Hi,
I am a beginner at all this, but have managed to set up a dotnetnuke site on XP. However when I try to set up a clean instll on windows vista and IIS 7 I continue to run into a variety of errors. As I chane something I get a different error.
the lastest is
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
I ran into this exact problem and though I would share the solution that I found. It turns out that it is a security issue with Vista (at least it was for me). I had my Virtual Directory in a user folder, but "anonymous" users are not allowed to access the user folders. The effect was that IIS could not read the web.config file.
The solution for me was to move the VD to the inetpub folder. Upon doing so the DNN wizard came up as expected and the site set up completed successfully. Now I have a different issue (of course)... When trying to log in or register I get the following error:
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Home/tabid/36/ctl/Login/Default.aspx
Any ideas?!

Error Code: 0x80070002
Notification: MapRequestHandler
Module: IIS Web Core
Requested URL: http://localhost:80/dotnetnuke
Physical Path: C:\DotNetNuke\Website\dotnetnuke
Logon User: Anonymous
Logon Method: Anonymous
Handler: StaticFile
I think for me the reall issue is that I am missing something in setting up IIS 7 and the sql express.
Is there a tutorial for setting up DotNetNuke in Windows Vista and IIS 7 so I can compare my meagre attempts at configuration?
Thanks
Paul
