If you want to deploy Kentico CMS directly to the live server (or generally to a remote server), you need to follow these steps:
| • | Install Kentico CMS on your local machine if you haven't done so yet. |
| • | Run Kentico CMS Web Installer (you can find it in Start -> All Programs -> Kentico CMS). |
| • | Choose to install Kentico CMS on a remote (production or testing) server and enter the path C:\tempsite. Finish the wizard - it only copies the files to the given folder. You do not need to have Visual Studio 2005 installed. |
| • | Copy the files from your local folder C:\tempfiles to the root of the web site using FTP. If you want to use a sub-folder, you will need to create a new virtual directory as described in Creating a virtual directory. |
| • | Open web browser and navigate to your web site. You will be displayed with Database Setup Wizard. |
| • | Go through the wizard and create a new Kentico CMS database on your live server. |
| • | At the end of the Database Setup Wizard, choose either to create a new web site or import your existing Kentico CMS web site. |
