I apologize in advance for a dead simple question, but I've queried here and on google about all the ways I can think of and I'm not coming up with it.
I downloaded the source, opened it up in VS 2010, compiled and ran and everything's good until I get the login page in the browser. For the life of me, I can't locate what the username and password should be to get past the login. I'm new to Umbraco development, but I'm very interested to dig in and see where it goes. Thanks for any assistance.
Is there any specific reason to why you compiled your own version instead of installing from the binaries?
I guess you ran the install process during the browser when loading your local site the first time...or? Because in this process you will be prompted to create a username and a password for the umbraco backoffice...
Originally, I did try to run from binaries, but I ran into some difficulty with one of the steps, using icacls to set permissions. The instructions were for Windows Server 2008 and I'm running Win 7 Enterprise 64 bit, but I don't necessarily see how that would make a difference.
Having VS 2010 installed, I wanted to see if I could get a local site running from within it. I downloaded the 4.7.0 release from Codeplex and dropped it in a folder. When I started the .sln file in VS and compiled it with no errors, I thought I'd try to just do F5 to try and run the site. The fact that it did indeed start up a browser and bring me to the login page made me think there might be some kind of default configuration. I never got as far as seeing backoffice. My subsequent looking has indicated to me that that might have been a bit optimistic on my part. :-) Not least, the lack of configuration of a database was a big sign that I was off the rails somewhere.
I eventually went the Web PI route and have been able to at least get an install of Umbraco up and running for some playing around with. I'm still on the fence about Web Matrix, so having the option to work from Visual Studio would be nice. I'm guessing that doing module development or skin development doesn't require me to be able to compile and run from source, so I probably won't pursue this vigourously, but it did strike as curious that I could get the site up and running more or less straight from source.

Hope these pointers help a bit?

Hello Bob,
I'm also new to Umbraco development.
Please tell me... Were you able to do it?
Best regards from Madrid :-)
