Before start the installation, let’s discuss why do we use Umbraco?
Umbraco is a CMS(Content Management System) which is widely using now days. Umbraco is MVC(ASP.net) based CMS.  It’s very easy to configure and manage. You can create any type of site(large, small, business purpose etc) with Umbraco. Umbraco is also Open Source which gives you ability to manage your site as you need.
For this demonstration we are using “Umbraco v7.1.2”
Let’s see how to configure Umbraco. Follow the below steps..
Prerequisites:
  1. Need IIS server(prefer this link )

Step1 - Download latest Release from Umbraco site.
You can download Umbraco from Umbraco v7.1.2

Step2 – Extract zip file.




Step3 – Now open IIS Manager.

To start IIS Manager from the Run dialog box
  1. On the Start menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Run.
  2. In the Open box, type inetmgr and then click OK.
To start IIS Manager from the Administrative Services console
  1. On the Start menu, click All Programs, click Accessories, and then click Run.
  2. In the Run text box, type control panel, and then click OK.
  3. In the Control Panel window, click Classic View, and then double-click Administrative Tools.
  4. In the Administrative Tools window, double-click Internet Information Services.

Step4 – Expand left side connection and find “Sites”. Then Right click on “Sites” and select “Add Web Site…”  Add Web site window will open.



Step5 – 
  1. Type Site name – in demonstration “Umbraco”
  2. Select Physical path -> brow and select directory, which has Umbraco files. In demonstration “C:\Umbraco-Demo”.
  3. Type any free port for our site. Look at the below snapshot. I preferred 5454 as port no
  4. Click on OK.


Step6 – Right Click on Umbraco and manage Web site. After that click on Browse option.



When first time it browse, it will auto configure all necessary resources.
You just need to enter Name, Email and Password and Click on Install button.

Note: - Please note down Email and Password you have entered, because it will use in future to log in on Umbraco manage section.



Yeppii !!!! Congrats ….  :D
You have installed it with default content.  After completion of installation, you will be in backend ( I mean in manage section or we can say Administrator Section).

How to open Umbraco in new tab…
Simple.. open new tab and enter url - http://localhot:port/
Where port is what you used in configuration.
For me I used 5454 port so url will be http://localhost:5454/ for me.

How to Configure Umbraco on Server???
Nothing to worry, you are already configure your site for server. Just Upload all file from local web site physical directory (in demonstration C:\Umbraco-Demo) to Server Directory.
Enjoy :D :D ..
