I have used the Umbraco Accelerator to host a project on Azure. When I redeploy the site (to update for major changes) to blob storage and deploy the database using the SQL Azure Migration Wizard, content is being persisted from the previous umbraco instance.
I have cleared the AspStateTempSessions database table used and republished content but certain pages are still being persisted.
What might this be? I assumed that the umbraco.config was being persisted to the State database and that republishing would clear and repopulate this.
Ah, sorry - Don't know that much of Azure so I thought the umbraco.config existed. My bad. Let's see if some of the other bright minds in here can help you out :)
Hey Kieron, how's things? The best people to ask about this would be Alex Norcliffe (@alex_norcliffe on Twitter), or Paul Sterling (@paulsterling on Twitter). They're the two people I can think of off the top of my head who would be best able to help you out on this one. I've not used Azure with Umbraco yet, so I can't really offer much more than that!
The only thing I can think of is that you could use a blob storage explorer to see if you can find the config file. Some tools are a bit flaky with Umbraco/Azure though, so you could try downloading the site with this: http://our.umbraco.org/projects/developer-tools/azure-website-downloader to see what's in the umbraco.config file (see if it has old content in it).
Hi Tim, thanks for the info. I managed to get it fixed by rebooting the role instances and clearing the session states. However, since rebooting an instance takes about 10 minutes it's less than ideal to have to do this!
I'll check out the tool though - it's always good to have options!
Published site is persisting old content on Azure

Hi Kieron
What happens if you delete the umbraco.config file and then log in and try to republish once again? Does that help?

There is no umbraco.config in the blob storage. I assume that this is read, stored and deleted by the accelerator.
