DNN Website Write Permissions

[RFH Customer: JamesM]

How have people got around the directory write permissions requirments in DNN? I have copied my DNN Distro 4.6.2 directory over, setup DB and I am getting directory write permissions required?

I know generically there is an option in Helm under Website Settings to allow Website Write Permissions, is this an option upon request?

Any Ideas (DNN 4.6.2)

Also my web.config looks like the following, would this be right?

</configSections>
<connectionStrings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005
<add
name="DotNetNuke"
connectionString="Server=ALUMINIUM;Database=MYDB;u id=MYUID;pwd=MYPASS;"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
-->
</connectionStrings>
<appSettings>
<!-- Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005 - kept for backwards compatability - legacy modules
<add key="DotNetNuke" value="Server=ALUMINIUM;Database=MYDB;uid=MYUID;pw d=MYPASS;"/>
-->

Hello James,
Website Write Permissions is defaulted to On (and is now permanently set) - it should be all you need to run DNN - what is the exact error you are getting and where are you getting it exactly?

Hi Warren,

I think it was to do with the 4.6.2 issues. I re-installed using 4.5.5 and it works fine.

Thanks for your help.
