List of items to check after executing the Gummy Bear Install program
Meet the Administration Area
The first step you should probably take is login as "admin" (password "password") and become familiar with the administration area. Sueetie Administration is accessible through the "Admin" menu link, visible when logged in as "admin."
Set Read-Write folder permissions
Certain site folders require read-write permissions. For play purposes, set IIS Identity permissions to full read-write. For live sites, here are the folders you need to give Read-Write permissions to:
- /images
- /blog/app_data
- /files
- /forum/uploads
- /media/gs/mediaobjects
- /wiki/public
- /util/index
- /util/marketplace/downloads
Enable Addon Pack Modules in Web.Config
The Sueetie Addon Pack gives you protection from malicious attacks from around the globe. To enable blocking and filtering and the url WWW handler, uncomment the HttpModules in the <system.webServer /> of your /web.config. If using Windows 2003, those entries located in <system.web />
<--
<add name="BlockedAgentModule" type="Sueetie.AddonPack.AgentBlocker.BlockedAgentModule, Sueetie.AddonPack"/>
<add name="BlockedIPModule" type="Sueetie.AddonPack.IpBlocker.BlockedIPModule, Sueetie.AddonPack"/>
<add name="SueetieWwwRewrite" type="Sueetie.Core.HttpModules.WwwRewrite, Sueetie.Core" />
-->
<add name="SueetieUrlRewrite" type="Sueetie.Core.HttpModules.UrlRewrite, Sueetie.Core"/>
Configure WCF Services
Certain Sueetie functions use Windows Communication Foundation Services (WCF.) WCF is configured in the <system.serviceModel> area of the root web.config (at bottom of file.) Replace any appearances of "'http://sueetie"' with your site domain.
If using Windows 7, be sure Windows Communication Foundation HTTP Activation is enabled. (Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Microsoft .NET Framework 3.5.) If you're using a shared host environment, be sure your host
supports WCF.Sueetie.config
The /sueetie.config file contains several application settings. Look through sueetie.config for any items you wish to change, like avatar thumbnail size.
Update Email Settings
Each application's administration area contains an Email Settings area. Walk through each of them and confirm they are correct and working. Also update the Email Settings in Sueetie Administration, your
web.config and in
forum/mail.config. Note to Atomo users: email of core Sueetie Framework functions is NOT enabled to prevent messaging during development when it is not intended. You can enable email by changing "SendEmails" to "true" in the /sueetie.config Core properties area.Disable Sueetie Setup
To prevent anyone from re-installing Sueetie over your live data, you'll want to set ENABLE_SETUP = false in
/install/default.aspx, or simply delete /install/default.aspx. Also delete
/forum/install/sueetie.aspx.Change Admin, Testguy and Anonymous passwords¶
Change the Admin, Testguy and Anonymous user passwords in Sueetie Administration.
Configure the site menu
Site Header and Footer Menus are located in /themes/lollipop/menus. Additional information on Sueetie Menus is
located here.Create a Welcome Message
You will want to customize the site Welcome Message when new users join your community. First impressions are important, so load the /members/welcome.aspx page in your browser as an Administrator and create a welcome message appropriate for your community. If no message is created the default "Thank you for becoming a member of our Community!" will be displayed.
Customize Email Templates
You'll find Password Update and Change Password HTML templates in \util\email. Take a minute to customize them to include links and info specific to your community.
