I've searched and read... and read and read, but can't find a solution for this.
I'm trying to install 4.08.04 on a server, using the Install kit.
I'm running Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6 and SQLExpress.
I extracted the install kit to a folder outside of inetpub/wwwroot and set it up in IIS as a virtual directory.
This root folder has Full Control permissions for NETWORK SERVICE and ASPNET - I've done the "Replace permission entries on all child objects..." option so, while I've not checked the permissions for each file and sub directory, I'm fairly sure they are correct.
My ASP.NET version in ISS is 2.0.50727
I was able to run install.aspx - the install process appeared to run successfully, so I don't think there is an issue with ASP.NET
(however, when I run aspnet_regiis - i, as has been suggested in other posts, I get a message saying "The error indicates that IIS is in 64 bit mode, while this application is a 32 bit application and thus not compatible." - but like I said, ASP.NET seems to be working)
After the install, when I try to open http://localhost/dotnetnuke/default.aspx I get the message "You are not authorized to view this page". If I turn "Show Friendly HTTP Error Messages" off in IE, the error says "Directory Listing Denied. This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed".
I do have "Enable default content page" checked in IIS, and have Default.aspx at the top of the list.
From the message it appears that default.aspx might be redirecting to another directory that might not have a default page, thus it's trying to list the contents.
I am able to open other files within that base directory, like logo.gif. I also created a test.aspx page and was able to open it from that directory.
Any ideas on what this might be?
TIA,
Mike
