Hey all,

Just going to list what all worked for me. I actually loaded the starter kit in visual studio 2005. I modified my web.config for the sql server entry and the other steps listed in the 1and1 faq for the older version. I then had to move the siteurl config.

I used web files to modify all the permissions. This took a while!  Then, she worked. This was all done at the root of my server.

The only thing I cannot get to work is the email. Any ideas about that? Security exceptions keep getting thrown.

And thanks for the tips for the for the sub portals.

Email when you change settings for a user or even send a test message from the host>host settings>advanced settings>smtp settings...... and I click on test.

I've tried smtp.1and1.com (anonymous and with basic auth) and through mrelay.perfora.net which is used in 1and1's asp.net smtp example

http://faq.1and1.com/scripting_languages_supported/asp_net/7.html

That seems weird. But I tried it anyway and still got exceptions

Description: The application attempted to perform an operation not allowed by the security policy.  To grant this application the required permission please contact your system administrator or change the application's trust level in the configuration file.

Exception Details: System.Security.SecurityException: Request for the permission of type 'System.Net.Mail.SmtpPermission, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089' failed.

Line 439:                    Dim strMessage As String = Mail.SendMail(txtHostEmail.Text, txtHostEmail.Text, "", Services.Localization.Localization.GetSystemMessage(PortalSettings, "EMAIL_SMTP_TEST_SUBJECT"), "", "", "", txtSMTPServer.Text, optSMTPAuthentication.SelectedItem.Value, txtSMTPUsername.Text, txtSMTPPassword.Text)

Source File: E:\kunden\homepages\xxxxx\xxxxxxxx\admin\Host\HostSettings.ascx.vb    Line: 439

Turns out this error is actually thrown from mail.vb in the source. Once compiled, it goes into /bin/dotnetnuke.dll

The exception just travels back and gets dumped on this line 439. I don't really expect the asp.net debugger to actually tell me that. Well, I'm actually glad it doesn't, but yea.....

Ideas? After everything that we've been through, this wee little thing is tripping me up! I'm still grinding through the mail.vb to see what may be making the 1and1 security policy cranky, but haven't found out.
