I am trying to setup my first local (not hosted) DNN installation on win2008server. It works browseing fine with localhost.

When I attempt to navigate to http://mysite/dotnetnuke  - i get a 404 resource not found error.

When I setup 'add application', and I enter c:\dotnetnuke as the path, with pass through authentication, I get the following error:

The server is configured to use pass-through authentication with a built-in account to access the specified physical path. However, IIS Manager cannot verify whether the built-in account has access. Make sure that the application pool identity has Read access to the physical path. If this server is joined to a domain, and the application pool identity is NetworkService or LocalSystem, verify that <domain>\<computer_name>$ has Read access to the physical path. Then test these settings again.

If I connect as specific user and choose administrator, then it works.

I am a newbie to IIS and a local DNN install.

Thanks,
