    Well today, I'm having to install DNN on a server version I have never tried before.
    While i understand the basic principles of DNN of installing, I have never installed DNN on a server running 2012r2 with SQL 2012

    Is there a tutorial somewhere Installing DNN on IIS8.5 on a 2012 ServerR2 running SQL 2012?

    Thanks

    It should not be materially different than any other DNN installation. Just follow the "usual" installation process and you will be ok.

    1. Create a database with a known user/password
    2. Create a website using an AppPool that is ASP.NET 4 running in integrated mode.
    3. Create a directory for the website, and give permission to the AppPool identity
    4. Copy the install files (unblock the zip file first) to the directory
    5. Browse to the website
    6. Follow the directions.
