Is the DotNetNuke 4.5.1 application pack available yet? I don't see it under Application Packs or Announcements.

Thanks.

I guess I am just too impatient. I tried to use the new DNN 451 install zip file to create a new application pack. I created a new folder called DotNetNuke45 and copied the contents from DotNetNuke44 folder. Then I updated all the references in the XML to the new version. I also updated the main Applications.xml file to add in a row for DotNetNuke45 under the Content Management node. I then copied in the new DotNetNuke 451 install package from sourceforge and renamed it to DotNetNuke.zip. Now I get the error below when trying to load the application installer page. So is there something I am missing? Maybe there is something in the DotNetNuke.zip file that I need to add for the auto install. It would be nice to know how to do this. Thanks.

OK, I see the changes to the web.config for the connection strings. I udpated those but still get the same error. Are there other changes to make?

Seems you have an error in "Applications.xml".

Try to open it in the browser and you'll see what's wrong.

Btw, the error is in Line 8, position 61

I created the 4.51 Application Pack and few hours ago working fine here

Well, I have never done it before so I do not know if I am doing everything and correctly.

I looked in the application.xml in the DotNetNuke45 folder and it looked like Wordpad had converted the break tag in the Long Description so I fixed that. I re-opened it in notepad and resaved.

But I still get the same error. Normally it is not that urgent for me to move to the next version of DNN but I need to create a new personal site today on DNN 451. So is there anyway I can get a copy of the app pack that works?

Thanks.

Apparently, somebody knows what they are doing.

It worked great. Thanks so very much and have a great weekend!

Maybe you know how to fix this:

When ever I try to install DNN I get this

Could not find a part of the path 'D:\Domains\directhost1\directhost-1.co.uk\wwwroot\dnn441\Config\Backup_2007428175\web_.config'.

If using Windows 2003 - IIS6

1. the NT AUTHORITY\NETWORK SERVICE User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website.  

these perrmissions are already set, I've even tried Everyone with FULL CONTROL

Did you try to install DNN 4.5 without application installer?

Yes it seems to be cause becuase ASP.NET2 is running as Medium Trust I had to give DNN Full Trust.

Is there anyway of running ASP.NET in Medium Trust without it stopping DNN from working

This is caused by the fact that the hostingspace directory is not inheriting permission from its parent folder. The IIS_WPG group needs to have the "Browse folder" permission on the root of the harddrive down to all subfolders. The folder that is being created by DNP stops that inheritance. This is obviously something that dnp needs to fix.

If you do that PHP is able to view the content of other users folders

If you do what, directhostinguk ? P.S. How do I quote someone else's thread in this forum?
