Second looks at dasBlog

Downloaded the latest DasBlog beta distribution (assemblies pre-built).

It was very easy to bring up compared to Dottext due to the lack of a database configuration. Not using a database has advantages and disadvantages.

The key steps were:

Download the 1.6.4107.0 beta zip
Unzip to a new empty folder (no previous content, themes, settings added)
Use Properties->Web Sharing with alias 'dasBlog' & default permissions.
set default.aspx as the default document
add local ASPNET, IUSR_, and IWAM_ accounts to root folder with default / read permissions)
give local ASPNET, IUSR_, and IWAM_ accounts write access to content, siteconfig, and log folders.
Login with admin/admin

Edit the siteconfig\siteSecurity.config file to add user accounts.
