Kentico CMS/EMS MVC training website

This is an ASP.NET MVC 5 sample project built for the purpose of our Kentico MVC for Developers training.

It is a website of a fictional medical institution named Medio Clinic.

How to run the project

To make the project work, follow these steps:

1. Make sure your computer meets the system requirements outlined in the documentation.
2. Clone the repo (git clone https://github.com/Kentico/training-kentico-k12).
3. Extract a database backup file out of /Db/MedioClinic.zip.
4. Start your SQL Server management studio and restore the extracted MedioClinic.bak file.
5. Register both the administration interface and the Medio Clinic website in IIS.
   • If you register the administration interface as an application that sits under Default Web Site and has a Kentico12_Admin alias, then you won't have to do any adjustments in Visual Studio.
   • The same applies to the Medio Clinic project: If you register it under Default Web Site as Kentico12_MedioClinic, then you should be ready to compile and run.
6. Open Visual Studio with elevated credentials, open the WebApp.sln solution and build it (Ctrl+Shift+B).
7. Open the web.config file and adjust the connection string to your SQL Server instance (if your database instance runs on a different machine).
8. Close the solution.
9. Open the MedioClinic.sln solution.
   • If you haven't opened Visual Studio with elevated credentials, then you may encounter an error message saying Visual Studio doesn't have access to your local IIS.
   • If you haven't registed the project under Default Web Site as Kentico12_Admin, then you might want to adjust debugging settings through the following steps:
     • Go to the solution explorer
     • Right-click the MedioClinic project
     • Go to the Web tab
     • Under the Servers section > Project Url, set the correct URL according to your IIS configuration.
10. Build the solution.
11. Open the /Config/ConnectionStrings.config file to eventually adjust the connection string (in the same way as you did with the administration interface project).
