[dba-Tech] DotNetNuke

Hi John:

It is running on my Server Windows 2003 and IIS 6 (web), nothing fancy....
but you will definitely have to have IIS running. 

Only took about 30 minutes to install. The hardest spot was fixing the
web.config file as the install wanted to point to my MS SQL Express and not
its big brother. If that is your problem I can give you the method to fix
it.

What happens, on your site, when you try and install DNN 4.x? It will quit
the installation process if your web server is not running.

Jim

Is this DNN instance running your your own hardware at your 
office, or is it running on a Web Hosting company out on the 
internet?

I am trying to get this running on my own Windows 2003 
server at my office.  AFAICT the basic install of Windows 
2003 does not turn on IIS.  I went in and did so but there 
is a lot of additional stuff which I may have missed.  Or 
ASP.Net might be installed by Visual Studio.

Or...

My web site which is running on a web hosting company is DNN 
based.  I set it up back when DNN was version 2.X and IIRC I 
actually got a DNN running local on my machine.  Since then 
they have moved from DNN 2.x running on .Net 1.X to DNN 4.X 
running on .Net 2.X.

I have requested that the web hosting company migrate my web 
site to the DNN 4.X however I also thought I'd try getting 
it running local "just to play around".  I foolishly thought 
it would be an installer that set it up.
