Hi lee, I am a new subscriber to your website tutorials and I am very excited about learning all these new aspects of the DotNetNuke. I am currently using 4.x and is up and running though I think the installations is not at its best in other words I think I should reinstall it to its perfection. (which I think is impossible) I am currently working through the tutorials and ran in to some problems first (part 6 How to create a skin for dotnetnuke) I encounter a blank page after appending /install/install.aspx?mode=InstallResource to my localhost url. I then follow the the video tutorial and stopped at the point were I did not see the vortex 1 Pane – Fixed Width pages skin in the dropdown listbox (Advance setting -> Page skin) However I did find a different way by uploading the file through host->skin-> and choosing the vortex 1 Pane – Fixed Width skins dropdown listbox . Why cant I do this through host but only through site? I would prefer doing it the way your tutorial/video explains Another thing I am actually using my default website to build these tutorials. I hope this is enough information. Thanks

Hello and welcome to the site! For the auto install, I would check your web.config file - look for autoupgrade and make sure it is set to true. (By default it is set to true). If it is set to false you can not use the install URL. <add key="AutoUpgrade" value="true" /> If this doesn't solve the problem which version of 4.x are you using? If it is 4.3.x it could be a bug as this is an alpha version. Does this help? Thanks,

Hi Lee, I checked the web.config file and found the key autoupgrade set to true. The version that I am currently using is 4.3.2 I did not pay close attention that it is a release candidate Thanks for helping me realize this. Can you please refer me to the better installation application? If desperation kicks in I will install 4.0.3 which is not a candidate. I will keep working with this version under your tutorials (I am so excite I can’t stop working on learning with your tutorials) and wait for your response. I would like to thank you very very much for all the work you have done which I presume that it was and is lots of hard work. Well I hope my comments can give you some type of joy. Thanks again

The previous 4.0.3 is the stable version, but I can not guarantee this will fix your problem, there maybe other issues occurring that I am not aware of, such as settings with your host provider. If you are just in the testing / play stage then I would try 4.0.3 and see if that fixes the problem. Another reason why the install URL may not be working could be due to not setting the correct read / write permissions settings within your DNN installation. - Quite often this is set by your hosting provider and if they are experienced with DNN installations they should have configured this for you already. I'm glad you are finding the tutorials useful, it's always good to hear! - Perhaps you would like to leave a testimonial in this section of the forum? - http://www.dnncreative.com/Forum/ta...fault.aspx Thanks,

Hi lee, I installed DotNetNuke 4.0.3 everything seems to be going fine and my install url is working perfectly, although I notice that there is less modules on this version which is a little of a disappointment I am currently trying to manually install the modules needed. Thanks

Yes previous versions did not automatically include items such as the forum module and other modules that have been developed using the core projects teams, so it's just a matter of downloading the code for the modules you require and installing them. Thanks,
