I am trying to install DNN on my own web server.

I created a directory on my server:  d:\Webs\DotNetNuke

Setup a new website in IIS using the above as the home directory and it's own IP address:  xxx.xxx.xxx.51

Unzipped "DotNetNuke_4.3.5_Install.zip" into the above directory.

Modified my web.config file connection string to the following:

<connectionStrings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
    --> 
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005    -->
    <add
      name="SiteSqlServer"
      connectionString="Server=10.10.1.3;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword;"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />

  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules 
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=.\SQLExpress;Integrated Security=True;User Instance=True;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|Database.mdf;"/>
     -->
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules     -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=10.10.1.3;Database=DotNetNuke;uid=myuserid;pwd=mypassword;"/>

When I browse to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.51 or http://xxx.xxx.xxx.51/default.aspx I get: HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found.
If i browse to http://xxx.xxx.xxx.51/logo.gif I can see the DNN logo.  The default.aspx file is there as well as all the other subdirectories and files.

Anybody have a clue if I missed a step or am doing something wrong?  The 2.0 framework is installed and I confirmed this in the IIS setup by going to the ASP.net tab and it shows: 2.0.50727.  Default.aspx is in the documents tab as the default content page.

The web server is running Windows Server 2003 SP 1.  The SQL Server is SQL Server 2000.

Please help.

Thanks. Ruben

This might be a shot in the wrong direction but check IIS >DNN virtual directory properties and the "documents tab". I think by default it has only .htm and .asp. Add in Default.aspx to the list. It seems I had this problem at one time.

Found my problem.  Even though I had the 2.0 framework installed.  You have to manually activate 2.0 in web service extensions.
