I am totally new to Umraco. Infact this is my first post to the forums. I am trying from quite some time to get Umbraco working. I intend to install CMs on the subdomain of my site.
Initially, I tried to install Umbraco on my local ASP.NET and chose the web platform installation. During the installation process, I get this error:
User or role 'sarin' does not exist in the database. How do I create one?
Secondly, whenI was creating subdomain, the Panel showed ASP.NET 2.0 support for subdomain. I know that my host provides support for ASP.NET 3.5 for my main domain.
Is it that I read something wrong while creating subdomain or subdomain will have different ASP.NET support?
Thanks for the reply.I entered the correct Database username and password and I checked the login credentials by logging in to SQL Server Managment Studio Express 2008 through sql authentication.
I have downloaded the binaries from Codeplex but I need some help on what and how to use these?
Atlast I was able to install Umbraco on my local machine but on trying to run the application from Visual Studio. I encounter this error:
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
I'm happy that you managed to get Umbraco running locally without further help, even though I would wish I had seen you post earlier - but hey, you got there! :-)
I'm not sure why the error is happening but is there any particular reason why you want to run the application from visual studio?
I tried the steps from your screencast. When I type the name of website in the address bar like http://website20/ , the deafult IIS panel is shown and not the website.
I know I am not an expert in this but I have been trying this for a week now constantly trying with some different steps. The problem in only arising becuase I am bound to use an exisiting databse since my host doesnt allow to use more than one MSSQL database. So, I would have to use the same database for my subdomain too. blog.site.com. I have been fighting with SSQL Server Management Studio Express 2008 for the user mappping problem in the database and atlast installed Umbraco using an exising database.
There's only one error left now: Could not create type 'umbraco.webservices.documents.documentService'. E:\Users\Sarin\Documents\Visual Studio 2010\WebSites\WebSite20\umbraco\webservices\api\DocumentService.asmx 1
Here's the line from default.aspx which is showing this error.
Just remember that you can't run multiple umbraco instances on one single database because the table names can not be changed and installing the second site would overwrite the tables of the first one. Of course you can have multiple sites within umbraco (just create two nodes under the content section, right-click them and give them a hostname each).
Regarding your hostname problem, you need to set a hostname in IIS (bindings), in Umbraco (right click on a node and choose Manage Hostsnames), and, if it's something like website20 you also need to add it to your windows hosts file, pointing to the IP address of the webserver.
Well you should Google that config error, it has something to do with a conflict in the hosts config and yours, but I'm not entirely sure what it could be really.
So.. huff! after a lot fo effort setting up the database, mapping, user roles, etc. etc. I also figured out a way to use this.
I just excluded the web sevices from umbraco/webservices/api from the project and that's it. May be these would have been left out from a previous version or something :-/
1) Other than this, I would like to ask how do I have to take this online on my subdomain now? Just as it is through ftp?
2) Secondly, I am using a XTML template on my main domain and I think it would be good to keep the same theme and use the same template for Umbraco too. But I wasn't able to figure out how to change the template for this? Can you please elaborate some steps?
Unable to install Umbraco on local website
Hi,

Hi Harpreet
Have you chosen to install the MSSQL server express 2008 as well? If so I think that it's during that process you need to create the DB user as well?
Is it an option for you to download the binaries from codeplex perhaps and install Umbraco using them instead of the installer perhaps?
You can find them here: http://umbraco.codeplex.com/

Hi Jan,

Hi,
Atlast I was able to install Umbraco on my local machine but on trying to run the application from Visual Studio. I encounter this error:
It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
Hi harpreet
sorry for my late answer.
I'm happy that you managed to get Umbraco running locally without further help, even though I would wish I had seen you post earlier - but hey, you got there! :-)
I'm not sure why the error is happening but is there any particular reason why you want to run the application from visual studio?
If it's because you want to develop user controls, xslt files, event handlers etc I think you should consider another approach like the one Matt describes in this blogpost. http://blog.mattbrailsford.com/2010/07/14/visual-studio-project-structure-for-umbraco/
This post done by Aaron could maybe also be of interest to you: http://www.aaron-powell.com/how-i-developer-umbraco
But of course I know this does not answer the actual question you're having...how is your site setup in IIS? Can you perhaps post a screendump?
/Jan
Hey Jan,
Thanks! I'll try this and get back.Apart from this, Aaron's post will also work on .NET Framework 3.5, right?
I was also wondering if this can be installed as easily as Wordpress without any local installation if I have a subdomain ready like blog.example.com
Harpeet: Yes, Aaron's version will work on .net 3.5.
Here's an install video I've made a while back, it still mostly applies to the new version.
And here's my Visual Studio setup, for an alternative idea.
