2. Configure your blog

To ensure DasBlog works correctly you should update the the site.Environment.config file root element. This represents the public root URL of your site. Nothing will work correctly without this update.

You can change this setting by manually updating the file or by executing DasBlog Core CLI commands in the web root directory.

dasblog-core config root https://www.mysite.com

For Linux based deploys execute the following via SSH:

dotnet dasblog-core.dll config root https://www.mysite.com

Requires a site restart to take effect.

Log in with default security

You can log in to your blog (.../account/login) with the following default sign in info:

• email: [email protected]
• password: admin

Security settings (required changes)

Update the default credentials as soon as possible! To update the credentials login and navigate to the admin user page (.../users).

We only permit one user currently and its role must be set to "Admin" ("Contributor" role may get defined in future iteration of Dasblog Core).

These credentials can be used to open, edit and publish blog posts with with tools like Open Live Writer.

Admin Settings (required changes)

The Admin Settings page (.../admin/settings) also allow you to customize everything related to your site including the Title, Front Page, RSS Feed, Comments, Meta data, Social networks, blogging and the basic URL format.
