I am trying to do a fresh install on a Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6. I have read the install guide and adjusted permissions accordingly.

ERROR TEXT:

Could not find a part of the path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\subdomains\dotnetnuke\httpdocs\Config\Backup_2009541747\web_.config'.Access to the path 'C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\subdomains\dotnetnuke\httpdocs\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

I use Plesk to set up the site, so it will create and use its own IUSR_USERNAME.  Also, I do not have an NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE user, just a NETWORK SERVICE user. I assume its the same. I have given NETWORK SERVICE, [SERVER]\ASPNET, and the IUSR_USERNAME id's pretty much Full Access to the root folder and all within it and I still get this error.

Looking at the folder contents, I do not see Config\Backup_2009541747. I'm guessing the install is supposed to create it.

Might someone have a suggestion.

Thanks Sebastian,

I added permissions for the app pool user and it now continues on to the Database setup.

Another road block. As it starts to install the database scripts I get the following error.

Installing Database - Version 5.0.0...FAILURE 400 - The stored procedure 'DNNUser.UpdateDatabaseVersionAndName' doesn't exist.

The page appears to get stuck and doesn't install the db.  I am using a sql server userid to access the db. and even though the user is db_owner, I am not using the Run as db_owner. If that matters.

Thanks
Patrick

Patrik,

either clear tables and stored procedures from the database or create a new blank one and restart installation.
