Creating and preparing a database

In this example we will use an access database for the demosite project. We will use the program AdminDesk (which can be located in Start > All Programs > PowerNodes > AdminDesk

  1. Create a new access database in the project root C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\demosite\demo.mdb
  2. Open AdminDesk
  3. Press connect
  4. Choose Connection Type: OleDb Source
  5. Select Verify Schema
  6. Press "Next" until the last step and then press "Apply"
  7. After the Verify Schema is finished select "Load Default Data"
  8. Set the Administrator password - in this example we have used the password 1234

The database has been now prepared to run a PowerNodes website. For more information about AdminDesk please refer to the PowerNodes manual.

NOTE: When loading default data into a database all earlier data will be deleted
