Installing Rock onto my server -- keep getting an error message!

4

Hi! We are hosting with Azure and I have set up our VM and am connected. I have downloaded rock into the web root folder and am now trying to install it. The problem is, when I enter http://localhost/Start.aspx [http://thepursuit/Start.aspx] in a web browser, i get an error message (Server Error in '/' Application)


It says the resource cannot be found, has been removed, changed or temporarily unavailable.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version: 4.0 .30319; ASP.NET Version:4.7 .2106.0


Any help would be GREATLY appreciated! :)

    I would say one of two possibilities.  1) What it says is accurate and the Start.aspx is not there, but that shouldn't cause a "Server Error in '/' Application", or 2) some prerequisite has not been completed for installing Rock.

    Would it be possible for you to post a screenshot of the entire error page you are getting?

    Okay, based on that error the Start.aspx file did not get put in the right place. This is an educated guess as I don't know your exact machine setup, but usually this file needs to be placed in the c:\inetpub\wwwroot folder.

      Ah, I see what you did. You need to put the Start.aspx file itself in c:\inetpub\wwwroot. The rockrms-install folder should not be there. So the full path to the file should end up being c:\inetpub\wwwroot\Start.aspx
