Hello people, I'm having an issue with a fresh install. Server is a Windows 2003 R2 (64 bit) machine. Just performed a fresh install of the OS, and then a fresh install of SQL Server 2005 (64 bit as well). That all went fine. Now I'm trying to install dotnetnuke and it's kicking out this error (below) when I try to access the page (using http://localhost/virtualdirectoryname). Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong? If I set the permissions on the folder to Everyone having full access, it kicks back with a slightly different message (saying Page cannot be found). Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks,

You do not have permission to view this directory or page due to the access control list (ACL) that is configured for this resource on the Web server.

Please try the following:

• Contact the Web site administrator if you believe you should be able to view this directory or page.
• Click the Refresh button to try again with different credentials.

Internet Information Services (IIS)

I finally got the installer to work (kinda) using the Visual Web Developer 2005 thingy (using SQL Express 2005 now). It works fine on port 2243 with VWD running. With/without VWD running, if i try to access localhost/sitename (the sitename being the name of the virutal directory i set up in IIS admin), it gives the error i mentioned above. Someone must have come across this problem before? I've set up the portal aliases also btw, so 'localhost/sitename' is in there.

I am getting the same page error when accessing the folder. I am using: Windows 2000/IIS 5. Dotnetnuke version 4.3.5 Install.zip

I already did Set File Permissions according to Installation Guide page 12...
Maybe I skipped a step or two?

Please help, thanks.
