Having some problems moving my existing Umbraco installation to a new website.
I have done the following:
Zipped up existing Umbraco install
Backed up Database from existing Umbraco install
Installed Umbraco onto new server
Copied and replaced the new Umbraco install files with the files from my existing install
Restored database from existing Umbraco backup.
I then try to go to my url umbracodemo.mountaininteractive.ca and I prompted to install Umbraco again?
If I try to go to umbracodemo.mountaininteractive.ca/umbraco/ I am prompted to login but no username password combination works, i've tried to even reset the password to blank and default and no success.
You need to republish the entire site from the back office to get the content to show up. You may also need to republish your media items as well, if you have problems with missing images. If the back office is all screwed up, you need to delete all the client dependency files in app_data/temp!
The login thing may be because the database connection string is incorrect (if it can't find the database, no error is thrown, it just says password not found). Double check to make sure that it's correct and that it's working ok.
Moving existing Umbraco install to new Server.
Hi,
Having some problems moving my existing Umbraco installation to a new website.
I have done the following:
I then try to go to my url umbracodemo.mountaininteractive.ca and I prompted to install Umbraco again?
If I try to go to umbracodemo.mountaininteractive.ca/umbraco/ I am prompted to login but no username password combination works, i've tried to even reset the password to blank and default and no success.
Any help would be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Owen
Make sure your database connection string in web.config (umbracoDbDSN) is updated to point to the new DB server.

Hope that helps!
