Basic Installation
1. Download the latest version from the download section.
2. Unzip and upload to your IIS server.
- Modify the DefaultConnection and Database in the appsettings.json file to suit your environment.
- "DefaultConnection": "Data Source=address;Initial Catalog=database;User ID=username;Password=password"
- Database: Supports both MSSQL and MYSQL
3. Run: http://youraddress/ShowPage
4. Select server information and skin, and create the site (Note: The database must be pre-created).
- By default, the program is installed with the iBoardPro skin, and if you want a different type of website later, you can change the skin and create it.
- iBoardPro: A skin that provides a basic community layout (for beginners)
- Blank: A skin that provides only the basic layout (for intermediate and advanced users)
If you want to use MYSQL, select MYSQL at the top and install it.
5. Access http://youraddress/Admin to create the site.
- UserID: The username you entered
- Password: The password you entered
6. Change the iKey (Site Management > Information Management > Modify iKey) (Important)
Click the "Modify iKey" button to generate a new key.
The iKey is an important key. It is used to encrypt or decrypt parameters during all URL, file downloads, and deletions.
For security reasons, a new iKey should be generated when installing the site for the first time.
