Hello guys,

My first post here.

I have been looking around at the DNN stuff for a while now, And have decided to give it a blast to see if it can benefit my websites.

But the problem is all my sites so far have used asp and access db's

I am just trying to get a basic install going on my webserver to play around with but I am unable to find any relevant or detailed instructions on this website. And I am still not convinced paying 80 dollars for a book is still going to answer my questions either.

I have a hosting plan that meets the reuirements.

I have plesk 7.6.1 CP

The main problem I have is what details I need to edit in the web.config file as I dont really know what I am doing.

Any ideas?

Or anyone know where I may get some help?

Thanks in advance guys.

Rob

Cheers for the reply.

The company I am using at the moment are not into dnn unfortunately, the use an asp portal and forum.

Although they are developing a .net portal at the moment, I just wanted to get a site up and running with dnn to compare features etc, when there portal comes to life.

If anyone has experience with dnn install using a plesk cp please let me know as I would like to get it up on my own if possible.

I did find this tutorial

http://www.siteground.com/tutorials/dotnetnuke/dotnetnuke_installation.htm#mssql_create

but the images where the detail on setting up the web.config is are too small and I cant read em, (groovey)

and when i contacterd the creator of the tutorial they informed me they no longer support dnn either and hadn't a clue.

So if anyone has super-vison goggle or super-vision googles and can read sub miniscule text that would also be useful.

Cheers Guys.

Rob
