Hi there

Have installed a clean DNN. After a number of installationerrors I have finally finished the installation.
My problem now is that the Portals table is empty - so everytime I hit the default.aspx I am told that there is no portal as the speficied URL.

My question:
How can I create a default portal when I am unable to even start DNN?

Accepted Answer 

An successfull installation always ends with a created portal, if you don't have a portal, then your installation has not finished or was not successfull. I don't know your trouble, but as normally an installation runs in less than a minute assuming a correct server setup, I recommend to start on the beginning.

Thanks. I will try that (again...)

I've already deleted the database once because of a foulty installation.
When I try to run the installationwizard again DNN tells me that DNN is already installed :-)

But I'll give it a go!

Installed the DB once again. It seems to work now.

But... I am unable to log in as either admin or host.

As I understand it from the online tutorials, the default password for host is host... it just does not work...

The default password if you didn't set it in the wizard is dnnhost
