I am currently using this https://elearning.sitecore.net/Public/ContentDetails.aspx?id=7B781B1C3510447BBA22D7B0BF3251A2
In which in the setup step, it is said that on have to add a sc.variable in the web.config file.
But where should i place it? If I add it somewhere random in the web.config file => I end up having problems with setting the authentication in IIS, and if i don't add it, it will not install it.
I am currently installing the sitescore from a zip version.
What am I doing wrong?
This should be added inside sitecore node. e.g.
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
<sitecore>
<sc.variable name="webDAVPrefix" value="/sitecore_files"/>
</sitecore>
</configuration>
Look at sitecore.config for some uses.
I'd recommend adding it to a patch file (which will add it to the main compiled sitecore node). You can place the patch in your App_Config/Include folder in the Website root. (Ex: App_Config/Include/Settings.config)
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration xmlns:patch="http://www.sitecore.net/xmlconfig/">
<sitecore>
<sc.variable name="sourceFolder" value="C:\Sitecore\source" />
</sitecore>
</configuration>
<sitecore>section was located inside the Web.config. At some point it was moved to a separate file called Sitecore.config.
