Installing umbraco

Hi all,

I'm having a terrible time getting Umbraco to run on Softsys shared hosting. Support have enabled full trust AFAIK (not sure how to test this) and I'm sure I have set the correct file permissions as per the installation guides. The site is running on the .NET 3.5 framework and I have tried using both the default web.config file and the 3.5 web.config files. I'm by no means a .NET expert, I have managed to install Umbraco many times before but this is the first time I have tried on shared hosting.

The current problem (latest of many!) is one I just cant seem to find a solution to. Installation seems complete but when I try to open umbraco.aspx I am getting a Security Exception, the output is shown below.

Umbraco version - 4.0.3

ASP.NET - 3.5

Windows Server 2008 (shared hosting) + IIS7

Does anyone have any idea what is going on here? Any help would be much appreciated.

Thomas

I very often have difficulties with permissions on fresh installations. Often I just end up enabling full permissions on everything, then tightening up afterwards. You can control permissions from the softsys admin area - making sure that you ensure the permissions you're setting are recursive.

Oh, I forgot to add, their admins don't necessarily have to enable full trust mode as far as I know. If you just include: <trust level="Full" /> in the system.web section of the web.config file it should run.

Thanks Dan,

That seemed to do the trick.

I also had to enable read/write access for the entire wwwroot folder for NETWORK SERVICE and the site during installation so a .tmp file could be written.
