In the previous video, we walked you through how to configure your local computer to be able to install DNN (or any ASP.NET application).  Now, we walk you through the steps to manually install DNN on any properly configured Windows computer.  

Next, How to Upgrade DNN:  https://youtu.be/bSgJ07AAT4s

We wish you could just decide to install DNN on your computer and then to it instantly, but that is not possible for any ASP.NET website. In this tutorial video, we walk you through how to get your computer ready to install DNN. In this video, you'll see how to install the .NET Framework, IIS, and SQL Server. You'll also see and hear useful tips along the way to make sure you're productive. These steps are not unique to DNN and can be followed to install any ASP.NET-based website application.

Upgrading DNN is far more simple than some people make it out to be.  As long as you only install trusted extensions and only ones that you need, upgrades can literally be as easy as you see in this video.

Using Matomo for analytics? You can add that to your DNN in minutes.

Aderson Oliviera (DNNHero) has brought us many tips over the years. 

When you need to add new features to your DNN website, you usually can install them using a free or commercial extension.  This video shows you how easy it is to install a new extension into your DNN website.

It's common to need to either clear the cache or restart the application in DNN to help you troubleshoot or even fix problems.  This is especially true in development environments and with some third-party or custom modules.

This video quickly walks you through how to edit the content on your DNN-based website.

DNN makes it super-easy to delete content from a page by allowing you to delete a module. This video walks you through the easy steps you take to do just that.

By default, DNN will add a tiny bit more HTML to your webpage.  This is in the form of HTML comments and keywords.  On one hand, this feature helps to grow the DNN ecosystem and community.  If you're a business, you may want to hide this HTML.  It will lessen the HTML in the web page a tiny bit, but it will also be one of the steps you'll want to follow to make it that much more difficult for competition and bad actors on the internet to determine what platform is running your website.

DNN comes with a setting that's called AutoUpgrade. This setting makes it easier to automatically upgrade a DNN website, but it also makes it easier for ANYONE to upgrade your website.  So we probably want to turn this off for all production websites.  This video shows you how to do that.

In this video, we show you how to create superusers (also known as a "host" user) in both DNN 9 and earlier versions of DNN.

It may be necessary to empty the recycle bin on your website as often as once a week, depending on how active your website is.  Doing so will clear out all deleted pages, modules, and user accounts from the website.  Doing this regularly will ensure that you not only have a clean website, but it could help with performance on some websites.
 

There are many events occurring in DNN. Sometimes, it's useful to either subscribe to or unsubscribe from an event. Doing this allows you to know more or less about various things occurring on your website.

DNN allows you to present the website to visitors in multiple languages. This video shows you how to begin doing that, by installing and enabling a new language pack.

DNN supports multilingual websites, but the language engine also powers numerous pieces of static content including e-mail templates, labels, buttons, and much more.  This video shows you how to use the language editor to change this content.
 

DNN includes a configuration manager feature that allows a superuser to change various configuration files that ordinarily are only edited by directly logging into your web server.
 

There is a SQL console feature in DNN that allows you to run nearly any SQL query that you'd like.  This empowers you to be able to do things directly against the database.  Be warned though... You really should be a DBA or have database administrator-level experience before using this feature.  Any updates you make may be non-reversible.  
 

DNN keeps a comprehensive log of events that occur on your DNN website. This video walks you through where to find and investigate those logs.  This feature was formerly known as the event log and event viewer in previous versions of DNN.
 

DNN have a built-in scheduler feature that allows for tasks to be scheduled for repeated execution.  DNN and developers alike use this feature to do things like send scheduled e-mails, clean data, and more.  This video shows you how to add your own scheduled task.
 

DNN allows you to manage what kind of files you allow to be uploaded and used on the website. This video shows you how to do that.

This video helps you understand a few of the various ways an extension might be downloaded for DNN, including using GitHub.
 

There is a built-in configuration option that's often enabled on your publicly available website, usually by accident.  You'll want to turn this setting off as soon as possible.  Leaving it enabled will result in an undesirable user experience for your visitors and it will provide critical details to potential hackers.
 

DNN allows you to have a specific or custom favicon for each of the websites on your DNN instance. This is important since each instance of DNN could potentially have hundreds or even thousands of websites.  This video shows you how to do this.
 

This video helps you learn how to change the logo used on your DNN-based website.
