose could try to just create one. But I'm wondering what the problem is that is causing me to get these access errors.

Does anyone know?

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks

Tom

Update: I added a ClientDependency/ folder, got another access denied error, and added 'SCTAS51-cf3188cb26e912a5b73d6a922131f5c2-map.xml' (which i copied and renamed from another DNN installation) .
Now I've gotten to the DNN Install process itself. But I'm getting an initial DNN Error
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path 'd:\inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke\Install\DotNetNuke.install.config' is denied.
It appears that the install is attempting to create files but not getting access to the folders. I definitely set NETWORK SERVICE to full control access over all the files/folders.
What else do I need to do?
Thanks!
Tom

OK I think I solved that by setting the Application Pool Identity to NETWORK SERVICE.
Is this the correct way to set up DNN?
Thanks

I think you missed step 5.i in the instructions.

Microsoft moved to the idea of Application Pools and App Pool Identities for greater security. DNN has no opinion what account it runs under so long as that account can access everything it needs.

Use and management of App Pool Identities is just one factor in IIS security. It isn't the full story.
