| Installing SigmaPro
If you are using a version of DotNetNuke older than
5.2.1 then you will need to install the OnyakTech Library. Otherwise
you may skip the install of the OnyakTech Library since these components are
now installed with new versions of DNN. The "OnyakTech Plug-In Manager" module is another required module install for SigmaPro. The Plug-In Manager gives you the ability to install/uninstall plug-ins into SigmaPro and must be installed even if you are not using any external plug-ins for SigmaPro. Using the Module Definitions page in the Host menu of DotNetNuke, install the core SigmaPro module, OnyakTech Library
(if using old versions of DNN) module and the Plug-In Manager. All other modules are optional and you may install the modules in any order. If you are upgrading, install the new releases over your existing installation. The steps to install SigmaPro are below: - Make a backup of your DNN installation and database.
- (Optional) Verify your web.config (see note below) for potential timeout issue
- Log in as host on your DNN installation
- Go to ‘Module Definitions’ under the host menu
- Select ‘Install New Module’ from the module list’s menu
- Browse to and select the SigmaPro Draconis.zip and click upload.
- Wait for all processing to finish.
- The web page you’re looking at should show you an installation report. Scroll down this report to check if there are any red text blocks signifying there were errors during install. If there were "time-out" errors, read the information below and try the install again. If you continue to have problems with the install, contact Support from www.OnyakTech.com
- Repeat the install process for the OnyakTech Library and the Plug-In Manager modules. All other modules are optional.
-- Skip the information below if you are using
DotNetNuke 5.x or newer. --
Request Time-Outs and Large File Uploads If you get "Request Time-Out" errors during the installation, modify your web.config as shown below. (This is not very common and if you need additional help with this, please contact OnyakTech Support from www.OnyakTech.com.) You will want to increase the executionTimeout attribute. If the file you are uploading is over 4MB, you will want to increase the maxRequestLength attribute as well. Most OnyakTech installs are below 4MB. maxRequestLength Specifies the limit for the input stream buffering threshold, in KB. The default value is 4096 (4 MB). executionTimeout Specifies the maximum number of seconds that a request is allowed to execute before being automatically shut down by ASP.NET. The default in .NET Framework 2.0 is 110 seconds. In the .NET Framework 1.0 and 1.1, the default is 90 seconds. |
