OK, I must be nuts. I installed 3.0.7 without any issues. But I immediately get the following error when I try to do a clean install on 3.0.8. Anyone have any ideas? Dax Server Error in '/DotNetNuke' Application. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

No, in fact I have now removed all dotnetnuke directories from my computer and I'm still getting the issue. Here is my web.config: ----- <forms name=".DOTNETNUKE" protection="All" timeout="60" />
This happens when you setup dotnetnuke as virtual directory under a site that already has a DNN install in the root. Look at the web.config file in the folder of your web site root, not the virtual directory. If you have a data section in that web.config file...there's
your problem. Will
By way of explanation - I'm running 2.12 as the default (virtual) website under IIS 6 on W2k3 server . I'm attempting to run 4.02 as a separate, virtual website, with the name DotNetNuke_4. I've temporarily disabled ALL the other Web.configs on the machine
by renaming them web_backup.config, yet I still get the error message: "Section or group name 'data' is already defined. Updates to this may only occur at the configuration level where it is defined."
I'm using the Install version of 4.02. The error is happening before the install scripts even get a chance to run. Anybody dealt with this before?

I am getting the same error because I have a Virtual Directory under the root Virtual Directory.

I used to be able under DNN 3.2 to comment out the HTTP Modules in the web.config of the site under the root site.
It doesn't work with DNN 4. Do you have any suggestions on how to run a DNN 4 site under another DNN 4 site pointing to 2 SQL DB's.
