Hello,

I am doing a clean install of 04.09.02 on a Windows 2003 server using ASP.NET 2.0.

I have created a virtual folder on the site root and am installing DNN there. I have given that directory sharing permissions for the NETWORK SERVICE account and have made sure it is designated as an ASP.NET 2.0 application. It should be noted that there is a different asp.net application that runs from the site root with its own web.config file (I'm wondering if this is part of the issue).

A database has been created and I have put in the connection string within web.config. I know that the application is connecting to it, because it has created a couple initial tables with the "dnn_" prefix that I requested in web.config. The initial tables and stored procedures that it creates have to do with the dnn version or similar items.

When I go to run the application I get the following error:

Configuration Error

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: Could not load type 'PageBase'.

Source Error:

Line 55:     <compilation debug="true"/>
Line 56:     <customErrors mode="Off"/>
Line 57:     <pages pageBaseType="PageBase" />
Line 58:     <authentication mode="forms">
Line 59:       <forms name=".ASPXformSAUTH" />

I notice that the Source File it is pulling up is the web.config file that is in the root of the web site versus in the virtual directory that I have created and assume that this is a part of the problem.

Does anyone know how to remedy this situation?
