Hello

I'm a bit new to nuke and website designing, I'm having a few issues developing a release version of my site.

When I build a site as a file system all is fine. Though, when I attempt an http build, configuring IIS as per the manual I am presented with a 'Directory Listing Denied' message rather than the usual install processes.

I tried to work around this by converting my fileystem into a virtual directory, this works as long as the asp.net development server is runs . Presumably there are some binarys that need to be started by IIS when navigating to the virtual directory.

Thanks in advance for your time.

Cheers

Si

the directory listing denied message comes from IIS. Each IIS site has a number of default documents, and when a website is opened without a specified document it searchs for these in order, and if it can't find them attempts to show a directory listing. You can workaround this for now by adding default.aspx as your filename, but I recommend you add it as a default document in IIS (open IIS, right click the website, go to properties, click on the documents tab, press 'add' and give default.aspx as an option)

Thanks for the tip Cathal,

I forgot to mention in my previous post that I had tried something similar to your first suggestion. What I actually did was enable the directory browsing privilege in IIS and then manually steered towards the default.aspx which resulted in:

Error Installing DotNetNuke

Current Assembly Version: 04.03.05

ERROR: Could not connect to database specified in connectionString for SqlDataProvider

Yet if I purposely enter an erroneous connection string in the web.config it will not even get this far, therefore the connection string must be valid to some extent.

This error is presented by the Install.aspx page with a mode=none parameter set after the question mark.

Yet again thank you for your time.

Simon
