I am trying to install on my local machine........XP Pro, DNN 4.0.3, SQL Server 2005 Express.

The only way i can seem to install it is using the VSI template (file system only.....if i create a virtual directory and choose HTTP i get an error for ASP.NET permission which i have set). Anyway installation works fine and i see the portal from my asp.net server URL i.e. http://localhost:xxxx/dnn How can i access the same site using my localhost e.g. http://localhost/dnn Everytime i try to access it through my local host it begins the installation again and gives an error that i can not connect to the database.

The default portal is installed as http://localhost:xxxx/dnn so i tried adding an alias as http://localhost/dnn but still it doesn't make a difference.

There must be something basic i am missing here. The documentation ends when installation is succesfull. But that doesn't mean i'll have to open VWD everytime i want to access the portal.

Many thanks in advance.

Virtual directory is the only way to go. You must define this directory as application inside IIS administration, set  asp.net 2.0 as its correspondending framework and set NTFS  read/write permissions to ASP.NET.

How do you have defined database security? If you use intergrated security, the ASP.NET account (or better: the account your current application pool belongs to) will need to be set as DBO for your database.

I finally managed to make it work. I have no idea why but I set NTFS file permissions to my windows user account and it works fine now. Athough i even tried EVERYONE before but it didn't.
