Setting up dasBlog is really very easy task, you will know it shortly. You can go through these generic notes provided by dasBlog (http://www.dasblog.info/SetupInstall.aspx )

Now once you have been through with the notes above, let’s go further with these steps to setup your dasBlog on Godaddy.

Upload all the files in dasblogce folder to your web server. You should keep the same structure of file and images. Any change in that may cause your web application not run properly.

[Note: Before uploading your files, make sure you have made the necessary changes the site.config file (as instructed in turorial). You need to change the <Root> value to your Blog root directory.]

You can upload the files in a new folder or in your root folder. Ex – If suppose you want to add your blog to this path (http://www.yoursite.com/blog) then you need to create a blog directory in the root and upload all contents of dasblogce in the blog directory.

After you finished uploading, open the hosting manager given by Godaddy and click on the “Directory Management”. This will brings up a new screen where you can create new directory and set the permission to the directories.

You need to set the write permission to the following directories:

To create and set permission to the directory click on the “Create Directory” Button, it will bring up the new screen given below

 

Your screen should look like this:

Click on the “Continue” button. Confirm your changes by clicking on “Add” button in the next screen.

Repeat the same steps SiteConfig and logs directory

[Note: You may also need to set the permission on content\binary directory. For this you can create a sub directory under content and set the permission as we have done above. Binary directory is used to store the images and files attached with your post.]

Once all above is done your application is ready to run online.
