We are trying to install DNN 4.8.4 on a Windows 2003 DC. We have extracted the Install.zip into the D:\INetPub\DotNetNuke folder.

SQL 2005 Blank Database is built with a non-sa account having DBO rights. We can log into the database using the account credentials.

Permissions to the Site Folder are Full Control for both IUSR and NETWORK SERVICES account.

Here is the error we are getting:

DotNetNuke Error: - Version 04.08.04

 

DotNetNuke Configuration Error

Could not find a part of the path 'D:\INetPub\DotNetNuke\Config\Backup_20086191039\web_.config'.Access to the path 'D:\INetPub\DotNetNuke\web.config' is denied.

DotNetNuke has extensive file upload capabilities for content, modules, and skins. These features require custom security settings so that the application is able to create and remove files in your website.

Using Windows Explorer, browse to the root folder of the website ( C:\DotNetNuke by default ). Right-click the folder and select Sharing and Security from the popup menu ( please note that if you are using Windows XP you may need to Disable Simple File Sharing before these options are displayed ). Select the Security tab. Add the appropriate User Account and set the Permissions.

  • If using Windows 2000 - IIS5
    1. the [SERVER]\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website.
  • If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
    1. the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website.

The NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE User Account HAS FULL ACCESS!

Does anyone know a work around for this bogus error?

domain controllers have additional security applied to them, and really shouldn't be used for web hosting if possible. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa579070.aspx details the measures you'll have to take to create a valid user to get asp.net running correctly.

It doesn't make any difference...I can even grant the Network account administrative rights to the box, and it still says it cannot write to the folder.

please read the link I posted earlier, as it states:

 On a domain controller, all user accounts are domain accounts and not local machine accounts, so Aspnet_wp.exe fails because it cannot find a local account named "localmachinename\ASPNET".

You will need to explicitly create a local machine account, grant it permissions and update the machine.config, to get asp.net working.

In addition to what Cathal has said as far as security, there is one other thing to consider. A website on a DC will likely suffer from performance issues, you really should avoid hosting a site on a DC.
