If your description of your folder structure above is precise, then its wrong.
 

Are you following the installation guide precisely?: http://documentation.dynamicweb.dk/Admin/Public/Download.aspx?File=Files%2fFiler%2fDocumentation+portal%2fDynamicweb+CMS%2fDocumentation%2fInstallation%2fen%2f8111_(en-US)_Installation_Guide.pdf

In order to give us a hint what could be wrong, could you please tell us the error and precise description of what you do. (URL you are accessing, whats on the screen?)

What happens if you drop a simple html file in your home directory and tries to access that?

just put the error code here so we can help you :)

by the way, are you using Access or SQL database?

i try to set up the same file to another server and it shows me this

errorSystem.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at System.Xml.XmlLoader.Load(XmlDocument doc, XmlReader reader, Boolean preserveWhitespace) at System.Xml.XmlDocument.Load(XmlReader reader) at Dynamicweb.GlobalsettingsConverter.RunConverter() at Dynamicweb.GlobalsettingsConverter..ctor() at Dynamicweb.Admin.Global.Application_Start(Object sender, EventArgs e)
Could not convert Globalsettings.xml/aspx
Please wait!
The SQL-Server database could not be opened ('Ecom.mdb') - the error is:

 System.InvalidOperationException: Timeout expired.  The timeout period elapsed prior to obtaining a connection from the pool.  This may have occurred because all pooled connections were in use and max pool size was reached.

   at System.Data.ProviderBase.DbConnectionClosed.OpenConnection(DbConnection outerConnection, DbConnectionFactory connectionFactory)

   at Dynamicweb.Database.GetConn(String strDatabase)

any idea ???

Yes

you are doing something wrong :)
 

dont you want to add me at your skype/Google talk?

I'm doing a screen cast of how to do it, I will post later.

Hi Stavros

Based on your last error message (Could not convert GlobalSetting.aspx), i can tell you, that your virtual directory /Files is pointing to the wrong location.

Dynamicweb cannot find /Files/GlobalSettings.aspx hence you get a conversion error and a SQL timeout since Dynamicweb cannot find a SQL-Server.
