I'm new to Umbraco and cant find any decent advice in this area.
I'd like to preferably setup Umbraco from the source code or set it up another way but still allow it to be run through Visual Studio.
I am wanting to use 4.7 source code as there is more support for it at the moment even though 5 is newer
Any suggestions of where to find good tutorials on setting up via source code or any other suggestions? I have all the resources to set Umbraco up just need the know how.
Version 5 seems much nicer for working with visual studio and compiles into debug mode like a normal .net solution. I have tried various different solutions to developing for version 4.
1. I have tried from the source code but it takes too long to compile and run based on the number of changes you need to make. This i think is more if you want ot make changes to the core.
2. My latest setup involves having one solution which has the compiled version website in (Build turned off), also a separate project for developing user controls (With a build events for copying the relevant dlls to the umbraco folder)
With this solution you can always attach to process if you want to debug the user controls.

Hi Adrian,
Version 5 seems much nicer for working with visual studio and compiles into debug mode like a normal .net solution. I have tried various different solutions to developing for version 4.
1. I have tried from the source code but it takes too long to compile and run based on the number of changes you need to make. This i think is more if you want ot make changes to the core.

Hope this helps.
HI, I have that issue too...
I need to customize the source code for my own needs, but I am wondered how to install and run the web presentation (UI) ?
It redirects me to the login page when I try to open the Install page... (http://localhost:SomePort/Install)
Can you help me and show me how to install the umbraco?
I do NOT want to install the compiled release, I need to change the sources.
Thank you
Best regards.
I found the way myself!!!
If u want to compile / build the source code, you will need to use the Nant ( http://nant.sourceforge.net/ ).
Go to the home directory of source code (where the file umbraco,sln exists) and then create a file "nant.bat" , right click on it add select edit,
Copy these lines:
@echo off
"C:\Program Files\NAnt\bin\NAnt.exe" %
Replace the address to the path that you've unzipped the nant.
runt the nant.batch, after executation, if no problem occurs, you can find the compiled umbraco at "build" folder.
add it to IIS az a virtual directory or run it via the WebMatrix ,etc.
Follow the installation wizard, go have fun :)
