Extract the downloaded package

Extract the individual zipped files and proceed to install SpeedBlog via the DNN Module/Package installer. Copy the files from the “PDB-Files” folder to your DNN’s bin directory manually.

What if SpeedBlog does not install on a DNN site via the Install Module interface.

Please note the minimum requirements for installation of SpeedBlog

1. SQL Server 2000 or more; SQL Server Express editions are fine.

2. .NET Framework 3.5 or higher

3. AJAX.NET version 2 or higher (The SpeedBlog package can install this).

4. DNN v5.1 or higher

5. Your portal installation must be a parent installation. In short, your URLs must look like “http://yoursitename.com” or “http://localhost”.

 

Examples of portals where SpeedBlog will not work “http://localhost/development”.

SpeedBlog needs the /DesktopModules folder to be at the root install. We’ve heard of instances where SpeedBlog did work for some but the only supported installation mode is for root/parent portals.

How do I report errors after SpeedBlog Debug mode installation is complete?

SpeedBlog will log detailed error messages, exception and normal process information in SpeedBlog_Messages table. Just  take a sample of a few lines and send it over to us. Be aware however, that the messages table mostly contains informational messages and just because there is something logged in there, it doesn’t mean everything over there is due to an error. Do not panic! SpeedBlog makes it very easy for us to identify where the problem is. We’d also appreciate if you could send us a description of how your site environment is setup. Windows OS/SQL server version/DNN version/.NET framework version/etc is a good place to start!
