For detailed web installer instructions, please visit: http://docs.communityserver.org/default.aspx/CS.WebBasedInstaller

1. Unzip the CS.zip file
2. Creata a new virtual directory called 'CS' which points to the 'Web' folder in the above zip file.
3. Create a new SQL Server database named "CommunityServer"
4. Open the Instaler/default.aspx and change the line "bool INSTALLER_ENABLED = false;" to "bool INSTALLER_ENABLED = true;"
5. Browse to localhost/CS/installer and follow the guided steps.

To manually set up the database, see the SqlScripts folder.

Once you have finished with the installer, please DELETE the installer directory. 


Optional, but recommended:
- Grant ASP.Net write access to the root/blogs and root/photos folders. For Windows 2000 Server or XP, you must give the ASPNET account full privileges to the folders. For Win2K3 you must give the Network Service Account Full Control.

- If you try to run CS on Url other than localhost/cs (ie, the first paramater for cs_system_CreateCommunity), you must add the
new Url using: exec cs_system_AddNewUrl 'localhost/cs', 'NEW_URL'
