I have IIS 6.0 on Windows 2003 Server Sp1
MS SQL 2000 SP4 nother other instance of SQL or MSDE I ran the SELECT @@VERSION and it came backwith only my instance of SQL.

D:\DotNetNuke folder on my server with NETWORK SERVICE has Full Controll for now (For troubleshooting).
DB Language set to Latin1_General_CI_AI

I have gone over the installation documentation over and over again this is about the 12th time I have tried to install.  I am hoping someone can give me some good results.  Yes I have deleted to database completely between installs.  I have deleted all the installation files before each new install.  I am using the DotNetNuke_3.2.2_install.zip.

PLEASE HELP!!  PLEASE HELP!!  PLEASE HELP!!

Installation Results.

Man you really have had a hard time and I wish I could give you the answers you're looking for, but you know it's hard when you can't actually replicate the error yourself to even suggest -

I've had it happen once, but I can't remember if i clicke the link anyway and there was a site, or not.

When this happens, can you check that it's created the tables in the sql db - after you've done the install.

Did you se this yourself? -  DB Language set to Latin1_General_CI_AI -  Mine is set to SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CP_AS  But that could be because I'm in Australia, who knows, the point is - I'm trying to look for differences, any small difference that could help you out.

Everything else at a glance seems to look correct.

Did you change any other setting at all apart from the connection string?

A few questions, no answers, but that's the best I can do for now, but I'll ask some of the other more experienced SQL guys to look at this thread - since you've got most other things working.

I had the same issue, and I had to try many different things to solve it. That last part of the Portal install depends on NTFS file system permissions to succeed - atleast that's my take on it. I allowed ASPNET, IUSR_ and NETWORK SERVICE full permissions on the physical folder that was mapped to my target DNN virtual dir. And it worked....prior to that, it failed in all cases - and I even used different SQL DB versions (2000 and 2005 Express). Try setting the Full Permission for the ASPNET account first and see if it works...

Yes Nina, I have had a hard time of it. 

All the tables in the database were created each time.  I physically checked.  I deleted the db each time prior to installing again.

I tried the different languages due to another posting here.  I have tried it many times with the default SQL_Latin1_CP1_CP_AS.

NTFS permissions are correct, I have Full right at the moment for all users.  ASP.Net, IUSR_ and NETWORK SERVICES.  They all have full rights to the top level folder as well as subfolders.

I keep trying.  Anymore suggestions from other then what I have tried already would be greatly appreciated.

The Portals folder requires that the user account being used have read and write permissions.  Add these permissions to the Account that is accessing the folder (most likely the Asp.net account).

You can do this my opening windows explorer and right clicking on the portals folder. Select Properties and then the Security tab.  You can then assign the account and permissions.  You may have to turn off simple file sharing to do this.

To turn off simple file sharing:

  1. In windows explorer - Select Tools => Options.
  2. Select the View tab and scroll to the bottom.
  3. Uncheck Simply File sharing.

When complete you can re-enable simple file sharing.
