Hello,

This is my very first attempt to install DNN, so please bare with me.

 

I've followed the INSTALL document and installed DNN on my server but I get an

HTTP 404 error. I've made sure the requirements twice and everything mentioned

in the document but still cant get it to work.

 

I would greatly appreciate if someone can help me with this.

 

Thank you

 

If you have actually installed DNN, you might check the PortalAlias table in the database and ensure that the alias does not have a /install at the end of it.

I just built a new vm to validate the problem, and sure enough the problem is still there.

Here is the log from my 404 error....

It looks like it can't find the default.aspx file even though it is in there and at the top of the default document list.
