I am getting the following error as soon as I start installation:
DotNetNuke Configuration Error
Could not find file 'E:\web sites\devdotnetnuke\web.config'.
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 Enable 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
- the {Server}\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website
If using Windows 2003 - IIS6
- the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website
I granted full access to both the IWAM and ASPNET accounts all the way to the root of the drive where the dotnetnuke site is located, no change.
I searched for similar problems among the threads in this forum but didn't find anything that could help me.
The installation procedure creates an empty web.config file in the root directory and then bombs by displaying the error above (so the app can create the web.config file ... but for some reason it can't access it after it gets created)
The site resides in:
E:\web sites\devdotnetnuke
And the URL (locally only):
http://dev.dotnetnuke.com:8080
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you.
