Good Evening,

I would like to install DNN 4.9.1 on a dedicated server running Windows 2003 and SQL Server Express.  In reviewing the documentation and forums, several questions are still unanswered:

1.  Is it recommended to download and install DNN on my development machine, develop the site first, then move it to the host server?  My development machine is running SQL Server 2005 , not Express.

2.  Which installation package should be used for development vs. for host server?

3.  If it is recommended to install DNN on developer box, how do I go about moving the site when its time to share with my client?  Or, is it better to just create a subdomain on the hosting server for client to review as I work?

Thanks, in advance, for any/all assistance and "gotchas".

Sebastian,

To confirm, you would recommend setting up the client's server and developing the site directly on it?  In addition, I should setup DNN on my developer box and use that setup to create any custom work, which can then be imported into the server's DNN environment?

Thanks,

Sid

Sebastian,

This is a big help.  Thank you!!  Besides the forums, can you provide links to any sites that might provide good help for newbies?

Thanks Again,

Sid
