I get this error browsing to http://localhost/dotnetnuke.
I have set ASPNET and NETWORK SERVICE accounts to full control.
I am really new at this.
Anybody know where to hire some help?

Thanks

Hallo

I have the same problem but with a slight diff. On my LocalHost all is ok but when i place it on my server then i get this problem. It is though not with DNN but a nother project... IssueTracker. I am investigating and will let you know if I find anything.

Thanx

the metabase is all the settings for IIS...I'd recommend reinstalling iis. Do you get the same problem with .net v1.1 apps?
