I have a problem I am simply unable to understand.
I have Umbraco installed and a database installed.
I have recently moved it all to another server.
Everything seemed to work until I tried and edit something.
I can edit everything perfect in the CMS Module, it is saved and I can preview it. But once I want to view it on the actual website it is the old version that appears.
How is that even possible?
Hope you guys have some suggestions for me, because I am drawing a blank here.
I'm going out on a limb here, but my guess is, that you did a complete copy of your website from one server to another, including the App_Data folder. That means also copying the umbraco.config file, which is the xml representation of your database content and is used to fetch frontend content. If for some reason that file is not being updated when you are publishing items in the backend, that would cause the content from the old site to be rendered in the browser.
What you can try and do is right click on the root Content node in the content section and choose "Republish entire site". That should refresh the umbraco.config file with the current content in your database. Good luck :)
If the republish doesn't do the job, try simply deleting the umbraco.config file and restart the webserver (causing it to regenerate the file). It can be done by either touching (editing and re-saving) the web.config file or restarting the IIS... ;-)
Your problem could be caused by permissions carried over when copying, not allowing umbraco to overwrite the umbraco.config file with new content.
Republish the entired site works for me! Thanks. I messed the web.config and have to install a new Umbraco to get a proper config file. Then I change the database setting in web.config: ‘umbracoDbDSN’ > ‘catalogue’, content shown up in control panel but not website, until I re publish.
Database saved content does not show up on website.
