DotNetNuke on Vista

Posted Tuesday, March 27, 2007 by Steven T Webster in DotNetNuke Current Rating:

Moving my DNN projects from my XP Backup to Vista was yet another "interesting" experience. I had read a few posts on the DNN forums (www.dotnetnuke.com) about core team members who had been running DNN on Vista for a while, a few even posted some tips - how hard could it be?

Actually, it was pretty easy. The first step involved copying over my backed up DNN directories and my SQL mdb and log files.

Next I set the permission on my DNN directory

Then I attached my SQL DB on SQL and setup a new user.

Now, the IIS setup is the only thing that is really different in IIS7. You need to select a ".net classic" AppPool for everything to work.

Launch IIS from Control Panel (Classic View) | Administrative Tools |

Add a new Application to Your Default Website (right mouse click and select Add Application)

Make sure when you setup your application that you select the Classic.net App Pool

I then changed my web.config to use the new SQL user

Browsed to the site and viola!, everything worked!
