Hello Everyone,

I am fairly new to DotNetNuke.

I have a shared web hosting plan from 1and1, i followed the instructions to install the portal:

- web.config

- Network user permission

- Created the virtual directory ( they call it Application Directory)

Installation goes well without any error. However when i try to access the portal i see the standard modules but without the content ( text, images, ....) and when i try to log in I get the Security Exception Error (detailed at the end of this post) i refresh my browser 3 to 4 times everytime to be able to access the page. This behavior is totaly random in the sense that there is no certainety it will happen or not.

I would realy appreciate any help guys and thank you for your patience.

Thank you Cnull for your reply!!! I will be waiting to hear if your installations works !! and if it did can you u please include details about the steps to achieving that!!

I had the same problems while installing in the root folder. Reason was that I couldn't set file security on the root folders (but just on subfolders/files). During installation the subfolder DesktopModules is created, and this fails as it gets access denied.
In the installation scripts it is not reported, and you end it with no installed modules.
Workarround would be to create DesktopModules folder by yourself and set security on it BEFORE you start installation. it worked for me.
Anyway after so much struggling with 1and1 I'll probably chnage hosting provider.

best regards
Goran
