Screencast: Installing Umbraco
Rather than making a long post with a lot of images, I decided to do something new for this post: a nice little 6 minute screencast!
It's just a quick run through of how I create a new Umbraco installs on my dev machines. It's easy!
I noticed after the recording that I didn't change the path for the database files. During the creation of the new database, you can easily change the path of where the database files are stored here (buttons marked yellow):
I tend to mumble a little, I'll work on that for future screencasts (also, I didn't shave, sorry). ;-)
Hopefully this will help some people setting up their Umbraco install manually.
Nice video Sebastiaan,
I am sure there will be a lot of new people out there who will find this useful, I know I would have done when I first started out with Umbraco :)
What software did you use to make your screencast?
Cheers,
Chris
Thanks Chris.
I used ScreenToaster. It's a bit wonky and I had to do a retake because the sound stopped recording halfway through. But it's nice and free and doesn't require any software installed.
I also like the picture in picture effect, seeing someone's talking adds a lot to a screencast IMO.
Awesome Sebastiaan, I was thinking about doing the same thing :) Great minds think a like! (Or is it fools never differ .. lol) - Anyway this will be great for people starting out :) Top job
Nice! I've seen a lot of people asking "where to get started". This will be a bookmark to send them to!
Best,
Nik
thanks for this, only picked umbraco up today and now I am started thanks to you!
After looking at this screencast I can see why people use Wordpress.
Also my volume is up 100% and I still can't make out a single work you're mumbling, or read anything on that little video.
Nice video. I've followed your process and it works fine for my installation, but with one issue. The images are apparently assigned incorrect paths throughout the installation wizard and on the umbraco backend once installed.
Any thoughts on how to resolve that?
I am running iis7 sql server express on windows7.
Volume is low, can't hear well. Can you please raise the volume.
Nope, can't change it any more, sorry. Use headphones.
