[size=100:2a0r3ix5]Log in (or register) to DotNetNuke.com and get the latest source package available from Downloads page. Note that; you should download 4.x versions for ASP.NET 2.0 and 3.x versions for ASP.NET 1.1.[/size:2a0r3ix5][size=100:2a0r3ix5]After downloading source package extract it to a folder on your Desktop (for example Godaddy Practice folder).[/size:2a0r3ix5][size=100:2a0r3ix5]Now review the directory structure on extracted folder. You need to check Website folder under extracted folder. We are going to create many virtual directories to make it run at root level. Now, lets continue with next step.[/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5]2) Choose [b:2a0r3ix5]Hosting Servers > My Hosting Account[/b:2a0r3ix5] from main navigation menu.
[/size:2a0r3ix5]
[size=100:2a0r3ix5]3) [b:2a0r3ix5]Manage Hosting[/b:2a0r3ix5] page will open. From there you will be able to pickup your hosting packages for listed domains. In this example I’ll be using my domain name, [url=http://www.mikroproje.net/:2a0r3ix5]mikroproje.net[/url:2a0r3ix5] as an example.[/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5]4) Click [b:2a0r3ix5]check box[/b:2a0r3ix5] button and click on your domain name. Page will refresh with [b:2a0r3ix5]Hosting Account Details[/b:2a0r3ix5] like following picture.

After finishing previous steps you need to upload your files to the web server via FTP. You may want to use a free client like[url=http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/:2a0r3ix5]Filezilla[/url:2a0r3ix5] for uploading your files to web server.
[/size:2a0r3ix5][b:2a0r3ix5]
[size=100:2a0r3ix5]Lets explain how to use Filezilla for your hosting account.[/size:2a0r3ix5][/b:2a0r3ix5]
[size=100:2a0r3ix5][b:2a0r3ix5]Download[/b:2a0r3ix5] and [b:2a0r3ix5]install[/b:2a0r3ix5] latest version of [b:2a0r3ix5]Filezilla client[/b:2a0r3ix5] and run it. Use [b:2a0r3ix5]CTRL+S[/b:2a0r3ix5] combination to open up [b:2a0r3ix5]Site Manager[/b:2a0r3ix5] window. Create [b:2a0r3ix5]new website profile[/b:2a0r3ix5] for your website (you may skip this step if website profile already exists).[/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5]In [b:2a0r3ix5]Site Details[/b:2a0r3ix5] section enter your domain at [b:2a0r3ix5]Host[/b:2a0r3ix5] field. [b:2a0r3ix5]Default port[/b:2a0r3ix5] value is [b:2a0r3ix5]21[/b:2a0r3ix5]. Do not change this value unless told otherwise. Default value for [b:2a0r3ix5]Server type[/b:2a0r3ix5] field is [b:2a0r3ix5]FTP[/b:2a0r3ix5]. Do not change this field too. Choose [b:2a0r3ix5]Normal[/b:2a0r3ix5] as [b:2a0r3ix5]Logon Type[/b:2a0r3ix5]. Provide your [b:2a0r3ix5]username[/b:2a0r3ix5] and [b:2a0r3ix5]password[/b:2a0r3ix5] at [b:2a0r3ix5]User[/b:2a0r3ix5] section. Click on [b:2a0r3ix5]Save and Exit[/b:2a0r3ix5] button to record changes.

Use [b:2a0r3ix5]CTRL+S[/b:2a0r3ix5] again to open up and connect to newly created Website. Choose your website and click on [b:2a0r3ix5]Connect[/b:2a0r3ix5] button.[/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5]After connecting you will see storage area at right pane. [b:2a0r3ix5]Remote site[/b:2a0r3ix5] field should include your website account username (for example: /username). Also you should see the virtual directories created at [b:2a0r3ix5]Step 3[/b:2a0r3ix5].

Now navigate to local [b:2a0r3ix5]Website[/b:2a0r3ix5] folder (extracted from source package at [b:2a0r3ix5]Step 1[/b:2a0r3ix5]) from [b:2a0r3ix5]Local Site[/b:2a0r3ix5] field at left pane.[/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5]For example: [b:2a0r3ix5]C:/Documents and Settings/Administrator/Desktop/DotNetNuke_4.5.1_Source/Website[/b:2a0r3ix5].

[b:2a0r3ix5][color=#a0a0a0:2a0r3ix5]Important note:[/color:2a0r3ix5][B]Upload all folders[/b:2a0r3ix5] (!) in the [b:2a0r3ix5]/DotNetNuke_4.5.1_Source\Website[/b:2a0r3ix5] directory to [b:2a0r3ix5]/username/[/b:2a0r3ix5] directory at FTP server. But do not upload [b:2a0r3ix5]files[/b:2a0r3ix5] yet.
[/B]
[/size:2a0r3ix5]
[size=100:2a0r3ix5]Upload all remaining files (!) to /username/godaddyroot/ directory at FTP server.[/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5]Since we cannot change root permissions of our username directory, we need an alternative way. It comes at next paragraph.

After finishing uploading files, read following section carefully!!!
Navigate to /username/godaddyroot/ directory from FTP client. Select all files with pressing CTRL+A keys. Move (you can use drag and drop feature) all of the files to parent directory (/username/ directory).

Navigate to /username/Config/ directory from FTP client. Simply select Compression.config, SiteUrls.config and SolutionExplorer.oml.config files and drag and drop them to parent directory (/username/ directory).[b:2a0r3ix5]

[B][color=#a0a0a0:2a0r3ix5]Knowledge Base: The difference between Copy and Move actions.[/color:2a0r3ix5][/b:2a0r3ix5]
[/B]Copying files between directories do not keep file permissions. The files inherit new permissions of directory. But moving files keeps file permissions. So in this example we practiced how to fight with Godaddy.

Lets say we have two directories called Directory A, Directory B.
Directory A is a parent directory and has only read permission.
Directory B is a sub directory and has read, web, write and root permissions.

If we copy files at Directory B and paste them under Directory A, effective permissions of the files will be only read. Because files will inherit permissions of Directory A.
But if we move files from Directory B to Directory A file permissions will remain.

You can practice this example with your operating system (Windows XP, Windows 2000, Windows Server 2003 and Windows Vista) (With NTFS permissions) [/size:2a0r3ix5]

[size=100:2a0r3ix5][b:2a0r3ix5]Lets continue with last step to install DotNetNuke over Godaddy root directory[/b:2a0r3ix5].
After moving files from [b:2a0r3ix5]/username/godaddyroot/[/b:2a0r3ix5] to [b:2a0r3ix5]/username/[/b:2a0r3ix5] you should be able to install [b:2a0r3ix5]DotNetNuke[/b:2a0r3ix5] without any errors.

[b:2a0r3ix5]Browse[/b:2a0r3ix5] http://www.yourwebsiteaddress.com/Insta … de=Install and [b:2a0r3ix5]DotNetNuke[/b:2a0r3ix5] installation will start. Ensure that installation completes without any errors. Once installation completed you should immediately change your [b:2a0r3ix5]Host[/b:2a0r3ix5] and [b:2a0r3ix5]Admin[/b:2a0r3ix5] accounts’ passwords.

If you have any errors while installing DNN, please read this [b:2a0r3ix5]documentation[/b:2a0r3ix5] again.
