DotNetNuke Installation Problem

Bao Cam · November 11th, 2005, 02:16 PM

Hi All,

I'm trying to install the DotNetNuke 3.1.1 (clean install) using the instructions as laid out in the DotNetNuke ASP.NET Portals book (by Wrox).

Downloaded the zip file for the source 3.1.1
Unzipped it into c:\DotNetNuke
Given the ASP.NET user rights to the dir above

Created DB (SQL Server 2000) - DotNetNuke
Created User â DNNPortalUser
Created PWD â DNNPortalUser
Assigned the right permissions etc for user

Created a Virual Directory on IIS (c:\DotNetNuke)
Created Application Name as DotNetNuke

When I navigate to http://<server name>/DotNetNuke/ nothing happens. My web browser just returns the directory structure of c:\DotNetNuke.

I have followed the instructions very carefully. Am I doing something wrong or are there steps missing from the install direction?

I am having the same problem. Was the resolution to this problem posted?

Thank you.

Hi deschen,

Looks like the site uses a default document that is not recognized by IIS automatically, like Index.aspx. What happens when you click one of the files in the directory structure?

When I click on one of the links, it asks whether I want to open or save the file via the "File Download" dialog box.

FYI...I am doing a clean install of DNN3.2.1 and am running IIS v5.1

Sounds like you installed IIS after the .NET Framework.

If that's the case, search this forum for aspnet_regiis and you'll find instructions about reregistering the .NET Framework.

Cheers,

Imar....thank you very much!! This fixed the problem.

FYI...after I got past this issue, I had problems connecting to the SQL server. To fix this the security settings need to be set for SQL and Windows for the Server Group. But now the site is up and running per the book.

Is there any reason why this doesn't apply to you? Did you search this forum for aspnet_regiis ??
