    Umbraco 5 install problem - Web Platform Installer and manual install

    I've tried installing umbraco 5 manually (downloading the zip, creating IIS site, permissions etc) and I've tried installing via web platform installer.

    In both instances when I browse to the root of the site I created I get a 403 error:

    "HTTP Error 403.13 - Forbidden, The web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory".

    If I browse directly to the install folder I get a 404 error, resource not found.

    Installing via web matrix seemed to complete successfully, no problems creating the site adding the host entry or creating a new db.

    I can only imagine that I have a permissions problem but I've given full access to NETWORK SERVICE and IIS_IUSRS.

    Has anyone come across this problem before? I see lots of forum posts detailing problems installing but not identical. 

    I've tried installing on two different machines both with exactly the same result.

    you must give modify permission to app_data, app_plugin, bin folders.

    Thanks for your reply.

    Unfortunately all users have full control over all folders and I am still presented with the same errors.

    Does anyone have any ideas...I have no idea how to proceed now.

    Thanks.

    Hi 

    Did you unblock the zip file before unzipping it?

    Also, when you set permissions, did you set it to cascade to subfolders etc?

    Hi J,

    Yep, I unblocked the zip folder, the exact same issue is happening when I use the web platform installer as well.

    I've set all permissions to be inherited via the advanced security settings - all users are now not inheriting from parent and all permissions are applied to "This folder, subfolders and files".

    Still no joy.

    I do seem to be able to install via web matrix and IIS Express, so I'm sure it must be a permission/IIS issue somewhere. 

    When I install via the WPI I do get the congratualtions message telling me I've successfully installed all the IIS products.

    When I click on the "Launch Umbraco CMS 5" it does take me to http://umbraco5.local//install (notice the 2 foward slashes)...not sure if this is indicative of something...

    Ok, so I finally got Umbraco V5 installed via the Web Platform Installer using IIS 7.5.

    Using the .net 4.0 framework installer I repaired the framework to its original state.

    I then installed Umbraco v5 again in exactly the same way as I had done many times previously, updated my host file to match the site I created and everything worked without a hitch.

    I have no idea what was wrong with my framework installation.

    If you're having the same issue it would be a good place to start.

    Just a note as I stumbled on this post after forgetting to change my app pool - you get the same error if your app pool in IIS 7 is not set to v4 Integrated mode.  By default mine was set to v4 classic and it came up with the same directory issue post-install.
