I have attempted to install version 4.8.4 on a remote host site, followed the detailed instructions from http://www.mitchelsellers.com/blogs/articletype/articleview/articleid/213.aspx.
I'm having an error during the install and my questions are:
1)The very first step indicates to make sure the "Worker Process has full file permissions to the root of the domain"
When contacting my host provider, they will only allow me to have medium permissions - read & execute.
2)The error I have is:
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
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.
Line 87: <system.web>
Line 88: <!-- Ensure validationkey is not set to AutoGenerate,IsolateApps so it correctly supports webfarms -->
Line 89: <machineKey
Line 90: validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps"
Line 91: decryptionKey=
3)My preparation steps:
- created a folder on the host site
- created an SQL Database,
- after unzipping the install files locally, I ftp'd each individual folder.
- modified the web.config file...(did not rename the release.config, only modified web.config).
I feel that I have followed the steps accordingly, but can't get past the error. Is it possible that because I cannot get full permission rights from the worker process, that this would cause the issue I am having?
Looking for any possible solutions to complete the install of 4.8.4
