I am trying to install Sitecore 8. I got an error saying "SQL Server Version Not supported - SQLServer (10.50.1600.1)" I tried to find installation document to know database requirements. I could not find anywhere, may be i am looking in wrong place.
doc.sitecore.net
kb.sitecore.net
Could some one point me out in right direction.
Found it finally,
For someone like me searching the whole internet here is the link
Sitecore 8 installation Guide
Checkout How To Install and Configure Sitecore for the complete guide on installing latest version of sitecore.
Sitecore 8.1 has a specific requirement for the operating system, IIS web server, .Net framework and the database server. Follow the detail sitecore guide for installing the sitecore properly.
IIS Requirements for Sitecore 8.1
IIS 8.5
IIS 8.0
IIS 7.5
IIS 7.0
.NET Framework and Database Requirements for Sitecore
To install Sitecore 8.1 you would need minimum version of .net framework 4.5 and above. Sitecore requires miminum MS Sql server 2008 R2 SP1 or above editions like SQL server 2012, SQL server 2014 and MongoDB Database 2.6x
The site appears to be in beta, so the accepted answer is no longer working.
It appears that the best recommendation, as of now, is to view the general Sitecore 8 downloads page, find the version you want documentation for, and then scroll down that version's page to find the documentation.
Given how hard it is to find the Sitecore 8 page (I had to search their new beta community forums), I much prefer the old SDN site.

I wanted to publish my website from visual studio but i got "The Web server does not appear to have the FrontPage server extensions installed" error;first I tried to install frontpage but because i didn't have microsoft share point in my administrative tools list and as here said:here,I tried to install webdav 7.5 version,(I believed my iis version was 7)but it gives me error that iis version 7 needs webdav version 7.5!!!
I have googled it and tried so many links more or less(because I couldn't find some parts of them in my computer),I tried enabling webdav and ...
such as:thisand this
but none helped.so I thought maybe I am going wrong,so due to this:which is my own question,i think maybe i am using windows server 2003 and iis6,so i googled to install frontpage for iis6,from here,but I don't have such a thing "FrontPage 2002 Server Extensions" in turn windows features on or off,so what should I do?please help me to get out of this hell,should I upgrade iis6 to iis7?please help,i will be so thankful.
by the way my os is windows 7 64 bit,and I use visual studio 2010.
FrontPage server extensions (FSE) is a server side package that FrontPage and some other Microsoft applications use to upload files to web sites. FSE must be installed on the server in order for these applications to upload files. FSE has nothing to do with Microsoft desktop products directly. It is often installed on Apache systems, for example. cPanel has an option to install it, if you are using that to manage your server.
IIS should come with FSE already installed, AFAIK. That would certainly make sense, with it being a Microsoft product.
I am more of a DNN end user and not a DNN developer.
When I bought my DNN hosting package from iHostASP.Net about 2 years ago, version 6.0 was the current version for the community edition and iHostASP.net set it up for me. I did not make much use of the website until now and I am planning to relaunch my website.
I see that 7.00.05 is the latest community and if I got to the DNN website from the upgrade prompt from my DNN instance, I am taken to http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Downloads.aspx
from where all I can do is download a zip file.
How do I have this upgrade package installed? What I have on iHostASP.net is a website setup, so I don't have full access to the server itself. All I can access is the Helm Control panel for my website.
I have host access to my website, but can't see how I can have the zip file uploaded or installed in my DNN instance.
Any pointers would be appreciated. Does anyone know of any breaking changes in this upgrade from 6.0.0 to 7.0.05? I am not using any outside module other than what is supplied out of the box in a default DNN community edition.
Thank in advance.
Suggested upgrade path recommends upgrading first to the latest DNN 6, and then to the latest DNN 7. At the moment, this means first upgrading to 06.02.07, and then to 07.00.05.
This is just a recommendation, though. If you get upgrade errors, or the site doesn't work as expected, I would try again with the suggested upgrade path.
DNN system requirements have changed substantially between versions 6 and 7. Support for Windows 2003 servers has been dropped, but I doubt IHostASP.NET has used these for a while.
You likely have FTP access with IHostASP, if so, you can watch this video for how to perform an upgrade
http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Video-Library/Viewer/Video/244/View/Details/Upgrading-A-DotNetNuke-Site-Via-FTP.aspx
You should also check out the Wiki http://www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Wiki/Page/Upgrading-DotNetNuke.aspx
Be absolutely sure to back everything up first though, if you don't know how, ask your hosting provider what backup options they provide.
I have installed web matrix and It has somehow removed the existing IIS Express 8.0, that is installed by default during the VS2012RC installation. I think that is because the web Matrix is using IIS 7.5. So that it has replaced the IIS Express 8 with IIS Express 7.5.
So my tech lead told me to remove the existing IIS 7.5 that has been installed during the installation of Web Matrix, And I removed it. So I have no IIS for debugging. So once I tried to install the IIS 8 manually and it says that there is a existing version of IIS Express 8. So that I can not even install the IIS Express 8.
So I did a repair to my VS2012RC. After a lengthy process it finally gave me a report as
"IIS 8.0 Express
Package failed"
So, Now I am totally stuck with this. Can some one good at this VS stuff help me on this issue.
Another thing is, previously when I open the project and it was not loaded(It says the project is not loaded) So, then when I write click on it and do a reload it said "For debugging you have to have IIS 8.0 and ask me to download it and install ".
When I click next and then it goes to "MS web platform Installer" and direct me to the "IIS 7.5 download page" But the install button was enabled and says its installed. What should I do to overcome this issue. This is like a nightmare.
I also Tried to use "Fix it" and Its beta testing is over and I can not do a proper uninstall of the IIS 8, which says that is still existing.
Thank you.
So, what I did was using MS web platform Installer my option of IIS Express 7.5 and IIS Express 8.0 was gone due to a registry issue. But there was another IIS 8.0 which is compatible with Windows XP and Vista and upper. So I downloaded it installed. It installed in no time and then I opened the project and changed my solution configuration, single start up to my website project. And it worked. That saved me form the havoc that day.
Later I uninstalled the IIS 8.0(Xp compatible) and then did a repair again to my VS 2012 and it installed correctly that time. Then I changed the configuration as said above and done.
If you have the same kind of problem you have to check the configuration also. Since I forgot that this took even longer instead of repairing time for the VS 2012 as well as the system restore.
Will ASP.NET MVC 3 run on Windows Server 2008 R2 Core? I've done some searching and can't seem to find this information.
Thanks
I just set up a Windows Server 2008 R2 in Server Core configuration. I installed MVC3 using the standard installer:
.\AspNetMVC3Setup.exe /q /log C:\mvc3setup.htm
This installed successfully and a sample MVC3 site works just fine.
According to the Server Core Installation Option Getting Started Guide, Windows Server 2008 R2 Core supports Web Server (including a subset of ASP.NET). Based on some to the additional features you can install (optional features) it looks very limited.
The red flags that stand out for me on the optional features are:
Subset of .NET Framework 3.0 and 3.5
Subset of .NET Framework 2.0
Based on the documentation, I come to the conclusion that running MVC3 would be very difficult and not possible.
