Welcome to the DotNetNuke Installer project
We have heard it again and again. DotNetNuke really needs an installer to help beginners with their first experience with DotNetNuke. But on the other hand the Installer should also be helping the more experienced users to quickly setup a new website with DotNetNuke.
The DotNetNuke Installer should take care of everything (ok, almost everything ...)
What is the DotNetNuke Installer?
The DotNetNuke Installer will take care of installing or upgrading DotNetNuke. It will guide the user through a series of pages and at the end will make all the settings based on what the user entered on the pages. Right now, the current version provides the following:
- the user can select what items he wants to install (Core files, source, documentation, one (or more) module(s))
- copy the files to the specified directory or to a remote FTP server
- create the virtual directory in IIS (sorry, no support for root websites just yet)
- create (or reuse an existing) database
- basic command-line support
Issues and Bugs
Please use the DotNetNuke Installer issue tracker to report bugs and issues found in the installer, this way we are able to schedule, solve, track, and test the issues raised. Bug reports reported in a forum tends to be forgotten when they are no longer at the top of the list.
If you are not sure if something is a feature or an issue, feel free to describe your findings in the special forums below so others are able to provide their views and opinions.
Why feedback?
We need your feature ideas and experience with the installer to help us make it even better, and positive feedback helps us confirm the design choices we make.
