DNN 4.0
WebHost4Life Host Provider

DNN is installed in a subdir of the root directory - /MyDNN. It functions well.

My domain www.mydomain.com points to this directory and correctly brings up the home page of my DNN site.

I created a couple subdirectories under /MyDNN

  • /Downloads
  • /ProductInstall/36

I can reference any file in /Downloads using http://www.mydomain.com/Downloads/filename.ext and it will grab it and ask if I want to save/run.

In "/ProductInstall/36/" I used WISE Installation software to place my product installation files for version 3.6.

For example, it contains, ABC36.exe and ABC36.000.

I can reference and get the save/run option for ABC36.exe by using http://www.mydomain.com/ProductInstall/36/BDV36.exe.

However, if I try the same with "ABC36.000", I get "HTTP Error 404".

If I rename that file "ABC36.zip" it does grab it.

So the problem seems to be attempting to access files underneath DNN with abnormal file extensions. How do I overcome this?

Thanks, Jeff

Jeff

It would appear that it has nothing to do with DNN.

I placed a file in the top level (root) directory and could access the file with extension of .EXE but could not access a file with extension of .000 - receiving "HTTP Error 404 - File Not Found".

So perhaps this is an IIS configuration problem. Anyone have any clues?

The problem was proper configuration of IIS 6.0 and has nothing to do with DNN.

I am not sure what the folks at WebHost4Life did, but they enabled access to my files by configuring IIS 6.0.

Since I am new to web hosting on the Microsoft platform, I was unaware of any such restrictions.

follow-up fyi
