Further to the above post, I have since tried the above and created a new virtual directory in IIS (in our existing website folder)

.........................................................................................
<b>Configuration Error </b>

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

I think there is a conflict with my webconfig and another webconfig file on the same machine. It references C:\Inetpub (above), but mine is on E:/drive (it used to be on C:/Inetpub on former developmnet server)

Anyone know how can I avoid this conflict please?

Thanks Jeff,

Our DNN installation sits next to our existing website (on our E:/ drive)

I have since tried a fresh install and no longer get the web.config error (as above).

However, I now get a different error:

Keyword not supported: 'epix\sqlexpress;database'. (epix = our database server)

or

Keyword not supported: '192. * . * .* \sqlexpress;database'. (our database server ip address)

my web.config :

     <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Data Source=epix\SQLExpress;Database=dnn; Integrated Security=true; User ID=****; Password=****;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
  <appSettings>
    <!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express -->
    <add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Data Source=epix\SQLExpress;Database=dnn; Integrated Security=true; User ID=****; Password=****; " />
    <add key="InstallTemplate" value="DotNetNuke.install.config" />
