Day 1 with Dot Net Nuke

1. Register to DotNetNuke and download the latest version of DotNetNuke Community Edition.
2. Extract it and configure it as a website in IIS. Let’s call it ‘DNN website’. 
3. Open the DNN website in Visual Studio 2008.
4. On running it the installation page appears - http://localhost/dotnetnuke/Install/InstallWizard.aspx.
5. In select installation method, select typical, choose language English, click Next button.
6. On next page, test permissions of the application, when you pass the sufficient permission test, click next.
7. On next page you have to configure database connections. Configure your database here.  Click next.  It will complete the installation itself. On page 'Run Database Installation Scripts' in the textbox when you see 'Installation of Database Complete' click next. Also check-out the database you configured in previous page. You will see many tables and stored procedures created by DNN. Click next.
8. On the next page, 'Configure Host Account' create your SuperAdmin username and password. This username and password you will use to access your website's admin part. Click next.
9. Next page with title ‘Portal title’, provide host username/password and title to your portal. The host username/password will be used to access all the functionality of the portal. Submit the page and done! We have created our Dot Net Nuke portal.
