I've never used the WPI but I always do:

• Restore dev db to hosting server
• Copy/FTP wwwroot files (excluding the install folder)
• Change whatever needs to be changed in web.config (usually only the connection string)

Ah ok so quite a simple solution then.  Do i need to set any permissions up on hosting directory i.e. allowing network service permission on folders etc?

but otherwise just copy the umbraco folder from my laptop to host location? 

I installed umbraco on c:\umbraco1.  So I copy all contents of c:\umbraco1 folder to wwwroot on my hosting space?

thanks again for your time

Yes, you would need to set the file permissions, forgot to mention that.

I usually copy all the files/folders to the host location (excluding the install folder), and then set the correct file permissions.

Here you can read about the file permissions: http://umbraco.org/documentation/books/install-umbraco-4-on-windows-vista/configure-iis-website

Hey there,

but i will copy my local umbracofolder install to ftp location htdocs and see what happens.

thanks again will update my progress soo.

Hi,

Ok I've Managed to install umbraco onto hosting environment.  Functionality wise I can add templates, but cannot save or delete.

I can add xslt but cannot save or delete.  I can add doc types but cannot delete.

Does any one have an idea on this?  Does the hosting provide need to set permissions or something?

Sounds as though the write access isn't enabled by default by the hosting provider, which is strange, I've usually found that it is, perhaps there is a setting in your hosting control panel somewhere, to enable write access to these folders, as mentioned above.

in the file manager of my control panel i set allow network service to wwwroot and subfolders.  but still as above will not save.

quite starnge as I can add but jut saving the above will not happen.  i.e. click save button but no save message. and no save.

Hi Guys,  Thanks for yr replies.

Unfortunately no fix yet.

I have dedicated pool and been given full control.  but save still does not save. 

Hi guys thanks for all yr replies.  got it fixed.

added dedicated pool and also chaged asp integrated to asp on my control panel.

again many thanks

Any  ideas why there is an erroron that path, I just moved it from one website to another website within the same IIS

DependencyHandler.axd?s=L3VtYnJhY29fY2xpZW50L3BhbmVsL3N0eWxlLmNzczsvdW1icmFjb19jbGllbnQvc2Nyb2xsaW5nbWVudS9zdHlsZS5jc3M7L3VtYnJhY29fY2xpZW50L3VpL2RlZmF1bHQuY3NzOw%3d%3d&t=Css&cdv=1

The error is

404 - File or directory not found.

Any idea guys, teh front end comes fine while teh back end floats left with many files missing.

Thanks
