    How do I access my published site

    I installed umbraco - had a lot of grief but I think it works.  Now I want to do these two tasks:

    1.) Create a hello world page

    2.) Type the url of my site in my browser and see my page.  What url do I use???

     

    By the way, I downloaded the source code and built it

    My iis is configured to point to C:\inetpub\Umbraco\branches\4.1.0\umbraco\presentation

    as the root dir.  I access umbraco admin at http://umbraco.mydomain.com/umbraco/umbraco.aspx

    That takes me to the admin page.  I have no idea what to use for the url of my published site.

    Sorry to have to ask dumb questions like these.  I was hoping I would find answers in the newbie guide.  Perhaps I missed it there too?

    Hi Sam,

    Where did you download Umbraco from?  The path seems unusual.  I find the easiest way to install the latest version is via the Microsoft web platform installer.

    I would recommend installing the Runway starter package as a starting point.  (Developer - Packages - B

    Thank you Barry and Johan.

    @Barry,  I downloaded Umbraco from codeplex.

    The following link was very helpful in helping me install Umbraco from source code. That is where I found the path I specified.  (I found nothing of this nature in the Umbraco documentation).

    Hi Sam,

    I would recommend not installing from source but use the binaries instead. here's a link
