Hi Razzy,

I've actually already done that. The error I posted last week is now the only error I'm getting once I follow the steps.

    Ok, try installing DotNetNuke on your computer.. and then take the web.config file and re-edit it so the connection strings match your hosting server and replace it with the other web.config u had at the start on ur hosting server.
That fixed it for me.. but got into another error which i am still trying to figure out..
I am about to change hosts.. i think it really is impossible to install it on the root in GoDaddy..still havent had any feedback from MichaelWinter for a few days now..

Sorry Razzy, but I have been very busy this last week.  I am also trying to create a work around for installing DotNetNuke using FTP to upload and change files/folders.

I've just completed a manual installation into a one-level-from-webroot GoDaddy subdirectory (/dnn), witnessed 4.0.3 install properly, but then anytime I invoke www.thenameofmywebsite.com/dnn, I receive the identical "Object reference not set" error, no matter what.

Does anyone have any hints for where I should start searching for the cause? I've resubmitted the permissions on all of my virtual folders . . . any other ideas?

I believe it has to do with trust levels as well; I installed my DNN site about 2 months ago on GoDaddy and got it working and have added a lot of modules. It was on Deluxe Hosting A 9.99/mo.(GoDaddy term) plan. They then moved me over to Deluxe Hosting B (6.95/mo.) this week and I can't install Modules anymore. The virtual folders work fine, I found that out by changing permission, trying FrontPage to manage permissions (didn't work, it made the site inaccessible), and then re-applying the virtual folder permissions, bingo the site came back. I bring up the A & B thing because that might have something to do with inconsistent DNN behavior. I don't know were to go from here! I tried to install a new installation of DNN on Deluxe Hosting B just last week and had all the same issue everyone else is having.

GoDaddy Hosting Support in relation to security is just plain crappy. They told me that " GoDaddy Hosting in not unlike renting garage space, we rent you the space but we will not fix your car, I'm not asking you to fix the car!"  I almost jumped thru the phone and ate her head! I said, "I understand you won't and are not obligated to fix my car, but you can't put nails in the garage door and say it is not your problem!".

Module install error:

Well, I got it installed. Basically it was a pretty easy install

1. Download and unzip the install package to a folder, upload those files to site.

The reason I uploaded the files first was because on the first two install attempts I created the virtual directories first, and always got the error that I posted earlier.

2. Create sql database and virtual directories that Michael described on http://www.northernstarsolutions.com/Troubleshooting/GodaddyHosting/tabid/61/Default.aspx

3. Edit connection strings and upload web.config

4. installed the site using website/install/install.aspx

The install did work, and I clicked the link to view my portal and got a database error about not being able to find Siteurls (because I forgot to move it prior to the install) so I moved it afterwards and refreshed the page and I got to the site.

Phase 1 is complete, now for the real bread and butter of dnn.... learning what to do with it. I'd like to thank Michael for all his help, and sticking around in this thread. And to everyone else who posted a solution to any problem.

Robirt and Michael,

We are currently using the value application that GoDaddy provides, and I have tried numerous times to install my own copy of DNN to our website and each time I am met with errors.  I would like to try again using Robirt's instructions, but when I began installing it following the directions above, instead of the files loading to my root, a directory named DNN was created, and the files started uploading to it.  Is this correct?  or should the files be uploading directly to my root level?  How do I correct this if they are supposed to load to my root? 

Thanks,
Michelle
