While setting up a new installation of Dynamic Web (my first attempt) I'm getting an error as soon as the application starts. I'll also note that I thought the documentation for new installations is quite lacking. For example actually locating the Default database backup was not straight forward and it's also not clear what actually needs to be added to the Files directory. Those problems aside I'd like to get this copy of Dynamic Web 8 working for evaluation purposes.
