I have a drupal site and i installed the owa module on it.
I cant find a good manual how to install and configure it properly.
Readme.txt from from the owa module on drupal says
Installation
1)* Copy the 'owa' module directory in to your Drupal
sites/all/modules directory as usual.
Usage
2)In the settings page enter your Open Web Analytics SiteID and the Open Web Analytics installation url.
after installing owa module on drupal the 1) step is ok
I dont know where to find the SiteID and which url to write on the settings page.
Do i have to download and copy also all the owa folder to the owa folder on drupal?
What i have to do exactly??
Its simple, go to Reporting on your OWA dashboard, on the lists of the sites you are tracking, look for the site for which you need its ID and URL, click Get Tracking Code in the row of that site. The popup window thats comes up has all the information you are looking for. Hope this helps :)

I've researching this for over a month now and I'm very frustrated. What I want to do seems very doable but I'm frustrated that there doesn't seem to be one simple answer to this issue.
I've installed Drupal on a domain on a Virtual Private Server. The software is installed by the hosting service using Plesk but they don't support the software or Drupal, so I'm on my own.
When Plesk installs Drupal, it does so in a 'drupal' folder so when you navigate to the site, it says http://domainname.com/drupal But I want Drupal to run the entire site from the root. I don't want "drupal" to appear anywhere.
The answers I've seen say that you need to add an .htaccess file that provides a redirect and then to edit the .htaccess file in the Drupal folder and the settings.php file. But when I do this the site throws an error and I can't login to the drupal interface.
I am not a programmer or coder. I've created many HTML sites and even a WordPress site, but WordPress is so much easier to set up this way. So, sorry if this is really a lame question, but I need to know whether I need to re-install drupal in the root folder or if I can get it to actually serve drupal from the root by editing these files.
I'm able to access the site via SSH and edit or create any file needed.
Here are my questions:
Can I get Drupal to run from the root by simply editing the drupal/.htaccess file, the settings.php file and by adding an .htaccess file in the site root? If not, what do I need to do?
Do I need to move the drupal index.php file to the site root or create a new index file? None of the instructions say anything about this.
After editing those files and creating a new .htaccess file will I be able to login and manage the site properly?
Does anyone have a link to a set of instructions for a complete drupal novice? Any help in this endeavor would be greatly appreciated.
Is it possible to disable a DNN portal, or an entire DNN installation to everyone except administrator / host users?
I need to update a DNN website and apply new themes to differant sections of the website, however this will take some time on the live website.
I'd like to achieve similar to this "Wordpress Maintenance Mode" module plugin.
I'm aware of using the APP_OFFLINE.html file to disable the entire website, however we need a couple of admins to go in and make changes whilst keeping everyone else off the website.
There isn't a maintenance mode in DNN. What I would do is the following.
Setup a new website in IIS, beta.mywebsite.com. Have that website point to your Existing DNN folder.
Point your current website to a new folder with the App_Offline.htm file/message in place. Then have your admins go to the beta.mywebsite.com URL instead of going to the www version of the URL.
That would probably be the most straightforward way to do this for DNN without writing a custom maintenance mode module for DNN.
I started working on an existing website that uses DNN. I am having difficulty understanding and accessing DNN in their staging/test environment. In IIS there are a few different websites. How can I figure out how to get to the main Admin DNN screen by looking at the information in IIS and exploring to files. Once there I need to apply new licenses for DNN.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.
In IIS, right click on the website and choose the Manage Bindings option, that will show you the various Host Names (URLS) that are configured.
Try those URLs, and then put ?CTL=login on the end of the URL to get DNN to load the login control. From there you can login with a HOST or ADMIN account, HOST/SuperUser account would be best, as you can then go to the Host/Portals (Site Management?) page and see how many different "sites" are configured within the DNN installation.
It seems that DNN is undergoing an upgrade and I cannot access the forums or many of the docs. Needing an answer soon, and Google providing too many varied types of hits (none of which are helpful or most of which post to the DNN site that is undergoing that upgrade), I had a few questions about setting up DNN.
First, I am coming from Orchard. There I was able to use Webmatrix - I downloaded the web version, opened as administrator, created modules, messed with themes, etc. Using the Orchard Docs, I was able to set up a multi-tenant site and run it on local host (IIS express through Webmatrix) - this included modifying the host/config files to view the multi-tenant sites. I could then publish to my own server running IIS 7. On the server I set up the landlord site then bound the tenants with no problem.
Being new to DNN (and things not being readily available at the moment on their site), I was hoping I could get some guidance on how to set up DNN similar to what I did with Orchard.
First question is obviously whether or not that is possible (i.e., no IIS, only IIS Express (Webmatrix) on my local machine).
Here would be my other questions:
If I can run it locally, can I just download the 7.1.0 new install package, and open Webmatrix (as Admin) on the folder I unzipped it in?
Assuming I just "Run" the website, I will then set up the "Landlord" instance of DNN on the following screens, correct? (i.e., where it asks for credentials and what DB setup I can use)
Can I then go ahead and create sub-tenant sites (alias/portal)? If so, do I go about manually updating my host/config files to run those tenants (depending on the port)?
Assume all of the above is correct, do I have to "reinstall" the 7.1.0 package on my webserver, or will a simple publish from Webmatrix do (with the proper credentials in Settings)? If so, I can handle pointing to the landlord on my server and then binding my subtenants in IIS.
Sorry for the n00b questions. Thanks!
On the Download page on dnnsoftware.com, there's a link to click which will start the install process within WebMatrix: http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appsxml=www.microsoft.com%2fweb%2fwebpi%2f2.0%2fWebApplicationList.xml&appid=106
When you create a new portal, you can specify that it uses a URL which is a subdirectory of the current URL (i.e. a child portal alias), so that you don't have to use different ports. I'm not especially familiar with IIS Express, so I would expect that you could point multiple ports to the site, and map those as different portal aliases, but not sure exactly how you could do that, if you don't want to make use of child portal aliases.
To publish a site, you should just need to push the file system and database, and setup IIS.
How can we set Google Analytics on my website which is created on DNN 6.3.
Is there any need to install google analytics module in DNN 6.3 (I think it is already inbuilt in upper version of DNN 6.0) or it just start working by only set Tracking Id in admin section.
Actually what i did :> I have created an account with "Google Analytics" & set our site parameters after that I got Tracking Id which I have set to my DNN account.
Now what i had seen on my Google Analytics account there was no counting of any report all are showing zero. But during that time i was visit more than 5 times on my website.
So if anyone have an idea what i was doing wrong kindly suggest to me :)
There is no such thing as DNN 6.3. It went from 6.2.x to 7.0.x... But, you don't need to install any additional modules for DNN 6.x to get Google Analytics to show up. You just need to enter your Tracking ID in Admin -> Google Analytics.
Then you can check whether it's working correctly by verifying it rendered in the HTML. Bring up your site in your browser and then view the source of the page. Then search for "UA-". If it finds it, then that should be the Google Analytics snippet. If it didn't find it, then there's something going wrong.
Keep in mind that by default Google Analytics won't show the current day's hits. You have to modify the date range to include todays date.
