I am looking for a cms system for .net but did not have any idea which cms to try out. Base on the discussion here I will give unbraco a try. Thanks guys for this great information on unbraco.

And that's the whole problem right there, the WebPI works fine for people who've never attempted to do anything with IIS before, but for people coming from different backgrounds who are just trying out Umbraco for the first time, it probably will not be very convenient as they tend to have things running on IIS already. That being said.. Support for virtual directories is supposed to be in v4.5 (but I haven't tested it!). So once that version is released on the WebPI, it might just work fine the way you did it. :-) Yes, if you had left the field blank, it would just have taken over the default website that was already there.

What should have done differently if I enter MyEmbracoApp so that it would have worked? Thanks for the Feedback! Sebastiaan,

You might as well do away with the "magic" webpi and understand what it's doing for you. Peter: in "Step 1 of 2" you've entered "UmbracoApp" as a virtual directory, that is why you have to go back and create a whole new site in IIS after the WebPI is done. @Frederik Well, you’d still have to go through this whole procedure detailed above.

There's only one little line at the end of the description that gives you a hint at this. Besides, I (like most developers) need to run multiple Umbraco installs on my machine, so the WebPI will not do me much good there the second time. I install Umbraco in 5 minutes by hand, look at a screencast I've done here, it really is pretty simple: http://www.cultiv.nl/blog/2010/2/1/screencast-installing-umbraco Ps. In fact, I've recently created a batch file that does most of this for me, it's not quite ready for release yet, but I hope to do something about that soon.

When it comes to the Wiki package on our.umbraco.org, I know that Per Ploug Hansen (works for Umbraco HQ) has said that he'll make the package available (http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/extending-umbraco/3128-Umbraco-Wiki). I would just ask him or another member from the HQ team about its status. I'm sure you'll be able to get the code directly. Good luck! Frederik Hi Peter,

I personally have never experienced any issues setting up an umbraco install. I sure hope you enjoy Umbraco, it's the best CMS I have ever used.
