Install files in to the EPiServer instance web application

Top  Previous  Next

Copy the contents of the <EPiModuleInstallFolder>/webapp directory to the EPiServer web application directory. For a EPiServer project in a typical installation this will be in \EPiServer\Sites\<episerver_project>. Take care to add the files to the web application and not replace existing directories or your EPiServer site installation will stop working.

When developing or building the EPiServer project using Visual Studio add references to the two DLLs (serviceclient.dll, NetworkedPlanet.EPiServerModule.dll) added to the into the bin folder of the site.

Those familiar with the traditional layout of ASP.NET applications may be curious about the inclusion of an aspnet_client directory beneath the EPiServer web application directory. This directory contains client-side files which may be placed in the IIS installation's aspnet_client directory. However, by default we do not place them there because this makes debugging the scripts much harder than it would otherwise be in Visual Studio (because of browser caching and lack of inclusion in the Visual Studio project of these files).
