Dotnetnuke 05.02.00 – Installation Steps With Screenshot

Download the Dotnetnuke 05.02.00 CE Beta from Dotnetnuke website. You can either download Install or Source version. For this article I used Dotnetnuke 05.02.100 CE Beta source code version.

You can download the Dotnetnuke 5.2.0 from the Beta Testing page on DotNetNuke.com. They currently have Dotnetnuke 05.02.100 Beta available for download.

Extract the Dotnetnuke 05.01.00 Beta zip file in a folder. Then open the folder and rename the release.config file to web.config file.

Now open your host file which is located at C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts. Add a local DNS entry as shown below. Save and close the file.

Note: in place of dnn520.laksha.net you can use anything like www.dnn520.com etc.

PS: Screen shots are distorted due to repost using Live Writter. I had to repost as I made a mistake in title (I wrote DNN 5.1.0) and blogger does not allow changhing URL once you post. So I had to delete and recreate a new post.

Now open IIS manager and create a new website. In the Site name & host name enter the DNS name that you added in the host file. Also browse the physical path of the folder where you extracted the Dotnetnuke files. Remember to browse the website folder.

Now open the IE or Firefox and type the http://dnn520.laksha.net. Hit enter. It will take few minutes and will start the install wizard.

Select Custom in the install method and click next.

Click at Test Permission. It should say “Your site passed the permissions check.” otherwise open the website folder and give modify access to the “Network Service” account. If you running your application pool under a different identity then give modify permission to that account.

Next screen you will have to add SQL database connection string. In this test I am using SQL Express 2008 so no need to change anything and just click Test Database Connection.

Using SQL Server 2000/2005/2008

If you planning to use the SQL Server 2005 or 2008 then first create an empty database a new SQL user account in the SQL server. Then give admin rights on new database to this new user.

Now in the Configure Database Connection screen, change the select database to SQL Server 2000/2005/2008 and add database, user id & password details. You will see user id and password entry text box when you uncheck Integrated Security checkbox.

Click next and it will start installing the Dotnetnuke 5.2.0
