  6. As of BlogEngine.NET 2.0, BlogEngine.NET is no longer supporting VistaDB.  

    7. 

  7. 

    8. 

  8. The files in this VistaDB setup folder are for BlogEngine.NET version 1.6.  You may 

    9. 

  9. continue to use VistaDB for future versions of BlogEngine.NET by updating your VistaDB 

    10. 

  10. database to match the latest BlogEngine.NET database schema.  The other database folders 

    11. 

  11. (e.g. SQLServer, MySQL) contain upgrade scripts for upgrading from BlogEngine.NET 1.6 to 

    12. 

  12. newer versions.  These upgrade scripts will let you know what changes you need to make in 

    13. 

  13. your own VistaDB database to keep it current with the latest version of BlogEngine.NET.

  20. Running BlogEngine.NET 1.6 using VistaDB:

    21. 

  21. 

    22. 

  22. If you wish to use VistaDB (or VistaDB Express) to store all your blog data, this is 

    23. 

  23. where you want to be.  Included in this folder are all the scripts that 

    24. 

  24. you can use to get you started with your blog.  In addition, you will find a sample

    25. 

  25. web.config file with the needed changes to use VistaDB and an upgrade script for 

    26. 

  26. current VistaDB users who wish to upgrade from 1.5.

    27. 

  27. 

    28. 

  28. Since the last version of BlogEngine.NET, VistaDB Express is no longer freely available.

    29. 

  29. If you own a version of VistaDB or have VistaDB Express available, you are fine and will

    30. 

  30. have an easy setup. If you are already using VistaDB, but no longer have it installed 

    31. 

  31. and no longer have the installer, you can buy a VistaDB license or convert your data to 

    32. 

  32. a different free option using the Provider Migration tool. 

    33.

    34. 

  34. 

    35. 

  35. Instructions for new setup:

    36. 

  36. 

    37. 

  37. 1. You will need VistaDB or VistaDB Express installed locally.  

    38. 

  38. 2. Find VistaDB.NET20.dll (3.5 Express) or VistaDB4.dll (4.0) on your PC and copy it to your blog's Bin folder. 

    39. 

  39. 3. Copy BlogEngine database file to your blog's App_Data folder. Use the vdb3 extension if you are using 3.5 

    40. 

  40. or use the vbd4 extension if you are ising version 4.

    41. 

  41. 4. Rename VistaDBWeb.Config to Web.config and copy it to your blog folder.  (This will

    42. 

  42. overwrite your existing web.config file.  If this is not a new installation, make sure 

    43. 

  43. you have a backup).  VistaDBWeb.Config is for a .NET 3.5 application pool.  If you will

    44. 

  44. run BlogEngine.NET in a .NET 4.0 application pool, use VistaDB.NET_4.0_Web.Config instead.

    45. 

  45. 5. Edit your web.config.  Update the connection string and assemblies as needed to 

    46. 

  46. match your file and version information. The web.config is setup for VistaDB Express 3.5 users.

    47. 

  47. 6. If you are using a non-express version, you will need a license file. Please read this post which covers 

    48. 

  48. creating a license file to get you going.

    53. 

  53. 8. Login with the username admin and password admin.  Change the password.

    56. 

  56. Upgrading from 1.5

    57. 

  57. 

    58. 

  58. 1. You will need VistaDB or VistaDB Express installed locally.  

    59. 

  59. 2. Open your BlogEngine database in Data Builder and execute the upgrade script against it.  (You will 

    60. 

  60. likely need to copy your BlogEngine.vdb3(or vbd4) file from your web server, perform the update, and 

    61. 

  61. copy it back out depending on your setup.

    62. 

  62. 3. The web.config file has changed from 1.5 to 1.6.  It will likely be easiest to start

    63. 

  63. with the sample web.config file and then make any changes necessary for version numbers, etc.

    64.

  72. Notice:

    73. 

  73. 

    74. 

  74. While BlogEngine.NET is open source and VistaDB Express is free to use, there are a few restrictions.  

    75. 

  75. VistaDB Express is only free to use for non commercial uses.  If you are commercial, you will need to 

    76. 

  76. purchase a license to use it.  In addition, the VistaDB Express license requires that you place a link 

    77. 

  77. back to them in your product.  A link back the vistadb.net in your page footer or side bar would show 

    78. 

  78. your appreciation.
