Help Deploying DotNetNuke
Posted: 21 Jan 06 5:46 AM

I just started using DotNetNuke for the first time about a week ago...I'm amazed at how easy it is to use the modules to design a personal web site.  However, I've run into a problem; I created a web site on my local computer.  I made a backup of my local SQL Server database and restored it to my hosted database. 

When I tried to open the hosted site, it opened without too many problems but it appeared to be missing some modules and images.  So, I FTP'ed my project to the site (which took a LONG time, by the way).  I am now getting an error page that says, "You are not authorized to view this page".

So, my questions for doing local development and deploying to a host:

1A) Although there were some inconsistencies the site was not displaying an error page, BEFORE I uploaded my project.  So, why would the solution work on my local pc and not on the hosted site?

1B) If I create a module, what tables should I copy from my local DotNetNuke database?

2) Is copying tables from the database sufficient to get the pages or site deployed?

3) I haven't created any custom code yet so, what files in the DotNetNuke project should I copy to my database (other than images that I've added to the project)?

4) Is there any documentation on the DotNetNuke web site (or anywhere) that would lend some insight and generally make this less painful?

Forgive me for these novice questions.

thanks

Dexter

Dexter,
I highly recommend you read the Module Developers guide on the DotNetNuke documentacion package. This will guive a better understanding on how developing modules for DNN works and also how can they be packaged in order to be installable at other servers.

I have experience in the web-development world but  am too a DNN newbie and I have a similar problem.

I am planning on using DNN with its core and some custom modules to build an application.

In order to do this I need, for instance, to predefine some tables using de UDT module, and load some data onto them so I can then use it on my custom-modules.

I am planning on doing this on my development environment, but once I finish the development of custom modules and customization of the DNN portal I need to upload it to my production environment as it is, with its configured modules and data.

Is this possible? Where can I find more info on how to do this?

thanks in advance.
Ben

Once you have your portal configured locally and with all the modules and content you desire you can backup the database and restore to your real server. Then copy the files and finally adjust the url in the portalalias table.

I've done this a couple of times and works perfectly.
