Introduction

Cuyahoga is an open source .NET web site framework. It provides content management capabilities and has a modular approach. Currently it works with MS .NET 2.0 with SQL Server, PostgreSQL or MySQL as database backend. Also, from version 1.5.2, Mono is fully supported again.

The main goal of the project is to show .NET developers that there is a different way of building web applications than the well known sample applications. Although the project is targeted primarily at .NET developers, anybody interested can download the source and start playing.

Web based installer in SVN

The work on the installers is finished and the code is in SVN. It would be nice if people give it a try and see if it works in their environment (especially Mono/MySQL).

To install a fresh Cuyahoga from SVN, take the following steps:

  • Checkout the latest sources from the Subversion (SVN) repository @ http://tijnthuus.demon.nl/svn/repos/cuyahoga/trunk. You'll need an SVN client for this like TortoiseSVN if you're on Windows.
  • Build the sources with VS.NET or with NAnt.
  • Create an empty database on you preferred RDBMS.
  • Configure the database connection in the web.config (nhibernate section) and point it to your newly created database.
  • Run!
To see the module installer in action, go to 'modules' in the site administration. There you can install the Downloads module (the others are installed with the core).

For the very brave of us: if you're running 0.8.2 you can deploy the files from the Web directory to your 0.8.2 installation after building and see what happens :).
