Category :
DotNetNuke
Below is a step by step installation procedure to install DotNetNuke portal version 2.x on our server.
To have DNN 2 installed, you need to have one MSSQL database.
Please backup all your existing files before you done any DNN installation.
Installation Instructions
A) Getting DotNetNuke and Uploading to Webserver
- Download DotNetNuke from http://www.DotNetNuke.com
- Upload the zip file from FTP, and then later on unzip the file using Copanel's File Manager.
- After that move all the files using File Manager from unzipped folder to the root folder (public_html) of your website.
- Create a new MSSQL Database from your copanel (only if you intend to use MSSQL as database backend)
- Set the read and write permission for ASP.net,IUSR and IWAM for the root folder (public_html)
For more info on how to set read and write permission
Please refer to http://kb.seekdotnet.com/ViewArticle/110data.aspx
B) Customizing the web.config file
This step is only necessary if you intend to use DNN with MS SQL database backend. Skip to Step C if you want to use MS Access as database backend.
- Open the Web.config file (under root) with any text editor.
- Edit the line
<data defaultProvider="AccessDataProvider" >
to
<data defaultProvider="SqlDataProvider" >
- Update the database connection information
<add name = "SqlDataProvider" type = "DotNetNuke.Data.SqlDataProvider, DotNetNuke.SqlDataProvider"
connectionString = "Server=<localhost>;Database=<DB_NAME>;uid=<User_Name>;pwd=<DB_password>;"
providerPath = "~\Providers\DataProviders\SqlDataProvider\" objectQualifier = "DotNetNuke" databaseOwner = "dbo"
/>
Update the highlighted fields with your account information.
Note: objectQualifier will be prepended to the table names. You can leave it blank or set it as whatever you wish.
Note: To avoid any conflicts, we would highly recommend using a fresh database for the application install.
C) DotNetNuke Setup
- Open your browser and navigate to http://yourdomain.com/
- 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
