In step 2.6 you are prompted to enter name and credentials of the Umbraco database on SQL Azure, for which you should already have created an empty database through the Azure admin panel. In the DOS prompt you can either choose to create a clean install (which will install a clean Umbraco db) or choose not to (for which you should already have used the SQL Azure migration tool). Either way you need to make sure you have a database created.
In step 2.7 you are prompted to enter name and credentials of the session state database, for which I prefer to use the same database and credentials (it will install the ASP membership tables next to the Umbraco tables). If you do wish to use a seperate database, you also need to create an empty db in the Azure admin panel beforehand.
Installing Umbraco on Azure! How hard can it be!!
Hey
I have been trying to install umbraco on azure for a while now. But have run into many problems.
When i try to install Umbraco via UmbracoAccelerator the guide suddenly close, after I give the information to the Azure Sql database.
I have done it on both Windows 7 32 and 64 bit. It does the same.
Why is it that nobody has made a Video guide on how to install Umbraco on Azure?
Or where can i find such a thing?
Thanks for your time! :) Kevin
Hi Kevin,
Here you can download a great step-by-step guide I have recently used for several deploys to Azure:

Hope this helps :-)

Thank you for your prompt response!
That sounds really good!
Hi Kevin,
I also found this video about Azure on the Umbraco website.

Hope this can help you further.

No problem, if you do run into any problems, I'm glad to assist.
Hi Dennis. I have been using the UmbracoAccelerator, but after i type the azure sql password the guide close automatically? It is very wierd.
Hi Lennart
I have done it exactly the way the guide says it, but i can not start on task 2.7 because the dos promt automatically close.
I am running a virtual Windows 7 64 bit, so that should not be the problem.
Thank you for your help!
Kevin, are you able to connect to the SQL Azure db with SQL management studio?
Did you manage to create/migrate the Umbraco db according to step 2.6 ?
No, it do not create another database.
It just close after I type the password into the Dos promt and hit Enter.
