I have my DNN site looking great on my development machine. What are the steps to upload everything to my hosting server?

In the upload, I would like to include:

  • Skins, containers, and images
  • New modules
  • Created pages
  • Content on created pages

There is probably documentation about this that I have missed. Please point me in that direction if it is available.

Thanks!

-Fred

Since no one has yet responded I am assuming publishing a site really difficult or it so straightforward that it is not worthy of a reply. Just looking for a hint on how to proceed here... Do I need to rebuild the whole thing on my hosting server or is there an easier way to get it up there?

Thanks in advance!

It's very straight forward. Under the 4.8.0 Downloads there's one for Docs. Inside the .zip file that you'll download is an installation guide that you can use to guide yourself through the installation. DNN doesn't need to be published out of Visual Studio but is a stand-alone application.

EDIT: I just saw your first post (when moderating we can't see previous posts) and there are ways of transferring a site from dev to production but I rarely do it that way. I think Mitchell Sellers has a tutorial on his site but it's also pretty straight forward. I think it's pretty much setup the portal alias for your production site and then backup the database and site. FTP/Copy everything to your production site and then restore the database on your host. Fix the web.config so that it points to the new database instance and you should be on your way.

Although Mike is right on with his instruction to you, I should point out that your assumption of this process not being straightforward is correct.  The exact steps will depend on a variety of things including custom providers, 3rd party modules, skins, database state and software, web host, web host FTP access, web host SQL Server access, etc.

It is not good to build out the site locally as you would want it on your live site.  Your local instance should only be for development, testing, and proof of concept trials.  I know that this is not common knowledge, as it stumps quite a few people on their first time using DNN.
