Setting up a new EPiServer 6 project with source control

Question

I want to end up with one VS project / solution, which I can verify in the source control, that any other developer in the office can just check and run, and that I can deploy without installing EPiServer program files on each web server.

I just used the EPiServer 6 Deployment Center (part of the official EPiServer 6 download). This gave me an EPiServer template project, setting up a website in IIS, and a database.

The first problem is that when I modify the VS project file to use Visual Studio Development Server, the cms start page (site center) no longer works.

And the bigger problem is that the episerver.config file uses all kinds of files in the C: \ Program Files (x86) \ EPiServer directory on my machine.

Answer 1

You can delete virtualPath elements pointing to Program Files in the configuration file and copy these folders to the same paths in the versioned project folder.
