Hi !

I'm very new to DNN and have to ask what I have found almost impossible to find out (I've searched all the forums etc.) but is probably very basic.

 

1.  Which files do I have to upload to my  webhost ?

(I have a simple project with one page but there are 1578 files in the project folder adding up to 28.8Mb.  Surely I don't have to upload them all ?

 

2.  My webhosting site insists that the home page be called index.htm, index.html, default.htm or default.html.  DNN only seems to generate default.aspx

How do I get around this ?

 

Thank you very much indeed from a newbie that is troubling you with such basic questions.  I am enormously grateful for any light you can shed.....

Thanks !

Claire

Regarding number 1, have a look at my "installing to remote host" guide on my website http://www.mitchelsellers.com.

Regarding number 2, if they will not allow default.aspx as the default document, I would ensure that you are hosted on a plan that will support DotNetNuke.  YOu must be on a hosting plan that supports ASP.NET and SQL Server.  If the host supports ASP.NET they SHOULD support default.aspx as the default page.
