I have went through the documentation and installation steps to install DotNetNuke 4.9.0 but even setting the ASPNET or NETWORK SERVICE to full permission on the install directory I get the same thing.

 

DotNetNuke Error: - Version 04.09.00

DotNetNuke Configuration Error

Access to the path 'C:\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.


Image showing the security settings for the root folder of the website must be set to Read, Write and Change Control for the ASPNET or NT AUTHORITY/NETWORK SERVICE accounts. Return to Site

 

 

 

 

 

I have disabled the Simple File Sharing.  I am using Windows XP Professional with IIS 5.1

Has anyone had a similar problem and found a solution to this type of problem?  Any help would be appreciated.

Once you disabled the simple file sharing did you then setup the permissions for the ASPNET user on the directory?

If so, make sure you setup the permissions for the LOCAL aspnet user, not one on the domain if you're machine is on a domain.
