Finishing install and setup umbraco.

Congratulations!

You are now ready to start creating an umbraco website!

As you have experienced, installing all the pre-requisite software (.NET 2.0, IIS, SQL Server, and various supporting tools) can be a time-consuming task. In a production environment, your IT staff or ISP would have performed nearly all these steps for you. From now on everything you need to do with umbraco can be done entirely through the web interface.

Please note that if you now browse to http://localhost, you will see the following page because the umbraco web site does not yet have any content.

Log in to the umbraco interface

1. Using Internet Explorer (6.0 or higher), navigate to http://localhost or http://localhost/umbraco

2. The username is umbraco (for umbraco versions before and including v3 RC1)
or admin (for later versions of umbraco).
3. The password is that which you entered when you set up umbraco from your web browser, above.
4. Once you have logged in, you will see the full umbraco interface.

Import an umbraco package

You may wish to follow the links at http://packages.umbraco.org/packages/website-packages to install a sample site using the WebsiteWizard or Blog package (more packages are being developed).

That’s all folks.
