 Thanx Jeff, but I did convert it to application. Just like the installation manual of this site indicates. What exactly do I grant permission to if is not Network Service then?

1. You need to check if you have ASP.Net installed on the machine: http://forums.iis.net/p/1073585/15719... this link refers to fixes for that issue.

2. Are you running this site under the Default AppPool? What service account is it using?

3. I still think you may have incorrect permissions on you Cinexxx folder. "Read-only" on the "Genreal Tab" is not a security permission!

Please right click on the folder and click on the Security Tab. ASPNET and whatever account that your Application Pool is using MUST have permissions on this folder or you'll still get errors.

With IIS 7.5 you have to turn on features you require not turn off non-required features like we used to do.

1.  At first It wasn't but now I've installed it and still doesn't work.

2. Yes it's using the DefaultAppPool and it's using network service.

3. In the folder I have Network Service with full control. How do I know what account the application pool is actually using? Where do I set it?

Another thing, when I go to .NET frame work version in the app pools advanced settings, it only shows v2.0 and I've installed dotnetfix 3.5 like 10 times.

Do you get the same 500.19 message or is the message different?

You answered #3 with #2. You have DefaultAppPool using NetworkService account. This is the default setup for IIS 7.5 leave it. You have the NetworkService permissions set correclty on the folder. Leave this as is.

This is correct. It's confusing but that's how MS set it up.

Just for grins check that ASP.NET is enabled for IIS... Start --> Control Panel --> Programs and Features

on the left click "Turn Windows Features on and off"

Once the pop up populates click the + beside "Internet information services" then the + beside "World Wide Web services" then the + beside "Application Development Features"

Is ASP.NET checked? if it is you're good to go, if it isn't then check it and let it run through the installer...

You need to add correct permissions for your IIS account.

In IIS manager click and select the web site

In Actions on the far right side open Basic Settings

In "edit application" pop up click "Connect AS" at bottom left of the pop up

If you haven't changed this setting then "Application user (pass-through authentication)" should be selected

If "Application user"  is selected then you need to add IIS_IUSRS account to your web site folder and give it Read & Execute; List folder contents; Read permissions

While you have the web site open in the IIS Manager make certain that "Directory Browsing" is ENABLED and that "default.aspx" is listed under Default Documents.

Once you've done all the above then restart IIS and try to hit the site again.

Make sure you clear cache and cookies from whatever browser you're using

 Thanx a lot man. Now the installation dialogue actually apeared. But got a new problem...

This appears in read letter right below "choose language":

The Auto option has been disabled as the DotNetNuke Application cannot connect to a valid SQL Server database. You can continue to use either of the other two Wizard options and configure the Database settings at the appropriate Wizard step.

Then, when I ignore it and go to the step where the database connection is tested, this happens (i'm using sql server express)...

Connection Error(s):
Index #: 0
Source: .Net SqlClient Data Provider
Class: 14
Number: 15382
Message: Failed to generate a user instance of SQL Server due to failure in retrieving the user's local application data path. Please make sure the user has a local user profile on the computer. The connection will be closed.

 

PS: I don't know exactly which step corrected the permissions problem from the whole installation (it didn't work until I manually enabled "windows authentication mode" though), but none of that IIS_IUSRS  stuff is on the DNN installation manual. And directory browsing was not enabled by default either.
