Testing your InstantKB.NET installation


At this stage you should now test your InstantKB.NET installation. The quickest way to do this is to simply open your favorite web browser and navigate to the URL where you installed InstantKB.NET. In this example we have installed InstantKB.NET to our default web site so we would navigate to "http://localhost/InstantKB20/" to test the installation.

If everything was successful you should see the default layout as shown below...



If you don't receive the default InstantKB.NET screen please review the related links below for a list of general exceptions you may encounter whilst installing InstantKB.NET. If you do experience any problems and the issue is not covered within the related links below please don't hesitate to contact us.

Once you see the default InstantKB.NET screen as shown above te installation is complete.

Logging in as the Administrator

To access the admin & staff control panels you should login using the details below...

Email Address: admin@admin.com
Password: admin

Updating the default Administrator account

IMPORTANT: You should update the default administrator login details after installing InstantKB.NET. This is to ensure others can't login as the administrator within your installation. To update the default administrator account details click the "Admin CP" link within the top right navigation. From within the Admin CP click the "Members" link and then click "Manage Members".

Click the "Edit Profile" link as shown below...



From the edit profile page use the various buttons shown below to update the administrators email address, username & password. It's important you remember these details to ensure you can login again. Any change to your email address will automatically log you out of InstantKB.NET. For this reason we would suggest your update your username and password first.



That's It!

You should now update the SMTP server settings within InstantKB.NET to ensure the application can send email's. Email's are sent for example during registration or during workflow. You cam update the SMTP server information from the "Admin CP » Settings » Email & RSS" page.
