Hi everybody

After having successfully installed DNN on my local machine I'm trying to do the same on my remote host. I want to install it to a subdirectory "dnn". I uploaded the unpacked Install Package into the subdirectory, created a virtual directory, checked the ASP 2.0 support and changed the web.config.

Now I wanted to call the installation by opening www.mydomain.com/dnn and got a runtime error. I asked my provider for the permissions - following them, everything is fine. They forwarded me the error log entry:

Root element is missing.

Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code.

Exception Details: System.Xml.XmlException: Root element is missing.

Source Error:
An unhandled exception was generated during the execution of the current web request. Information regarding the origin and location of the exception can be identified using the exception stack trace below.

Stack Trace:

Does this mean that there is still a lack of permission somewhere? Or does the main site at root which is running Weblication disturbe DNN? Any other ideas or hints?

Best regards
