try:

  • Setting-up the Development Environment (using IIS)

    • I know it says development environment but it's really a normal install.

    Hey guys I just posted very detailed setup if you have already setup your database and virtual directory with asp.net/network service permissions on your directory folder. This is for the 2005 express database. Heres the link :HERE

    <-http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/ForumsDotNetNuke/tabid/795/forumid/-1/threadid/80237/scope/posts/Default.aspx->

    If anyone need further help just ask. This forum really needs sticky files of both web.config settings for 2005 express and 2000/2005 server.
