SUMMARY
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:
http://www.asp.net/Forums/ShowForum.aspx?tabindex=1&ForumID=90.
Installation Instructions
A) Getting DotNetNuke and Uploading to Webserver
- Download DotNetNuke from http://www.DotNetNuke.com
- Extract the content to your local machine
B) Customizing the web.config file
- Rename release.config file (under root) to web.config.
- Open the Web.config file with any text editor.
- Update the database connection information
<add key="SiteSqlServer" value="Server=<localhost>;Database=<DB_NAME>;uid=<User_Name>;pwd=<DB_password>;Trusted_Connection=False" />
-Update the highlighted fields with your account information
-Add "Trusted_Connection=False" option
-We also recommend modifying the objectQualifier option in the <data defaultProvider="SqlDataProvider"> section. The objectQualifier will be prepended to the table names. For example, setting it to "DotNetNuke3" will result in table names like DotNetNuke3_Users. This prevents naming conflict from other tables that you may have in your database.
-To avoid any conflicts, we would highly recommend using a fresh database for the application install.
C) Upload all the files to your site. We recommend uploading DotNetNuke into a subdirectory. We DO NOT recommend uploading DotNetNuke to your document root directory.
D) 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
E) 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: If you install DotNetNuke in your document root directory, your other .NET applications under the root may fail.
2) For more information on DotNetNuke, you can review the documentation under the /documentation directory
