installation from source

I seem to be having some problems getting a customized nop 2.1 to install on my server correctly from source code. im using the deploy option in visual studio, but it seems that a number of files are not getting included, and the admin section doesnt seem to work either. Is there a correct way to deploy from source?

I think by default the plugins won't come with the publish functionality in Visual Studio. You have to create a new publish profile that includes all files in the directory structure.

I would recommend using prepare and deploy batch files. Many people are having issues with these batch files right now and I haven't spent anytime to solution them, but if you can get them working it is the preferred way of deploying your application from the source code.

thanks, will look into using those. and yes, i just noticed the plugins were empty...

actually, deploying.readme.txt seems to be what i needed. right there all along. doh ;)
