- This instruction is for DotNetNuke 4.3.7
- try version 4.4.1, I got error during installation even thought I can still access the web site after installation
- try version 4.5.5, Cannot even install this build. from web, somebody complaint similar problem.
Here is the detail procedure for install on godaddy.com server
- .NET Framework 2.0 must be installed
- SQL Server 2000 or 2005, create database 'mydatabase'
- Modify web.config, set the connection string in TWO places, comment "Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express" part, uncomment "Connection String for SQL Server 2000/2005" part,set correct connection string
- using FTP tools to create new folder "dnn".
- Create virtual folder, go to godaddy.com's control panel, go to "Content"/"Directory Management", click "Create directory", enter name "dnn", set flag "Read"/"Web"/"Browse"/"Write"/"Set Root", then click continue. (wait about half an hour)
- upload everything to "dnn" folder
- browse to "http://www.mydomain/dnn/
- select default "Typical"/"English", hit "Continue"
- click "Test Permissions", then click "Continue"
- click "Next" to start the installation procedure
- make sure you always backup your files/database before upgrading to a new version
- unzip the code over top of your existing application ( using the Overwrite and Use Folder Names options )
- rename release.config -> web.config
- merge any localized settings from your old web.config to the new web.config. These typically include:
- connection strings ( SiteSqlServer )
- machine keys ( validationKey and decryptionKey ) (if not changed, the password of user "host"/"admin" will be change to something unknown)
- objectQualifier - browse to localhost/DotNetNuke in your web browser
- the application will automatically upgrade to version 4.4.1
- same procedure as upgrading from 4.3.7 to 4.4.1
SMTP Server Settings:
- SMTP Server: smtpout.secureserver.net
- SMTP Authentication: Basic
- SMTP Username: xyz@mydomain.com

To install 4.5.5 in the local machine is fine, here is how
- the {Server}/NetworkService user account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the root website directory and subdirectories ( this allows the application to create files/folders )
- the [SERVER]\ASPNET User Account must have Read, Write, and Change Control of the virtual root of your website.
- browse to localhost/DotNetNuke in your web browser
- the application will automatically execute the necessary database scripts and provide feedback in the browser
