Hi Everyone,
Just to let you know, I'm very new at this - very new to any type of dev environments in general.
I was going through the Installation tutorials for XP Pro (which are excellent, btw) and on the third video, I go to hit the localhost and it bonks saying "Server error in 'DNN_490_Test' Application" and "Failed to access IIS metabase". I don't know what that means - no clue at all.
Here is the Stack Trace
[HostingEnvironmentException: Failed to access IIS metabase.]
System.Web.Configuration.MetabaseServerConfig.MapPathCaching(String siteID, VirtualPath path) +637
System.Web.Configuration.MetabaseServerConfig.System.Web.Configuration.IConfigMapPath2.MapPath(String siteID, VirtualPath vpath) +9
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPathActual(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean permitNull) +174
System.Web.Hosting.HostingEnvironment.MapPathInternal(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean permitNull) +51
System.Web.CachedPathData.GetConfigPathData(String configPath) +341
System.Web.CachedPathData.GetConfigPathData(String configPath) +234
System.Web.CachedPathData.GetApplicationPathData() +38
System.Web.CachedPathData.GetVirtualPathData(VirtualPath virtualPath, Boolean permitPathsOutsideApp) +8801967
System.Web.Configuration.RuntimeConfig.GetLKGRuntimeConfig(VirtualPath path) +117
I don't know what that is either.
Possible issues?
While on the second video, I was installing SQL Server 2005 and did not set an Authentication Mode and password - totally missed it.
Tried to un/reinstall and the wizard never asked for an Authentication Mode.
Pressing on to the third video, I get to the part where we add the DOTNET user and give permissions.
DOTNET user was not in the "Find Now" results.

Any hints or solutions will be greatly appreciated!
