Hello everyone!

I just registrered. And this Dotnetnuke sounds really great. So great and free? Where´s the catch? I am though wondering about some stuff:

• I use a web hotel called Box Hosting (www.box.se)
• My site is supposed to be hosted at their servers

What do i need do set up and develop my site? What are the requirements? I mean, the asp.net framework and database (which is access, right? Or is it optional?), is the host that shall supply me with this, or how does it work?

I just wanna be sure that it´s working for me before installning! So if anybody can explain for me how it works, i would be really glad!

//Thank you,
//regards, Bjorn, Sweden

Hello,

Many thanks for your reply! My host has Windows hosting with Asp.net 1.1 or 2.0. And have the possibility to hire a MS SQL database, but can´t i use a MS Access database? (or do this complicate stuff)

Thanx,

Hello there,

So you mean that it´s only the version DNN 2.1.2 that supports Microsoft Access? None of the newer versions work with Microsoft Acess? I just thought that (in the beginning for my personal site) it´s unnecessary to use MS SQL as a database (since it costs money) and better to use MS Access. But i suppose the newer versions of DNN, in contrast, has a better user interface, more advanced functions etc.

Where can i find info about which versions works with which databases?

If you look on the link below you´ll see that Box offers MS SQL as a additional service (that costs a small amount per month):

Thanx for you reply,
