Will somebody help on this. Here's what I did on the Installation. I want to install this because i will make modifications on the Login module.

My Current PC setup:
OS-Windows XP
SQL Database- MS SQL 2005 Developer Ed
IIS - Version 5.1

Here's my step on the installation

1. I created a Database named DotNetNuke on the SQL Server.
2. I created a folder named DotNetNuke on C:\
3. I unzipped the Source Install on C:\DotNetNuke
4. I opened DotNetNuke.sln on C:\DotNetNuke ysing Visual Studio 2005
5. I changed the release.config to web.config and made the necessary corrections. Here's my web.config connection:

add name="SiteSqlServer" connectionString="Server=(local);Database=DotNetNuke;uid=dnnuser;pwd=12345678;" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"

6.  I build the website and it succeeded and I run it.
7. I checked my IIS and I found a virtual Directory named DotNetNuke_2

The error now was:

This site is currently Unavailable

Please check back later

What did i missed?  why did i got this error message???

Dear,
          For solving these problem open the DotNetNuke.sln file in notepad and  change the  following one

Project("{E24C65DC-7377-472B-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}") = "http://localhost/DotNetNuke/", "http://localhost/DotNetNuke", "{79D3BA0F-F76F-4A84-AE7F-C6A01EC247F9}"
    ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject

I think in your DotNetNuke.sln file is used

Project("{E24C65DC-7377-472B-9ABA-BC803B73C61A}") = "http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2/", "http://localhost/DotNetNuke_2", "{79D3BA0F-F76F-4A84-AE7F-C6A01EC247F9}"
    ProjectSection(WebsiteProperties) = preProject

So it show these error like, This Site is currently Unavailable.


Bye.

hi.. thanks a lot... It worked!!!  whew... that's a big break for me... now i can start customizing some modules....

The reason that you got the "Site Not Available" error is, most likely, because you have set AutoUpgrade to false in web.config. Thus, you have to go to the install page manually.

Are you aware that you don't have to open and build the site with Visual Studio. All that you need to do is create the web site, point it to the directory that holds the code, and then browse to the site.

It's not with the web.config. It has nothing to do with that coz it's all been setup. yes i am aware of that, it's not my first time to install DNN... the error was with the permission.... I forgot to include IUSR and IWAM.

Yes ... permissions are more powerful than anything!
