I read that sitecore 8.1 has option to run CMS only mode (i.e. without xDB).
However I've not found any documentation on below:
Do we also need to disable aggregation task/service?
Any other steps we need to take?
Any help will be much appreciated.
The official documentation of Sitecore for CMS Only Mode can be found here: The CMS-only mode configuration settings As for the settings you need to set:
Xdb.Enabled
Xdb.Tracking.Enabled
Xdb.Configuration.XdbSettings
Also, according to the documentation, if you don't have a valid xDB license, you will run in CMS Only Mode by default.

I am new to Sitecore administration. I wanted to setup Sitecore 8.1 in an Azure vm. I have one Azure sql vm and one vm for Sitecore. So I would like to know the best recommended approach to set up Sitecore
using Sitecore web installer
from sitecore zip
using pre defined powershell script (not very much sure about steps)

Please guide me as I am new to Sitecore administration.
Deb,
I know isn't the version that you were looking for, however you can get the idea in deal with a Sitecore installation and all its prerequistes. Please have a look here: https://sdn.sitecore.net/upload/sitecore7/70/installation_guide_sc70-a4.pdf
Based on Sitecore installation guide, I haven't seen a recommendation from them saying "install using EXE" or "install using ZIP". Actually, they show you both! Personally, I would suggest you to go through using ZIP.
Cheers,
Vinicius
I'm trying to deploy this Yii2 installation (https://github.com/trntv/yii2-starter-kit/blob/master/docs/installation.md#configure-your-web-server) but I'm having problems.
I think problems are related with this configuration step: "Configure your web server".
I've the webpage running here: http://vector5.raspctl.com/yii2-starter-kit/frontend/web/
But no one of the options works. For example, "Connect" option (http://vector5.raspctl.com/yii2-starter-kit/frontend/web/user/sign-in/login)
I can't found the error, any help?
Thanks.
The Yii2-Starter-Kit is not ready to work in a single-domain installation. You must enable, for example: backend.website.com, storage.website.com and the frontpage www.website.com
The installation guide, specifies this.
You can use this guide, to setup your single-domain installation (remember that the yii2-starter-kit also uses the storage folder!).
Have a great week.
I'm building a website which requires forum integration to a Sitecore build - I've checked on the Sitecore website and they suggest YetAnotherForum and Telligent Community Integration Module. Both of these modules tho only support up till 6.4.1 and 6.4 respectively - I'm using Sitecore 7.0.
Logged a ticket with Sitecore and they came back with the following:
We have no information about Forum modules that are compatible with Sitecore 7.1. I would recommend you to contact your regional office and check whether they could advise you something.
Any suggestions?
First of all Telligent supports Sitecore 7.

I have been working with Sitecore and Telligent Community integration from quite time and from my experience i have this opinion.
For deep integration it is quite a lot of work and requires much knowledge of both the product and costs will be high for licensing & deployment. But i can assure you that Telligent will work in Sitecore newer version also. However with higher costs you will get more rich functionality, Facebook like Activity Stream, and Apart from Forums it also has Blogs, Wikis, Media Gallery.
Telligent supports two kind of integrations:
1. Side by Side Integration - In this Sitecore and Telligent both will be user facing.
2. Integration mode - In this user will be mostly in Sitecore.
Reference link
If you are Sitecore Partner you will get trial license of Telligent. For details check 'Social Starter Kit' on Sitecore SDN site. Also there is video on YouTube regarding Sitecore & Telligent Integration in Sitecore Virtual User Group community.
I have no experience on YAF module so can't suggest on that.
Did you try to install YAF integration module, https://marketplace.sitecore.net/en/Modules/YAF_integration.aspx, i think it would run on Sitecore 7, since this module mainly integrate YAF with Sitecore security, i don't see why it should not run on Sitecore 7.
The Telligent product was renamed, I suggest you take a look at http://www.zimbra.com/products/zimbra-community/sitecore-starter.html and contact them. I'm unaware of what version they're targeted at right now.
In the control panel of sitecore 6.2 installation, the database compare option is missing.
Do we need to do any configuration in order to get that option?
I can see that option in sitecore 5.3.
You won't find this in 6.2. "Compare databases" command is no longer supported.
You can use a third party tool like Razl.
But this is not free.
