Installing DNN on a Ubuntu Server

Really? No, I am joking, but it's not April Fools Day. So what? In this Blog article I am going to explain how to install SQL Server 2019 on Ubuntu, and then using it with DNN. Sometimes you are in need to install SQL Server and IIS (with DNN) on different machines, so why pay a license for the Operating System when you need a database server?
Since the release of SQL Server 2017, Microsoft added support for different Linux systems (Red Hat Enterprise Linux, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Ubuntu and Docker Engine) to SQL Server. Some days ago, I said: why not trying this? And after some trial and error, I finally got it to run. So here's what I did.

Simple 10-Step Testing for DNN Platform Release Candidates

A welcome change of recent is the introduction of the Release Candidate (RC) into the new release cycle for DNN Platform. Having early access to an upcoming RC gives everyone valuable insight into what is coming in the official release. Not only do we get a chance to learn and prepare for use of the new version within our own test environments and those of our clients, but we also have a chance to participate in community-wide testing and provide valuable feedback. This is an area in which the Technology Ecosystem Advisory Group could really use your help. The more people that touch each Release Candidate, the greater the stability and quality of the platform.
