You should try downloading the DefaultEmptyData.zip, Application.zip and VBClassic.zip. Please check out this article for information on the files:

The screen dump you supplied tells med that your admin folder is set up as an IIS application, and that's probably why you get this error in admin.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for helping so far!

I've now made a new installation using only the files you mention, and they are fresh downloads.

After setting up IIS I changed "VBClassic.sln" like changing "CustomModules.sln" as written in the PDF!

Then I tried to compile the project in VS05. VS05 said that it was an old project and that conversion was needed, so I started the conversion. In the end VS05 concluded that no conversion was needed anyway. This I could tell from the conversion report.

When I finally could press "build" it failed with this screen: http://www.imachine.dk/screenshots/vs05_compile_err.jpg

It says it can't find common.asp! I've tried to search the three zip to find it but couldn't.

Here you can se how the structure in IIS is with the new setup:  http://www.imachine.dk/screenshots/iis2.jpg

Without compiling I get the following screen when trying to access site and admin:  http://www.imachine.dk/screenshots/no_permission.jpg. What permissions do I need to setup?

I have no idea why it needs the common.asp to compile?!? If you can locate the file in the solution explorer, exclude it and try compiling again.

Just took another look at your screen dump. Are you accessing the solution remotely with eg. Frontpage extentions? Your solution should not display the Admin folder, but what's in the CustomModules/Application folder.

Now it begins to work, but only partially! The directory permissions (for user:IUSR_***) in windows was not set for all the files.

Now i don't get a login and there is no username to the top left! (i guess i'm automatically logged in as some kind of user)

I can load and save options for "Generelt" and "System" but can't create pages,areas and administrate modules!

What's missing!

I've received another reporting about this problem and it seems to be a configuration issue on the server. I haven't yet been able to reproduce the problem on other solutions, but we're still investigating the problem.

However, to be able to log on correctly try typing this adress:

http://yoursolution/Admin/access/default.aspx

Your local ASPNET user must have write permissions on the Database and Files folder including subfolders.

Sorry, Martin, I accidently typed my answer into you posting. By it should do the trick.

It's all right! I didn't notice it and as long as it did the trick I'm happy! I thought all settings that could be set was set, but nooo! After doing like you said it all works! Thankyou very much!

And as for the login problem... Just discovered some code was missing from the Global.asax.vb file that performs the validation. If you add this, your admin validation should perform correctly:

Sub Application_OnPreRequestHandlerExecute(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)

GlobalAsax.Application_OnPreRequestHandlerExecute(sender, e)

End Sub

For others having the same problem, I've uploaded a new VBClassic.zip file to the Downloads section of this site.
