I've been trying to install DotNetNuke for the last 3 hours with no luck. What is a good and easy to install ASP.NET CMS?

If there aren't any, what are some recommend PHP ones?

+8  A: 

Try N2 Open Source ASP.NET CMS. I haven't tried it myself, but heard good things about it.

Umbraco is another good open source ASP.NET CMS.

I found none that would have everything that I wanted so I had to write my own. If you can go php, our government often uses typo3 and from what I've seen it is >>>>> joomla/drupal/plone

Typo3 sucks IMO.Slow, heavy and hard to costumize completely.

Stay away from Ektron, that's all I can say.

Amen! And RedDot too for that matter.

why not ektron? only ask as there is a project where I may be involved which uses this product.

Ektron is very hard to customize, requires a lot of integration (every author has to install their web editor as a local app), the file repository defaults to your root, the content is stored in the database as XML, they use a custom uncompressed version of jQuery...the list goes on.

Microsoft has several CMS starter kits, so if you decide to create your own you may want to start by checking them out: http://www.asp.net/community/projects/

Umbraco Is My Choice, Would Not Use Anything Else, It Beats Some Enterprise CMS Systems Like SiteCore!

MojoPortal seems to be quite hip with the kids these days.

If you're looking for an enterprise grade solution, look at Sitecore. I used it at the last job and it was simple to install and performed super fast. I worked on www.shields.com, which is utilizing the latest version, Sitecore 6. I have nothing bad to say about it.

EDIT: Also, we programmed Shields in a week!

I've only used it for simple stuff myself (for a small client project once), but beyond my own (positive) experience, I do know Drupal's pretty highly regarded as a PHP-based solution, and there's plenty of documentation available for it as well (plus a number of good books -- I'm rather partial to the Apress one, personally).

Kentico has a lot.

I discovered Telerik's Sitefinity CMS a couple years. The product is designed to be easily customized using regular ASP.NET technologies (UserControls, etc). It doesn't have as many out of the box features as some of the other CMS's mentioned here, but, in my experience, Sitefinity is a ton easier to extend & adapt.
