Installing .NET Nuke

I read DotNetNuke supports OpenID out of the box and I wanted to try it out.  This post covers the installation of DNN.  A future post will cover configuring OpenID.

Environment:

• Windows 7 64 bit
• IIS 7.5
• SQL Server 2008 R2

Downloaded DotNetNuke Community Edition version 5.05.01

Listened to the DotNetNuke Installation Webinar while doing the following:

Right click properties on the zip file. Uncheck Unblock.

Unzipped the community edition.

read .\Documentation\Readme.txt

Open SQL Server Management Studio connect to .\

Created a new database on my local machine named DotNetNukeTest.  Set initial size to 20 MB.

Expand the security node.  Right click Logins 

Click 'New Login...'

Select SQL Server Authentication

login Name: DotNetNuke

password:IloveGravityWorks

Uncheck Enforce password policy

select User Mapping map to DotNetNukeTest and set role membership to db_owner

Moved the folder to c:\www\

Opened Internet Information Services Manager

Expanded the Sites node.

Right click Sites, Add Site
  Site Name: DotNetNukeTest
  Change Application Pool back to DefaultAppPool
  Physical path: C:\www\DotNetNuke_Community_05.05.01_Install

  Port: 8081

right click C:\www\DotNetNuke_Community_05.05.01_Install -> Properties
select Security tab
click Edit
Click Add
Ensure From this location: is set to your computer name
Object name --> IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool
OK
Grant the DefaultAppPool user modify permissions
OK
OK

Browse to http://localhost:8081 in Chrome

Select Custom install (I always like doing this for new software)

Next through File Permissions Summary.

Select 'SQL Server 2005/2008 Database' instead of SQL Server 2005/2008 (Express File).
Server: "."
Database: "DotNetNukeTest"

Uncheck 'Integrated Security"
User ID: "DotNetNuke"
Password:'IloveGravityWorks'

I fix my SQL Server authentication and then click Next

change the password, and email fields.  I leave SMTP alone.

on the Install Optional Modules I select all modules:
