I've looked around for this answer but haven't come across it yet;
I've installed 4.3.4 Starter Kit. Then in VS2005, I do the F5 build. I then get this msg:
DotNetNuke Configuration Error
Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
DotNetNuke has extensive file upload capabilities for content, modules, and skins. These features require custom security settings so that the application is able to create and remove files in your website.
Using Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the website ( C:\DotNetNuke by default ). Right-click the folder and select Sharing and Security from the popup menu ( please note that if you are using Windows XP you may need to Enable Simple File Sharing before these options are displayed ). Select the Security tab. Add the appropriate User Account and set the Permissions.
If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
- the {Server}\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website
If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website
I've gone to the root folder of the website ( C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke Website ) and added the User Account and set the Permissions.
What am I missing???
I'm guessing I installed the Starter Kit correctly because I can right-click the web folder
in the Solution Explorer Window and "Add new Item" and a popup window gives me more options
to choose from. I see a module template and skin template (select the VB option) so the Starter Kit
should be successful.
My Computer configuration:
XP PRO SP2, IE6 SP2, VS2005, SQL Server 2005 (Standard Edition), ASP.NET 2.0 (v2.0.50727) IIS 5.1
Thanks.
