Information on configuring and using the Sueetie Atomo Developer Package.

Atomo Setup Walkthrough¶

Setup Local IIS Web Server and Hosts File Let's start on the IIS side. To avoid http://localhost:### unpleasantness, Atomo is configured to use http://atomo as your development site name. If you want to name your site something else other than "atomo," go into the Atomo /WebApplication/WebApplication.csproj file and modify the IISUrl property where http://atomo is set.

As mentioned elsewhere, Sueetie must be configured at the site root, so we're going to create an IIS site and point it to our unzipped Atomo /source/webapplication folder.

We want to load Atomo in our browser at http://atomo so we will next update our hosts files located in C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc and add the following entry: 127.0.0.1 atomo

Here is where the property is set in our WebApplication Project Visual Studio Properties-> Build UI.
Create IIS Applications. The screenshot below is in Windows 7 Ultimate, so we're happy to report that we don't need to do Sueetie development on Windows Server.

It may not be immediately obvious, but each of the application WebApplication projects are excluded subfolders of the root WebApplication. So it is those folders that you'll be configuring as applications in IIS Manager
Open Visual Studio 2010 as Adminstrator Atomo requires Visual Studio 2010 and .NET 4.0. And since it includes a WebApplication Project you'll need to open Visual Studio as "Administrator."
Set "WebApplication" as Startup Project if not already set
Edit SQL Connection Strings. Now we're getting to the steps familiar to Gummy Bear uses. Please Note: Atomo uses "Atomo" rather than "GummyBear" in connection strings and WCF settings. Do a search-replace on AtomoDB in all solution .config files with your database name, or replace the entire connection string as needed.
Update WCF Settings. Update WCF settings in the web.config to support many of the client-side functions in Sueetie like username verification, tagging, etc.
Fire up Atomo! When you load http://atomo in a browser, the Gummy Bear Install page will automatically display. Walk through the normal Gummy Bear install and your database will be ready for action.
Walk through the Post-Installation Checklist. As with any new Sueetie Site, please walk through the post-installation checklist to make sure everything is functioning properly.
Addendum #1: Email. Email is disabled in Sueetie Framework functions in Atomo to prevent unwanted email processes during development. Set "SendEmails" to true in the /util/config/Sueetie.Config to enable.
Addendum #2: Multiple Blogs. In Sueetie v3.3 Multiple Blogs are supported in the upgrade to BlogEngine.NET 2.5, which has full Sueetie Framework integration. To move to multiple blogs, relocate your /blog application to /blogs as your first step. Remaining steps are located on the Multiple Blogs How-To.
