Hello

I'm very new to DNN. I tried installing DNN 3.3.7 on a subdomain within our server host environment. I simply created a subdomain and they gave required ASP.NET permission on that folder and gave dbo rights to the newly created DNN database. I then copied the files and changed the config file to point to the new DNN database. When I tried loading default.aspx, it started the installation process until it came to later steps and failed showing some error about the AppDomain which I could not capture and closed the screen by mistake.

I deleted all the DNN folders in that subdomain and reloaded the page but instead of starting Install, it shows me the follwoing page.

How can I do a fresh re-install. Do I need to re-create the database also? If yes, then I would have to open a ticket to get dbo permissions from the host company that will take few hours.

I did not have any trouble setting it up on my personal desktop and laptop. Please help!!

 Here's what I'm getting as an error:

Server Error in '/' Application.

Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

Typically when an installationeed to clear it out to start over.  So yes, that is correct that you need to re-set the database and start again.

As a side note, it is strongly recommended that if you are creating a new site that you use DNN 4.9.1 due to the major security and performance upgrades that have occured in the 4.x release series.
