Download

nopCommerce is a free open source e-commerce application. Get more information about nopCommerce from http://docs.nopcommerce.com/display/nc/nopCommerce+Documentation

Download the nopCommerce 3.70 source code from https://nopcommerce.codeplex.com/releases/view/615748

Prerequisites

Basic knowledge of nopCommerce
Basic knowledge of using FileZilla and Godaddy Control Panel.

Creating nopCommerce application in Godaddy plesk panel

Login to your Godaday account. Navigate to your Mange Host control panel, by using the quick link. In my case, I have purchased the economy plan with one MS SQL database. Let's start by creating a database.

Click database from control panel, as show in the image below. The database dashboard will open.

Click on Add New Database.

Give the database name and chose the server type as MS SQL server. Create credentials to access the database. Check the database status in the database dashboard.

Extract the downloaded nopCommerce 3.70 and transfer the file to the Server, using FileZilla.

Once the file transfer is completed, go to your web hosting control panel and click on File Manager. If needed, you can rename the folder. Click on the web.config file and change the custom error mode to “off “, so that we can get the details of the exception that occurs while opening the site in browser.

Go back to your control panel and click on Host Setting. A new window will open.

Change the document's root path to recently added nopCommerce application directory.

Now, let's start running the website. Click open in control panel, or directly give your domain name that's set for this web hosting.

Well, there is a permission issue which can be easily rid outremoved by the following steps:

Step 1: Change the ASP.NET Settings.

Set the CAS trust level to Full, as shown in the following figures.

Step 2: Update the web.config file.

Open the web.config in the text editor which is provided by GoDaddy. Add the following code in web.config file and save it.

<system.web>
<trust level=”Full”/>
</system.web>
</configuration>

That’s it. Now, open the site, complete the installation, and enjoy the nopCommerce e-commerce solution application.

Note:Update the custom error mode to remote only in web config file once the installation is completed successfully.
