WinHost Install help: error security exception

2

Hello I am new to rock and cant get the start.aspx file to display. Details below


Domain hosted on Godaddy.com with DNS Name Servers pointing to winhost. Testing and working. Tested with a default.html file in multiple directories.

ns1.winhost.com
ns2.winhost.com
ns3.winhost.com


WebHost: WinHost.com

Followed install instructions for winHost and am at the point where I am accessing the start.aspx file but am getting the same security Exception error. Using FileZilla to upload the start.aspx file. I tried using the root dir as well as a test but don't want to use the root, same resulting error.

    Hey Kevin,  

    Welcome to the group!  Have you looks at the documents for hosting here: https://www.rockrms.com/Rock/BookContent/3/91#winhost ?

    I would give those a read to get started. also I would not install rock in a subfolder as it will cause problems linking to pages.  I would suggest creating sub domains like Rock.tamarindochurch.net

    Found the answer, Forgot the web.config, for some reason I missed it in the install instructions or it's missing. My issue was I needed to create a web.config file and drop it in the same dir as the start.aspx file. I was super new to this and took a little bit to figure out. I am posting incase anyone seraches the same error I had. 1. Create a web.config file. 2. I entered this exactly as is. 3. Save and upload to the same folder or dir as the start.aspx file. 4. Step 4 is only if you are not installing the ROCK in the root. I Used a sub dir so I needed to tell winhost where the application starting point is. Open winhost site manager and select "Application starting point" enter the sub dir and you should be all set.
