currently i am trying to evaluate dotnet nuke 5.2 . 1. installed dotnetnuke using webinstaller from windows web gallery 2. downloaded 2008 template . 3. added few portals fine. till this part every thing is fine. 4. try to add new modules using Template projet. and rebuild the solution ....> rebuild All succeed. 5. execute the project errors.. not enough help on the bugs..

I had a similar problem with authentication errors and provider errors popping up everywhere during a routine installation of DNN 5.2.3. 

In my case it seemed to have been caused by having the physical directory for the DNN files on the D: drive instead of in the C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ folder (I was setting the site up using a virtual application/directory on IIS).  Once I moved the physical directory into the inetpub folder, all my issues with authentication and providers went away and it became a routine installation again. 

I have not done extensive testing to find out why having the files on another drive partition is such a big an issue for DNN; nor if they actually have to be in the inetpub directory or if any directory on the C: drive will do.  The installs are working and that is enough.  (There may be other issues at work in your case). 

I hope this helps someone . . .  Cheers - Pete

 

 

NoBody, there are no limitations AFAIK, where the files may reside, however permissions need to be applied correctly, especially for the account used by ASP.net.
