I have DNN 4.0.3 installed on IIS running Win2003 Server originally as a virtual directory under C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke_2\Website.

I had to create it as a website so our DNS could point to it internally.  So I created a New website (Not Default Web Site) using the IP Address and pointing to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke_2\Website

After the DNS was configured, I got the following message:

Error while processing Windows Authentication
Check your IIS settings. Admin/Security/WindowsSignin.aspx should NOT allow anonymous access.

I took the Integrated authentication off the WindowsSignin.aspx file, but when I log in, many of the containers lose their format (selected skin, whilst others using that same skin container may be fine)

Some of the modules also have stopped working. (e.g.  New Feeds (RSS) / Weather Module (OliverHine) / Open-Events Module (Xepient Solutions) all referencing something similar to: Error message:'\', hexadecimal value 0x5C, is an invalid character. Line XX, position XX)

I was not able to get Windows Integrated Authentication working as a Web Site under IIS.  As a virtual directory, it works no problem.

Even setting the Default Website under IIS to point to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke_2\Website, it still gave me the same problems.

Anyone else ever experience this, or have a solution?

Thank you!

Yes, that option is selected.  Like I said, everything was working fine using DotNetNuke as a virtual direction. (ie http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2 or http://servername/DotNetNuke_2

When I create a website and set the location to C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\DotNetNuke_2\Website (so I can use the IP Address to use for DNS) DotNetNuke to sum it up - breaks.

To illustrate this, I have my Default Website with a virtual directory beneath it called DotNetNuke_2.  If I go to http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2, everything works fine, including AD integration, and the modules that I mentioned in the first post.

If I now point my web browser to http://IPADDRESS, the site comes up, but w/o using Windows Integration, many of the containers lose their formatting and the modules specified in the first post break.  I really don't understand it because they are both pointing to the same directory.

Any other ideas?
