I had the same problem and I believe that it was corrected with permissions. Make sure you have followed the advice in this thread on setting your site permissions. At least that is what fixed it for me.

I'm confused on what folders to put what permissions on.  Can you tell me more on this?  What folders? and what permissions?  One thread said every directory and sub-directories, while another said on certain ones.  Any help is appreciated.

Jay,

What did you do on the SQL Server?

Thanks

Jay, What did you do on the SQL Server? Thanks

I'm having the toughest time doing this, so frustrated even though the instructions are right there.  Just to sum this up, and please correct me if Im doing anything wrong, steps I followed: 

created a new subdirectory -->> copied DNN folder with extracted files to that new subdirectory (ex:  www.TEST.com/newsubdirectory/DNNfolder  -->> edited web.config file with Server= xxxx.xxxx.mesa1.secureserver.net
 DB name, UserID and Password

Create a Directory within "Custom Windows Directory Permissions" of the newsubdirectory (add read,web,root) and subdirectory of DNNfolder (add read,web)

Should this work?  Any help is appreciated.

Thanks

Server Error in '/' Application.

Runtime Error

Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

Details: To enable the details of this specific error message to be viewable on remote machines, please create a <customErrors> tag within a "web.config" configuration file located in the root directory of the current web application. This <customErrors> tag should then have its "mode" attribute set to "Off".

Did you set the debug mode so you can see the error message?

Another thing that I did was to completely delete all the contents of the sub folder and well as all objects in the databse and do a brand new install (whenever I run into funky problems).  Note that if you copy your local copy of DNN from a machine that is working fine, this can cause problems - at least in my experience.

Thanks for the response. So you deleted the files that GoDaddy Provided, (For Example:  gdform.asp, gdform.php, welcome.html, stats(folder)?

I did turn debug own, or atleast I did what the error told me to do.

I have DotNetNuke v 3.1.0 up and running at GoDaddy.com but I am having a few issues. I will list them here in hopes of making others aware of the issues as well as trying to resolve the issues.

1. I cannot get a full backup of my MS SQL Database. I tried the gruposur module and it failed, specifically because it does not have access to a folder on the SQL Server. I don't have access to SQL DMO or Enterprise Manager. GoDaddy seems to be running myLittleAdmin, which supports backup but Godaddy does not have it set up. GoDaddy support has told me to backup each table individually about 5 seperate times but I keep asking in hopes of being able to backup my database. Maybe more pressure will help? My friend was working on web app to script out the entire database to a file, but it isn't quite as good as a backup. (http://www.dotdesk.com/portal/Downloads/tabid/177/Default.aspx) Any Advice is appreciated.

2. RSS and XML feeds seem to be inaccessible from my web server. I think that GoDaddy has locked down the web server so tightly that it cannot make web requests. Any time I try to set up a news feed or run a weather module I receive errors like this:
             "Could Not Connect To http://p.moreover.com/cgi-local/page?c=Database%20industry%20news&o=rss. You Should Verify The Source Address Is Valid And That Your Hosting Provider Has Configured Their Proxy Server Settings Correctly."

3. Because I needed to make my website search engine friendly and installed in a subdirectory, I needed to set up a 301 redirect that would work for any portal that I set up at GoDaddy. I wrote short ASP script that would do a 301 redirect for any domain name to the subdirectory. This is talke about more in my forum. (http://www.dotdesk.com/portal/FreeHelp/Forum/tabid/174/forumid/5/threadid/26/scope/posts/Default.aspx)


I hope to resolve these issues as it will help make GoDaddy a great host. I don't like not being able to backup my database!

Jim,

   I top am trying to backup my database with godaddy and am running into the same problems. My DNN site actually failed and I userd the table by table export but when I reinstalled DNN I could not import the tables. I kept getting some error Identity error. I too would really appreciate any input or developments on how to backup my DNN site on godaddy. Thanks!
