Or maybe, you can tell us which different method you used to reach the goal ??? I had problem with the 4.3.6, but it seems that 4.3.7 is much easier... Just a feeling. What did you done different than the method given here ? Explain us, it will be interesting ! Déclic Vidéo FX

First, for the benefit of any others who might be wandering into this thread at anytime into the future, I was able to manually install DotNetNuke DNN 4.3.7 on GoDaddy shared hosting using the combination of posts/sites as follows: (install date 12-03-2006)

Reading the following posts helped me to help install DNN 4.3.7 DotNetNuke 4.3.7 successfully on the first try with help GoDaddy DotNetNuke shared hosting manual install installation on DNN GoDaddy help shared hosting ...1) http://www.northernstarsolutions.com/Default.aspx?tabid=61
That site will help you in particular to set up your database on GoDaddy shared hosting, and then get the connection strings for that database correct in your web.config file.
[Note: At the bottom of that page is a further set of instructions to accomplish after manually installing DNN. I did not go through that final portion of instructions yet.]

That post will help you in particular with permissions on the installation path, and more on the web.config file.

That post will help with some GoDaddy control panel issues, and detailed steps on some common errors in this process.
Also, Declic, a little history. The NorthernStar page has been there for a long time, it was one of the available resources for GoDaddy shared hosting users back in May, 2006, when I first started with DotNetNuke 4.0.2 {at that time} as a "know nothing" consumer. It seems that according to the survey on the right side of the NorthernStar web page, less than 50% of people are able to successfully make the installation. This is not to say that the instructions are wrong there, because there are other factors. Other factors such as ... DNN 4.3.6 . DotNetNuke 4.3.6 gave a lot of trouble to people attempting to install DNN in any sort of restrictive environments, including localhost environs. As luck would have it, I started to desire to learn how to manually install DNN on GoDaddy on the day 4.3.6 was released. But I kept an eye on the forums for a few days and discovered so many reported problems with 4.3.6, that I thought "hmmm well maybe I should wait until 4.3.7" And indeed this may have been helpful, because I was able to manually install DNN 4.3.7 on GoDaddy shared hosting yesterday (12-03-2006) on the first attempt.
I am considering to make a more 'beginner' oriented page of instructions, for manual installation of DNN DotNetNuke on GoDaddy shared hosting, on website at http://www.dnncassini.com . The emphasis there at dnncassini.com is really more on backup/restore of a DotNetNuke functional site, but there is no reason why it could not also have a more comprehensive section devoted to manual installation of DNN on GoDaddy shared hosting. Perhaps you would like to collaborate with me on some ideas (from the pedagogical sense) to make the process easier for people.
Thanks,
Travis
