Does umbraco 4.5 live only in wwwroot? (and other restrictions)
Hello, i'm a new to umbraco. I'm need to get answer for a few of my quesetions on installation procedure.
Installing umbraco 4.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2, SQL 2008. Want to understand the restrictions existing for 4.5
1) What version of ASP.Net should work umbraco site (for me it seems to work under ASP.Net 4.0 NOT Classic)
2) Sould Application pool be run under Network service ONLY? (if i understand right its nessesory for acces to file system resources).
3) Should wwwroot (as claimed in all "setup guides") be used as physical location for umbraco site (for me it seems to work in different folder i used inetpub\umraco45)
4) So is it possible to get woking several versions of umbarco woking fine (on different IIS Sites, AppPools, Folders)? (as for me i dont see why it sould not be possible)
5) And the last question: What problems can be faced during intalling umbraco 4.5 on provider's shared hosting enviroments?
Hi and welcome to umbraco... here's some answers to your questions:
1. umbraco 4.5 runs on .net framework 4.0 by default, you could change some web.config entries to run under 3.5
2. nope, application pool can run under any user, which needs the necessary file permissions on your umbraco installation folder and underlying folder structure
3. nope, umbraco can run from any folder, just need to make sure that your iis site points to that directory, and if I'm not wrong, umbraco should be running fine from virtual directories as well
4. yes, you can run multiple umbraco instances on the same server (just point the iis sites to different root folders). Each umbraco instance uses its own db. You can however run multiple sites from a single umbraco installation.
5. As long as the hosting provider supports full trust, then it's fine.

Hope this helps.

Thanx =)
RE: Dirk, I thought Umbraco 4.5 now supported medium trust?
I'm not sure if medium trust made it in and is fully working. I *think* it did, but not 100% sure
