Installing Orchard CMS using IIS and SQL Server
Welcome to Orchard Beginner! Today we'll learn how to install Orchard CMS using IIS 8 and SQL Server.
Previous Installing Orchard CMS using SQL Server
For this example you'll need to have the Express or the Developer edition of SQL Server and IIS with all the features turned-on. Open SQL Server Management Studio and create a Database with name "orchardcms". Next navigation to the Inetpub folder -> wwwroot and then create a folder "orchardcms" and copy-paste the whole content of Orchard inside the orchardcms.
Now open the IIS Manager and then right-click on orchardcms and click "Convert To Application". Select the DefaultAppPool i.e. .NET 4.0 with Pipeline Mode as Integrated.
All done. Now click on Browse*:80(http) to navigate to the orchard website.
Now this error is due to a permission issue. We need to give write permissions to the following folder.
- App_Data
- Bin
- Media
- Themes(Only if you're installing a theme)
- Modules(Only if you're installing a module)
Installation Complete
Happy Orcharding!
