Create a New Sitefinity Database

Sitefinity requires the creation of SQL database to be used with a new Sitefinity site. Follow these steps to create the new database.

1. Open Microsoft SQL Server Management Studio 2008 and connect to the SQL Server that hosts Aptify.
2. Expand the SQL Server in the Object Explorer and select New Database from the Databases context menu.  
   
   
    
3. Enter the name ebusiness for the new Sitefinity database in the Database Name field and click OK to create the new database.

• • Sitefinity 4 embeds an Application Name in many of its tables and assumes a specific path for links on some of the page (for example, it assumes that images are in a particular folder). Therefore, when installing the Sitefinity 4.4 sample site, customers should name their site ebusiness and install it to localhost/ebusiness for best results and to ensure that the sample site loads properly.

    Note that you may need to provide elevated permissions to the web site folder in order for the Sitefinity site to run properly. Refer to the Sitefinity installation documentation for details.
     
16. Open an Internet browser. Go the following URL: http://localhost/ebusiness/Sitefinity.
17. Select Microsoft SQL Server.

20. Specify an account with the appropriate administrative database permissions (as required by Sitefinity – refer to the Sitefinity documentation for more information) in the Username field.
    • Note that when setting up the database connection for Sitefinity, Aptify recommends that you use an Integrated security connection, if possible. If you decide to use an untrusted SQL Server user account, note that Sitefinity will store the user's password in plain text within the web.config file. So, in this case, you should use an account other than sa that has limited access to the SQL Server.
       
21. If not using Windows Authentication, enter the password of the administrator account in the Password field.
22. Enter the name for the Sitefinity database to create (Aptify recommends using ebusiness) in the Database field.
    
    
    
    
23. Click Continue.
    • Clicking Continue may produce a server error page stating tha the "Role feature is not enabled." However, refreshing the page should correct the issue.
       
24. Complete the fields on the Registration page to set up the first user. For the e-Business sample site, enter admin as the Username and Admin11 as the Password. When finished, select I'm done.

• • This is the username and password that will be used to administer the ICE starter site in Sitefinity. This information can be changed (or additional administrators added) at a later date as needed after you complete the installation of the e-Business sample site. See the Sitefinity User Guide for more information.
