Hi,

Being completely new to DNN, I read quite a bit about installing it and I recall several places where the installation to root was strongly advised against.

With a week's experience under my belt, it seems to me the above recommendation may well have applied to a dedicated server environment where they were refering to wwwroot and not a shared environement as in an appropriate sub-directory.

I could not understand the original suggestion either but I almost always bow to real-world experience rather than theory and will accept the error is on my part.

Now, what do I need to do to transfer my installation to root? Another #$@#$ 2 days googling I guess.

OK - I have moved DNN to the root directory.

Now, my two web services are stuffed >

Server Error in '/keys' Application.

That's refering to the root of a drive, not the root of a web site.  Two different things that just happen to sound like the same.

Your error comes from one of two things.  Either the DNN files were not correctly installed in the root of your site or the file/folder permissions were incorrectly set.  Note that you can't just copy an exiting configuration to a different folder without changing a lot of configuration items that were set at install.
