Windows Vista Home Premium, 1 GB RAM, Visual Web Developer 2005 Express (VWDX), SQL Server 2005 Express (SQLSX), DNN 4.5.3 (Install version).
I've been trying to set up a module developement environment as shown in this post. Things are a bit different, I suppose, because of Vista and I'm wondering if anyone else has had the same problems. Here goes...
I installed VWDX and SQLSX and installed them together via the wizard. I then went to the IIS Manager and, hot diggity, it's all different, so following along the walk-through gets fun. First of all, I can't find a place to set the virtual directory's read/execute attributes. I've tried ignoring this part of the tutorial and converting the virtual directory into an application, but neither works. When I browse to http://localhost/dnn (virtual directory pointing to C:\dnn), I get an error that says "The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory." If I browse to http://localhost/dnn/Default.aspx, I get an error that says, "The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the Multipurpose Internet Mail Extensions (MIME) map policy that is configured on the Web server. The page you requested has a file name extension that is not recognized, and is not allowed." After adding "Default.aspx" to the list of filenames for a default document in IIS Manager, I get error #2 when I browse to localhost/dnn.
I've uninstalled VWDX and SQLSX and reinstalled them separately, once with VWDX first and again in the opposite order. Same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark
