    Post installation error

    hmmmm

    I've installed a couple of Umbraco sites with no problem, although its been a few months.

     

    Now I am trying to use Umbraco on Windows Server 2008 R2, I have a folder, c:\somewebs\mysite which is set as the root folder of the site in IIS, but when I brownse to it it says...

     

    Server Error in '/' Application.

    The resource cannot be found.

    Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.  Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly. 

    Requested URL: /install/default.aspx

     

    I have googled this issue and every reference I can find says that it must be installed in the root folder of the site, which this is.

     

    Any idea?

    Hi Tony

    Are you sure that network service and iusr has the proper permissions set on the "mysite" folder, which I suppose contains the umbraco files?

    Hi Tony

    I'm happy to hear that...insufficient permissions is a classic :-)
