Which installation document is best for installing on a shared web host?
All:
I've been developing Umbraco locally and now it's time to make the plunge and install Umbraco in a shared hosting environment. Which document would best help me get this going?
The document you write along your path to exploring installing Umbraco onto a shared server.
http://www.nextlevel.dk/ they host it perfectly, have about 20 websites with them. There is only one thing they still do not have SQL 2005 but for now I don't mind because I spoke to them and they told me that it is on it's way.
After failing to install 4.5.2 for .NET 4.0, I contacted IX. (which is when I asked what version of IIS and .NET were avaialble)
Here's some of what I had done prior in the Control Panel:
Set up the MSSQL database as seen in many tutorials.
I licked on the edit button for ASP - there I could change the frameword version. After choosing 2.x, then 3.5 came up.
I also went in and changed the web directory settings for the domain to allow scripts & executables, with both read & write access. (I'm not sure if I opened this up too much - I'm not a security person) - you coudl try it without openign it up first.
THe IXwebhosting support person told me he set up my umbraco directory as a "virtual application folder" (I'm not sure what he had to do, or what that means, but it worked)
once I then deleted the Umbraco .NET 4.0 version files/folders, and uploaded the file/folders for .NET 3.5, the installation ran without error.
Now to incorporate my 100+ page static site into this system to make it manageble!

hi,
My shared host is IXwebhosting. I found out that the servers (or at least mine) run on IIS6 and .NET 3.5
I found on copeplex, under Other Available Downloads, a web deply version of 4.5.2 for .net 3.5
