To install the site, click Ctrl-F5 (ie. hold the Ctrl key down while clicking on the F5 function key). The application may take a few minutes to build if this is your first installation. Your default web browser will launch and will show you the installation Progress.

Scroll to the bottom of the installation text in the browser window and select "Click Here To Access Your Portal". The default DotNetNuke application will be displayed.


You are now up and running. Login as the Administrator to add pages and content to your web site.

So lets examine the DotNetNuke 4.0 ( ASP.NET 2.0 ) benefits:

- reduction in the number of developer installation steps
- works with Visual Web Developer ( the lowest cost developer tool ) for a highly productive development experience
- leverages SQL Server 2005 Express ( the lowest cost database engine ) for a totally local development experience

hi shaalini
How to create a basic new page in DNN

The simplest way to add a new page to your website is to use the Add button in the Page Functions area of the Control Panel (at the top of the page).

1. Click the Add button on the Control Panel. The next page you see will allow you to specify Settings for the new Page you are about to create.

2. Put your cursor in the Page Name field and type a name for your Page. This will be what visitors see in your websites Menu.

Your website Menu before adding the page
Your website Menu after adding the page
3. Put your cursor in the Page Title field and type a title for your Page. This will be what visitors see in the titlebar of their web browser when they visit your new Page.

4. Select who can look at your Page and who can change its settings. Administrators (like you) can always see your page and make changes to its Settings. But you can choose who else can see it or change it. If your new page will have private information on it, you may want only visitors who have logged in to your website to be able to see it. Check the boxes for who should be able View (see) or Edit (change settings) for your new page. (An “Unauthenticated User” is a website visitor that has not logged in).
5. Select where on the Menu your Page should be listed. By default, your new page will appear on the menu just like the “Home” page. If you would like for it to appear in a dropdown menu, you can select the page you would like for it to appear beneath.


6. When you have finished with these steps, scroll to the bottom of the page and click Update to save your changes!

hi,
Is it possible to Creating Secure DotNetNuke ASP.NET AJAX Web Services

When implementing ASP.NET AJAX in your DotNetNuke module, you will usually discover that calling web services from your client-side code is an efficient method for accessing data because the web services can also be used by other programs, allowing you to reuse the code.

The problem with this strategy is that the web services need to be secured and you do not want to transmit unencrypted passwords over the network. Simply encrypting the passwords is not enough because the username / encrypted password combination can be captured with a packet sniffer or retrieved from the web browser cache and used to access the web service.
The Solution

When you place an instance of the module on a page in your DotNetNuke site, you will see the IWeb main screen that provides links to the sample web services client as well as a link to the IWeb configuration page.

Clicking Edit IWeb Configuration will take you to the IWeb configuration screen.
