EPiStore 2.3 Installation Instructions

Requirements

EPiStore 2.3 requires that EPiServer CMS 5 SP1 is installed with the public template package.

Instructions

1. Run the EPiServer CMS Manager. Select the site where you want to install EPiStore and then select install module, either by right-clicking on the site and selecting Install Module or by choosing Install Module from the Action menu. Locate the EPiStore zip package on your computer.
2. After the installation has finished the manager will start the Web site and you will be prompted to login to install some basic content for EPiStore.
3. Open a file explorer and locate the InstallEPiStore.sql script in the root folder of your web site. Execute this script in your EPiServer CMS 5 database. This will add new tables and stored procedures to the database.
4. Make sure that you have a properties section with the following properties defined for your profile provider in web.config:
   <profile>
   <properties>
   <add name="Address" type="System.String" />
   <add name="Description" type="System.String" />
   <add name="Mobile" type="System.String" />
   <add name="PostalAddress" type="System.String" />
   <add name="PostalNumber" type="System.String" />
   <add name="Telephone" type="System.String" />
   </properties>
   </profile>
5. [Optional] Modify the settings in the dynamic properties for your EPiStore.
6. [Optional] Alter the sessionstate settings in web.config.
7. EPiStore is now installed and you can begin testing or building your own Web store.
