I’ve been asked to create a website installation checklist for an ASP.NET website. I have included sections that explain how to setup the following:
- Installing ASP.NET Session State
- IIS Configuration
- Running the website installer
What other sections / aspects to consider should generally be included in a checklist for setting up an ASP.NET website?
This all vary’s on your intended audience but here’s a few ideas.
Prerequisites like:
SQL Related config section if applicable.
App pool configuration
Security configuration: app pool identity, folder permissions on upload etc, impersonation.
Web.config: If you have any special AppSettings that need configuring with install.
EDIT And this is not really part of a checklist but in an install document including a Troubleshooting section would be a great nice to have
