Configuration checklist for BlogEngine.NET hosting with GoDaddy

by Klaus Graefensteiner 14. September 2010 03:50

This is a very short blog post. Besides the obvious steps of copying the BlogEngine.NET web site to an IIS 7 application root using FTP there are six more little details to consider:

Installing and configuring BlogEngine.NET on GoDaddy shared hosting

  1. Create a folder and make it an IIS application root. This folder will contain the BlogEngine.NET web site files.
  2. Give Read And Write permissions to the App_Data folder.
  3. Configure the IIS pipeline mode on the root directory and set it to Classic.
  4. Make sure that the .NET Framework version is at least 2.0.
  5. Configure the domain to web application root mapping in the GoDaddy hosting control panel.
  6. Verify that your DNS and Domain entries are correct and not on hold because of missing contact information. This could happen after a domain transfer to GoDaddy.

These steps will get your BlogEngine.NET installation working in at least 94% of all cases.
