This is the first posts for my newly create blog which is based on Windows Azure Virtual machine. It is very awesome. I can easily RDP to VM and control everything.
I choose the BlogEngine.NET as my blog application. I have these reasons:
- It is based on .NET. I am a .NET programmer. however I work on the System Center on most of my working time
- It has many widgets and themed. However, after a quick search. I haven't find the good theme I am looking for. I am wonder to find a theme which have the 1280 full width size and there column.
- I can do my own customization.
Now, get start, In BlogEngine wiki, there is quick setting steps. But I think it is a little out of date.
because of my blog is based on the VM with Windows server 2012, So the IIS version is IIS8. Here is the steps.
- Download the BlogEnginee.NET web zip package
- unzip
- Add application in IIS
- add IIS_IUSRS to the folder security. refer this page.
- Install the WCF service HTTP-Activation. refer this stackoverflow page. In this steps, if you search the IIS error page info, many solution are based on the IIS7 which is quite different from IIS 8 on WS2012. On IIS7, you can easily to run the command "aspnet_regiis.exe -iru" to fix this issue.
- Then, the everything will be fine. You can browse the page now.
- Wow
