Manual install of Umbraco 6.2.1 on GoDaddy

Windows server has IIS7 and ASP.NET 4.0/4.5.

I downloaded the zipped file (UmbracoCms.6.2.1.zip) from

http://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/621

unzipped the file and uploaded it to my server (using a subdomain) via ftp.

I changed the /Config/umbracoSettings.config for MVC:

<templates>
    <!-- If you want to switch to Mvc then do NOT change useAspNetMasterPages to false -->
    <!-- This (old!) setting is still used to control how macros are inserted into your pages -->
    <useAspNetMasterPages>true</useAspNetMasterPages>
    <!-- To switch the default rendering engine to MVC, change this value from WebForms to Mvc -->
    <!-- Do not set useAspNetMasterPages to false, it is not relevant to MVC usage -->
    <defaultRenderingEngine>Mvc</defaultRenderingEngine>
  </templates>

I also changed the following in /web.config:

<add key="umbracoUseDirectoryUrls" value="true" />

and

<add name="UrlRewriteModule" type="UrlRewritingNet.Web.UrlRewriteModule, UrlRewritingNet.UrlRewriter" preCondition=""/>

But, I get a 500 Internal Server Error.

I checked permissions and the entire subdomain is set to all Read/Write/Execute access (777).

What did I miss? Thanks!

Hi Ashley

Are you still struggling with this issue?

I think you may need to get in touch with GoDaddy support since I suspect they're only allowing medium trust and out of the box Umbraco requires full trust. I know that Umbraco v7 will only work with full trust but if I remember correctly there should be a key in the

Hope some of these pointers help if you're still stuck.

Cheers, Jan

Yes we are, thank you for replying. :)

We found similar ideas in researching and changed this in <appSettings>

 <add key="umbracoUseMediumTrust" value="true" />

But we're still getting a generic 500 error. Part of the problem is GoDaddy's custom 500 error page is highjacking our custom errors page and any information we might receive as to the real issue at hand.

Here is my entire Web.config. Like I said, only changed the above lines listed above, in addition to the custom errors line. I didn't input database connections since it seemed the installer does that during the walkthrough, but I can't even get the installer.

Our firm does a little bit of everything, but heavily PHP so I am a little lost on the differences of ASP.NET. Do I need to put server information anywhere? etc.

Hi Ashley

Ok - All you should do in order to install is simply copy/paste the files to the webroot on the webserver, which it seems like you have already done. Then make sure permissions are correct - Seems it's already done as well.

Therefore I think you should get in touch with GoDaddy and make sure that the software required to run Umbraco is installed properly on the server.

Hope this helps.

We ended up getting an amazon server instead with remote desktop access. Thanks for the help!
