Installing via Web Platform

Hi,

I am a newbie to MojoPortal and have just installed the latest version via Web Platform Installer 2.0.  The version is 2.3.5.5, but I can't tell which version of .Net it should run with..

I assumed it would be 4.0, but IIS gets configured as 2 by the installer.  I changed the app setting to 4.0.30319 but I cannot save any new content unless the IIS app is configured to run under 2.0.52707.

I have Windows 2003 and MS SQL Express 2008. 

Do I need to download and configure manually for 4.0? 

Thanks

Colin

Re: Installing via Web Platform

Hi,

The mojoPortal package in the Web App Gallery is for .NET 3.5, if you want the.nET 4 version, currently you need to download that from our download page though it can be installed using the Platform Installer/MSDeploy or by manual installation.

After Web Platform Installer 3.0 comes out of Beta then we will be changing our package in the Web App Gallery to 4.0 .NET.

Best,

Joe

Thanks Joe.

MojoPortal is looking like a great find for us.  I've given up on Umbraco but wanted to stay .Net

mojoPortal v2.3.5.5

I have just installed mojoPortal 2.3.5.5 on my local Vista machine through the Web Platform Installer to test mojoPortal. Everything is working very nicely and the install was easy. Now I want to upgrade to 2.3.5.8. Is it possible to use the Web Platform Installer to upgrade mojoPortal? What I mean is, if I get mojoPortal through the Web Platform Installer again will it know to upgrade and not do a new install?

Re: Installing via Web Platform

Hi,

No you cannot upgrade using the Web PI, and the version of mojoPortal in the Web App Gallery is still version 2.3.5.5 and it may be several weeks before the latest version is in there.

You can upgrade through the manual process and it is not too difficult.

Hope it helps,

Joe
