I have a fresh installation of blogengine.net on my domain, which is hosted on a 2012/IIS 8 server. I've been using IIS7 manager to administrate it, though. I've followed the instructions perfectly. I've checked with discountasp.net support and they have triple checked my permissions, and they have "script" attributes. I CAN get to my domain/blog/ folder. I can log in. I can even edit and add categories. But I CANNOT create a new user, change the theme, cannot post, etc. ... the page just remains stagnant and doesn't do anything when I click the 'save' button. I've googled this to the hilt, and people have had similar problems, but their solutions haven't worked. If anybody can offer any guidance out there, it'd be greatly appreciated! ~ Jason
My blogengine.net is located in my root/blog/ directory. I just kept tinkering with the web.config style. Save, upload, refresh. Save, upload, refresh, and I think I figured it out. If indeed this continues to work, I'll let you know what my web.config ends up being like in case anybody else has these issues. P.S. -- thanks for all your help and support -- it's been overwhelming! Maybe my sarcasm sucks. Oh well. ... lol ~ Jason
Hi Jason, I just installed BlogEngine with the Web Application Gallery tool in our Control Panel on an empty IIS8 test account in a sub-directory, and I was able to create users without any issue. There must some kind of conflict with the web.config in the root of your account, and the one in the BlogEngine sub-directory.
Hey Jason, I remember trouble shooting your problem over the support system. As it turns out it was some kind of inheritance happening from your root's web.config file and your /blog web.config file. As soon as we renamed your web.config file on the root directory your /blog application started working correctly.
