Okay so here is my situation

Dotnetnuke is installed in C:\DotNetNuke folder of my computer.

IIS is configured to open it thus http://localhost/DotNetNuke opens up the site which means installation is complete.

I don't know the admin password or host password as I didnt install it and thus do not know how to proceed to create modules within this location.

My problem is I want to create some modules which depend on a database of a different server.

a) Can I create a website based on dotnetnuke platform at some x location of my computer as the template is available in Visual Studio 2005.

If yes how do I do that, what I mean is what all do I have to configure like IIS Server and all?

Cause if I can then I can create my modules within this website ?

I am using Visual Studio 2005 and SQL Server 2000

Please help me I am going mad trying to figure out how do I do this.....................

Hi,

I read the module documentation Part 1 but I don't understand why didn't he use the module template  which comes with the dotnetnuke framework

to create the module in his survey example.

Also is it possible for me to install a new version of dnn on some other location of my system. Do all the settings with SQL Server 2000 like create a new database as well as create a new virtual directory in IIS while letting this old version to remain in its path.

Do u think it will create some kind of conflict.

Thanks for all the help.

Hi,

Okay so I have unzipped the DNN Framework to this location C:\Website\DotNetNuke

Now when I go to C:\Website and rt+Click and say Properties\Security and try to add ASP.NET Machine USer

it doesn't let me.

I have the previous version at this location C:\DotNetNuke and the ASP.NET Machine Account has permissions on it.

Should I remove the  permissions from this account and then add it to my new location.
