Well I have setup the following (for godaddy hosting acct):

(server is IIS6/7 asp.net 2.0) 

1.  Unzipped the install package and uploaded to godaddy.

2.  all www folder related items unzipped to root websites (with folders) (verified)

3.  Renamed the vinetype directory to (vinetype_base_system (exactly 20 char)

4.  Pulled out the bin directory and placed in root.

5.  Configured the vintype.config file

• $password:somethingquiteunique
• $website_title:Womens Entrepeneur Institute
• $website_tagline:Creating Connects - Business Made Easy
• $vinetype_directory:vinetype_base_system

Once completed - Check site as per instructions did not specify URI/URL specific filetype.

Currently No Web.config exists to muttle up the mix.

Error: - Unhandled Exception: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. at a.s(String A_0) at a.a(Object A_0, EventArgs A_1)

 Checked the directory it has read/write/execute privelages.  Unknown at this point with no reference point to draw from where the error could exist at.  Nothing special in the config I setup.

Hi. 

Thanks for giving Vine Type a trial run.  If your setup looks like the alternate setup shown in the graphic on this page:

 http://vinetype.com/default.aspx?section=installation

Then I would suspect the settings on the db folder. The error message used to provide the name of the service (I apologize for this oversight) that needs permission, but when we added caching to Ma.gnolia lists, the error is not being caught at the same place and therefore is not helpful.  -- as so demonstrated by your input above.

On IIS6 the service that needs full permissions to the db folder is NETWORK SERVICE.  I believe this is true also for IIS7 (at least it's true on my Win Vista system)
