I've been given access to a server running Win Server 2003 for testing purposes. I'm hoping to install Umbraco but I am having a very hard time. I installed an earlier version on my local machine a while ago, using the Cassini/VistaDB instructions, but those didn't seem to work for the latest version - when I tried to run the Umbraco installer I got a .NET error "Child nodes not allowed."
So I thought I'd point IIS to Umbraco instead and run it that way, but that gives me an error "Unrecognized attribute 'restartOnExternalChanges'." I have been given a limited amount of time to get this installed and would appreciate if anyone had some pointers.
For background, I have installed .NET 3.5, Win Server '03 (IIS 6).
This may have to do with running the wrong version of .net for the application. Check to make sure you are running .net 2.0 on the asp.net tab of the virtual directory.
Are you using the 3.5+ web.config file downloaded from codeplex?
I have pointed the IIS site *and* the Cassini site to the same folder (C:\inetpub\umbraco4) and of course set them to different ports. I made sure to install the latest .NET framework from MS, and have selected 2.0 for .NET in both IIS and Cassini.
When I browse to either site (IIS or Cassini) I get:
Server Error in '/' Application.
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: Child nodes not allowed. Source Error:
Line 142: <compilers> Line 143: <compiler language="c#;cs;csharp" extension=".cs" warningLevel="4" type="Microsoft.CSharp.CSharpCodeProvider, System, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b77a5c561934e089"> Line 144: <providerOption name="CompilerVersion" value="v3.5"/> Line 145: <providerOption name="WarnAsError" value="false"/> Line 146: </compiler>
Which got me to exactly the same place error-wise. :(
Another question is, can we no longer use Cassini on the latest version of Umbraco? It's substantially more effort to get the server configured to run IIS and SQL Server before installing Umbraco.
Error on installing in IIS
Hi everyone,

Thanks in advance!

Argh! No luck.

Okay I found this documentation:

Which got me to exactly the same place error-wise. :(
