Commerce for Umbraco: Sample Site and Starter Kit

In preparation for Umbraco CodeGarden 11 this coming week, ProWorks has created a Commerce for Umbraco Sample Website and Starter Kit that you can download and try out for yourself!  This site is similar to the starter site the ProWorks uses to create e-commerce sites.

Screen Shots:

Files:

Commerce4Umbraco_ExampleSite.zip - Web Files

Commerce4Umbraco_ExampleSite_DB.bak- Database

Commerce4Umbraco_BuildScripts.zip - SQL Scripts to build the database without a backup

Setup:

Database:

• Restore the database backup to a SQL Server instance. (Or create a new database and run the SQL Build Scripts)
• Create a SQL Server user and map it to the new database.  Write down the credentials as it will be entered into the web.config.

Website:

• Unzip the web files to a new directory.
• Edit the web.config and modify all connection strings and umbraco connection info to point to the database and user credentials you just created.
• Setup the new site in IIS.  Make sure its setup to use .Net 4.0.
• Setup the file permissions on disk to allow the new website to modify files on the disk.

Commerce:

• Edit web.config and replace all "commerce4umbraco47.local" with the host binding you used when creating the new website in IIS.
• Edit the \config\commerce\commerce4umbraco47.local.config file and replace all occurrences of "commerce4umbraco47.local" with the host binding you used when creating the new website in IIS.
• Rename the "commerce4umbraco47.local.config" file in the \config\commerce directory to coincide with the host binding you used when creating the new website in IIS.
• Open the site in your local browser!
