I am going to discuss the use of NETWORK_SERVICE, since anyone installing DNN 4.x should be using XP with all Service Packs or Windows Server 2003. This is what usually ends up frustrating people. Windows is very fussy about permissions. It’s also why I changed the web.config file before I set any permissions. There are times when you will move a file to another folder, made changes and save it back to the original folder. Windows is supposed to update the permissions, but it doesn’t do this all the time. Suffice to say, that if you are getting a permissions error, you need to revisit this step…no matter how much you believe that all of the permissions, for all of the files are set correctly. If you get a permissions error, I can assure you that at least one of the files in a folder or sub-folder (or a folder itself), does not have the same settings as the rest of the files and folders. What I do is go to the folder I created (in this case, C:/fingerfuel), right-click on the folder and select the ‘Securities’ tab (Note: If you do not see the Securities tab, you need to google ‘How to display the Security tab in Windows XP’ and follow the instructions to fix this problem. Microsoft has all kinds of little firecrackers to make this install more difficult). I give full-control to the NETWORK_SERVICE account: First, right-click on the top folder you created (in my example C:\Fingerfuel), and select ‘Properties’: Then go to the ‘Security’ tab: Click on the ‘Add’ button, when the next window pops up, click on the ‘Advanced’ button, and then click on ‘Find Now’ button. You will see all the Permissions available: Make sure you select the NETWORK SERVICE account. If you are preparing this for an internet site, don’t forget to also select the Internet Guest User! Or people who visit your site will only see a Windows User and Password popup…
