In this post\u00a0we will see how\u00a0to start with Umbraco CMS website development with ASP.NET MVC.<\/p>\n

In previous Introduction post here<\/a>\u00a0you can read the\u00a0brief roadmap about\u00a0posts on Umbraco MVC.<\/p>\n

Step 1 – Download Latest Umbraco release<\/h2>\n

Download fresh installation of Umbraco CMS from Official Umbraco Site<\/a>. For this post Umbraco version 7.1.1<\/a> is used and use full source code release package highlighted in bold\u00a0“UmbracoCms.7.1.1.zip” in screen below.<\/p>\n

\"Download<\/a><\/p>\n

Step 2 – Extract the package<\/h2>\n

After downloading release package in ‘.zip’ format extract the package to temporary location.<\/p>\n

\"Extract<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Step 3 – Setup the website in IIS<\/h2>\n

After extracting the release package,\u00a0the next step is to copy the extracted content to IIS\u00a0web root directory by creating new folder for the Umbraco MVC website or configure the extracted folder in IIS directly in next steps.<\/p>\n

The extracted content will look something as shown below screenshot<\/p>\n

\"Copy<\/a><\/p>\n

Now Add a new Website in IIS.\u00a0To open IIS manager you may use the cmd command ‘inetmgr.exe’.<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the Add Website configuration dialog will show up. Configure the Website as below with local domain binding ‘umbracomvc’ on port ’80’<\/p>\n

\"Add<\/a><\/p>\n

Now the IIS Website is configured.<\/p>\n

Step 4 – Create Local-only domain binding<\/h2>\n

We have configured the IIS Website with local binding definition in above steps but to correctly resolve and browse host name ‘http:\/\/umbracomvc\/’ we need to configure the hosts entry in the local system with local IP address.\u00a0Hosts file configuration and file path is shown in screenshot below.<\/p>\n

\"Edit<\/a><\/p>\n

Note: Open the notepad or notepad++ in Administrator mode. Additionally after this configuration use the cmd command ‘ipconfig \/flushdns’<\/p>\n

Step 5 – Start Umbraco\u00a0Installation<\/h2>\n

After above steps browse the website in browser at URL ‘http:\/\/umbracomvc\/’ (refer ‘Host Name’\u00a0configured in IIS Website Configuration Dialog for the URL if changed\u00a0in your case). When browsing for first time Umbraco will automatically initiate the Installation wizard and ask for following – Configure the licence (if any), Database connection, User credentials for Umbraco Admin, Starter Kit theme.<\/p>\n

Few excerpts from the installation wizard are\u00a0shown below:<\/p>\n

1. Installation Welcome screen<\/p>\n

\"Open<\/a><\/p>\n

2. Select ‘No thanks, do not install a Starter Kit’ in Starter Kit Selection Step<\/p>\n

\"Select<\/a><\/p>\n

3. Final step screen<\/p>\n

\"Umbraco<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Verify\u00a0the Umbraco Admin panel access at http:\/\/UmbracoMvc\/Umbraco\/ with configured user credentials in Installation wizard<\/p>\n

\"Umbraco<\/a><\/p>\n

Note:\u00a0Above Installation wizard screenshot were captured using Umbraco CMS version 7.0.4 but later upgraded to Umbraco CMS version 7.1.1<\/p>\n
