Problem installing DotNetNuke_4.3.5_source

Hello all,

I am new to the .net game so bare with me. I am trying to install the DotNetNuke_4.3.5_Source and can't seem to get it to install. First of all, I thought that I followed all the instalation instruction for a local install. I created the database,virtual directory and changes the renamed and chnages the web.config file. I event downloaded the zip file to the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke folder.

When I try running the path http://localhost/DotNetNuke/ I get the following error.

localhost - /DotNetNuke/

[To Parent Directory]

Then I tried running http://localhost/DotNetNuke/Website/Default.aspx and got the following error.

Re: Problem installing DotNetNuke_4.3.5_source

in IIS you need to point your web site / virtual directory to the website folder, where the web.config resides.

Re: Problem installing DotNetNuke_4.3.5_source

Also, the error you received indicates that the site is configured for ASP.NET 1.1. Note that DNN version 4.3.5 requires ASP.NET 2.0.

Unless you need to make changes to the DNN core routines or want to study the framework itself, I would suggest using the install version rather than source version to first get a feel for DNN.
