Hosting the NuGet Gallery Locally in IIS

1. Ensure IIS is installed with the recommended configuration: http://www.microsoft.com/web/gallery/install.aspx?appid=iis7
2. Ensure IIS URL Rewrite Engine is Installed (alternatively please remove that section from the web.config since it is only used for nuget.org).
3. Ensure that the .NET Framework 4.5 is installed: http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=30653
4. Get the source: git clone [email protected]:NuGet/NuGetGallery.git
5. If you are not going to use SSL, please edit NuGetGallery/Website/Controllers/AuthenticationController.cs: remove the [RequireRemoteHttps] attribute from two methods surrounding Logon.
6. If your SMTP server does not use SSL, you need to edit EnableSsl and set it to false in NuGetGallery/Website/App_Start/ContainerBinding.cs around line 102:

	 var mailSenderConfiguration = new MailSenderConfiguration()
		{
			DeliveryMethod = SmtpDeliveryMethod.Network,
			Host = settings.SmtpHost,
			Port = settings.SmtpPort,
			EnableSsl = true
		};

• Alternatively you can make it configurable by doing the following:
  • NuGetGallery/Website/App_Start/IConfiguration.cs add:

          bool SmtpEnableSsl { get; }

 * NuGetGallery/Website/App_Start/Configuration.cs add:  

        public bool SmtpEnableSsl
        {
            get
            {
                return ReadAppSettings<bool>(
                 "SmtpEnableSsl",
                 (value) => bool.Parse(value ?? bool.TrueString));
            }
        }

 * NuGetGallery/Website/App_Start/ContainerBindings.cs  around line 102 change `EnableSsl = true` to:  

             EnableSsl = configuration.SmtpEnableSsl

 * In the Web.config file, add this to appSettings:  

   <add key="SmtpEnableSsl" value="false" />

1. Build the solution: build.bat from the command line (it builds to _PackagedWebsite)
2. Create a new site in IIS, mapped to <nuget-source>\Website, on port 80 (yes, it must be port 80)
3. Ensure the new site's app pool is using .NET 4
4. Edit the settings in the Web.config to match your setup, specifically the database connection string and the email settings.
5. Ensure that app pool's identity has permission to the database specified in web.config (if using integrated security, otherwise just make sure to set the connection string properly).
6. Test the site by going to the home page
7. Test the API by nuget push <package> -source http://localhost/api/v2/package -apikey <apikey>

If everything works fine, you can register a user and make it an Admin by adding a record to the UserRoles table.

Admin users can view the gallery's error log at http://localhost/elmah.axd
