Re: Error machineKey validationKey

Hi,

You uploaded the files to the wrong folder.

For a root site you should upload the contents of the wwwroot folder probably to httpdocs on your hosting or if you want to run it in a sub folder /cms then you need to upload the contents of the wwwroot folder to the cms folder. But instead you uploaded the wwwroot folder itself beneath cms. So the files are not in the correct location and will not work.

Hope it helps,

Joe

Re: Error machineKey validationKey

Generally you should install it in the root. You can install it in a sub folder but that sub folder must be marked as an application in IIS. Even doing that if there is another .NET app in the root then there can be conflicts between the web.config files, there is information about that in our developer faq.

Hope that helps,

Joe
