Gummy Bear setup details are available on
the Sueetie Wiki. There is also
a Sueetie Forum area dedicated to Gummy Bear. Please use them for assistance
and to share your experience with others.
1) Create your SQL Database
It is assumed your empty SQL Server Database is created and ready to be Gummy Bear's
new home. If not, create the SQL database and add the user accounts that will be
supporting your Gummy Bear website user. Be sure to test the connection string before
proceeding.
2) Configure IIS applications
Here is a screenshot of Gummy Bear in IIS showing directories that must be set as
IIS applications.
3) Set IIS Directory Permissions
Certain site folders require read-write permissions. For play purposes, set IIS
Identity permissions to full read-write. For live sites, folders requiring read-write
permissions are listed on the
Sueetie Wiki Gummy Bear Setup page.
4) Update Connection Strings
The Sueetie application connection string locations are listed below. You can retrieve
these files quickly in Notepad++ or Visual Studio** by searching the site file contents
for the unique term "GummyBear" in all site .config files.
\connections.config
\Sueetie.config
\Blog\connections.config
\forum\db.config
\marketplace\connections.config
\media\Web.config
\wiki\Web.config
For your convenience, Gummy Bear uses the following connection string:
data source=(local);initial catalog=GummyBear;integrated security=SSPI
This enables you to do a single search-replace operation. Done!
** If you load Gummy Bear in Visual Studio, remember it's a Web Site. No .proj or
.sln file.
5) Web Service URL Updates in root Web.Config
The Member Account pages and other Sueetie framework features like favorites and
following use JQuery and WCF. WCF is configured in the <system.serviceModel>
area at the bottom of the /web.config file. You need to update the baseAddress urls,
so replace "http://gummybear" with the host name of your site.
6) Marketplace app.config property
If you're using the Marketplace classifieds application with your community, you'll
need to set the SUEETIE.MarketplaceRootUrl property in /marketplace/app.config.
We'll try to get rid of this step in the future.
7) Apply 32x/64x Gallery Server Pro DLLs
Sueetie is compiled for 64x systems. If you're using a 32x system, none of the apps
will complain except Gallery Server Pro, for which you need to replace 3 DLLs in
\media\bin. A ZIP containing those DLLs is located at sueetie.com. You will also
