I am seeing similar issue.  I found the 'clue' mikekist mentioned above, in fact found that as an alternative, if you have the ability to login to your server remotely, you can browse to the url in you30's post via a browser on that computer and see the actual errors as suggested in mikekist's post.

I've done that and my issue is surely with web.config as the errors suggest:

Server Error in '/' Application.

==================end of errors

I've looked at IIS, not sure what to do with the virtual directory as suggested in the error doc.  I have DNN 3.x installed in some other domains on my dedicated server, but gotta get by this issue with 4.x.  Running Windows 2003, SQL Express 2005, Asp.Net 2.0.

Clues to pass on?  Much appreciation for fixes.

Well, I've seen this before on a local machine installation when I installed into a virtual directory (which did not include an application pool) instead of configuring the virtual directory as an application in IIS7. I see that you are installing to your webhost site and obviously using a virtual directory instead of your root directory. Your installation (virtual) directory does not have the correct settings to host your install. You might want to check with your webhost to see if it's even possible to configure your virtual directory with application settings.

Good luck,

Mike
