Hi
The first time I read about the next release (April 2007) I read that the release would be developed to work in "a" shared hosting environment. Now I read it will be developed to work in medium trust environment - sounds like GoDaddy... anyway. I relied on the original CMS by Telerik (radDesigner) to great lengths. I enjoyed the open licensing where I could use "it" for multiple servers and multiple projects. Sure wish the licensing for sitefinity looked the same. No matter the case I will likely purchase the next version because it truly looks like it's ready for today’s market/development atmosphere. Question: will I be able to launch in a shared environment via (for example) GoDaddy, IPower, 1&1, where permissions controls very widely??
Thanks
John

Hello John,

"Work in shared hosting environment" is not a correct concept for this feature, because different shared hosing providers (ISPs) could use different code security configuration. Therefore, a more accurate feature name is "Work in medium trust environment". The most of the ISPs use Medium Trust code security configuration, so perhaps Sitefinity will work on GoDaddy, etc.. But we can only guarantee that Sitefinity 3.0 will work in medium trust environment.

I'm sorry to bring back such an old thread, but how do I add the medium trust level to the web.config?

Thanks,

Hi Drew,

If I understand you correctly, you want to run your project locally in medium trust, is that right?
If this is the case, please add <trust lever="Medium"> in the <system.web> node of your web.config file.

Best wishes
Georgi,
The Telerik team.

Well I followed all the steps in the user manual to setup Sitefinity for running on Medium trust servers.  Basically, just changed web.config values and added the trust element.  When doing so, I got the following error when I attempted to run the application:

Configuration Error

Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: This configuration section cannot be used at this path.  This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using <location allowOverride="false"> from an inherited configuration file.

Does anyone know what could be causing me to get that error?

Thanks
Drew

Here is my web.config code.
