Hello,

I'm new with DNN and I've tried to install it before but it didn't work. I was able to run the Installation Wizard once, but apparently with some error on the database connection. Now that I'm trying to run it again, I'm not able to. It was showing an 500.19 Error and now it is showing the IIS Windows welcome page.

Can anyone help me?

Thanks,

Felipe

Hi Felipe:

Make sure that you have correctly set your web host name (domain or subdomain) in IIS, bound to your DNN application.

I hope it helps,
Francisco

First: Welcome to the DNN Community!

Have you tried nvQuickSite? Solves a lot of problems when installing DNN, esp. for not so experienced admins.

Happy DNNing!
Michael
