Below is a step by step installation procedure to install DotNetNuke v1.x portal on OISSite.com servers.
Note the installation procedure is only a guideline.
We do not support the DotNetNuke Portal software. If you run into installation problems, you are welcome to use our community forum for peer support or use the ASP.net forum at:

A) Getting DotNetNuke and Uploading to Webserver
- Download DotNetNuke from http://www.DotNetNuke.com
- Extract the content
- Open the Web.config file (under root) with any text editor
- Edit the connectionString key under the appSettings section in the web.config file
For example
<add key="connectionString" value="Server=<mssql server name>;Database=<database Name>;uid=<db username>;pwd=<db password>;" />
Replace the value with your account information inside < >
To avoid conflicts, we would highly recommend using a fresh database for the application install.
- Edit the line
<pages enableViewStateMac="true" />
to
<pages enableViewStateMac="true" validateRequest="false" />
- Upload all the files to your site. We recommend uploading DotNetNuke into a subdirectory. We DO NOT recommend uploading DotNetNuke to your root directory.
B) Create a Web Application
- Logon to your control panel (http://cp.oissite.com:8086)
- Navigate to the Web Application Tool
- Click on the subdirectory in your account where you uploaded all the DotNetNuke files
- Click Install Application
C) DotNetNuke Setup
- Open your browser and navigate to http://YourHostedDomainName.com/<DotNetNuke subdirectory>
- DotNetNuke will setup all the database objects when it first loads. This process MAY run for several minutes. DO NOT hit the stop button on the browser
Note:
1) Warning: Make sure you do not have iBuySpy Portal installed on your site. iBuySpy and DotNetNuke uses same database object name and can cause conflict.
2) Warning: If you install DotNetNuke in your root directory, your other .NET applications under the root may fail.
3) For more information on DotNetNuke, you can review the documentation under the /documentation directory
