I have installed DOTNETNUKE 4.0.2 first on my machine which ran fine. Then I copied to my ISP and edited the web.config for the SQL Server database. I opened the site and it went through the install. Everything looked fine. I hit the link to open the site and got an error as below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Server Error in '/' Application.

I did see the install page and click on the link at the bottom to open my site. That is when I received the error. I tried twice. I have it working on my machine. I do have it working on my machine.

But have had similar problems on an XP machine but I get a security type problem not being able to write to the web.config file. Which is strange since I and the ASPnet account have full control over the directory. This is another matter I am not as worried about right now.

Does the ISP have to do anything on their end? I did set the dite for ASP .NET 2.
