InstallWizard woes Started By ParkerSeal Background: I'm attempting to install DNN platform on a shared host; ie. no remote access, no IIS manager, just ftp and Hsphere control panel. The host is already running a .net site which includes YAF, so I'm putting dnn in a subfolder, which I've set up as a web app with a dedicated app pool. I've extracted DNN_Platform_9.3.2.24_Install.zip to the dnn folder and prepared an empty database. 1st issue: InstallWizard.aspx won't load with the app pool in integrated mode, only in classic mode...	7	6302	3	9/9/2019 11:49 AM by ParkerSeal

Failed Azure Portal Backups Started By Deleted User It has taken a week of escalting thos issue to get Azure support to respond, however, the person is good.

Evoq 9.3 and Azure Started By Carl M I have been going nuts trying to install Evoq Engage 9.3 on Azure. The install times out during the data phase of the database install. Running a p1v2 app and s3 db. So I tried to install an earlier version 9.0 and it installed but the site would not load. Anyone run into this I have a ticket into support and it's been almost 3 weeks so I thought I would throw it out here.

DNN Platform Source doesn't build Started By lukalev Hi, I can not build the DNN_Platform_9.3.2.24_Source platform project in release or debug mode. I'm using VS 2017 with all necessary .NET frameworks. But I can build DNN_Platform_9.2.0.366-777_Source.zip though. I really don't understand why.
