host and admin login failure immediatly after install

I am trying to develop a DNN module. I have installed DNN through VS.Net Studio and the DNN Starter kit. The site installs and starts up but when I attempt to login as either the host or the admin I get redirected back to the main page with no additional functionality showing.

Using VS2005 and Starter Kit 4.4.1

Any ideas?

P.S. Sorry, I'm new to DNN, is there a way to debug this through Visual Studio?

Thanks!!

BTW Visual Studio .NET is not open source so I suggest you should get this Q moved to the .NET topic area

".NET is not open source"

Sorry, I thought this would be appropriate here as DNN is open source. I did actually list it in the .NET topic area also. At least I thought I did. I'll check that...

That should be good enough then.

Yes you must download the source and in the DotNetNuke.sln change the url to yoursite/dotnetnuke.vbproj (ex. "http://localhost/DNN337/DotNetNuke.vbproj") then open with vb.net IDE and change your setting in the web.config Debug="false" to Debug="true". A quick note... when unzipping your source file, you should go to properties of the source.zip and click Unblock. This will save you a little time with error messages the first time you open this in the IDE. When creating your own modules Code Smith(plugin for IDE) is great for helping you. http://dnnjungle.vmasanas.net/ is a great place for tutorials on setting things up.

Good luck!!
