mehensen,

Your installation guide didn't really help me, I knew most of that because that's roughly what you have to do for DNN3. I'm on WinXP Pro, I'm using SQL 2005 Express.   I have no fricking clue what to do.  I've tried setting up a user/password type connection string, and the login gets rejected. ... even though I know for a fact the login is okay, and in fact I can login from any SQL Client to the database with those credentials.

I'm at my wits end with this installation, but I really need to get it done.

Thanks mehenson, most unfortunately this doesn't help my case.

I have a development env. setup. I can run the site well under kazini.

However when I try to set it up on my IIS (Localhost port 8080)

I get the wierdest error

URL:  http://localhost:8080/DotNetNuke/Default.aspx

Error: The page cannot be displayed.

To make sure, I even allowed directory browsing, and removed Default.aspx from my startup opts.

I browse the dir in IE, if i click on one of the HTM files, all is well. If i click on the Default.aspx file, I get the error i mentioned, it tries also localhost:3167 for some unknown reason.

I run ASP.NET 2.x, I have checked the VD is indeed running ASPNET 2.x

I have given EVERYONE , FULL CONTROL, of the dir, just to eliminate options.

I am at my wits end.

please someone, help me.

Mick
