    Installing from Azure using Gallery

    Hi!

    I've created a new umbraco directly from the gallery. 

    It opens fine, and at the select connectionstring dialog I paste in the connectionstring I found in the "Connectionstrings" section of the website dashboard.

    I press next, and it says database is up to date.

    Then I press next, and get presented this error:

     

    
[NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.]
   umbraco.presentation.install.steps.Definitions.DefaultUser.Completed() +13
   umbraco.cms.businesslogic.installer.InstallerStepCollection.GotoNextStep(String key) +184

   System.Web.UI.Page.RaisePostBackEvent(NameValueCollection postData) +176
   System.Web.UI.Page.ProcessRequestMain(Boolean includeStagesBeforeAsyncPoint, Boolean includeStagesAfterAsyncPoint) +5563
     

    I've tried several times, but same error appears. Any ideas what's wrong?

    Regards

    Lars

    Hi Lars -

    I ran into this recently as well and have done some investigation.  The issue appears to be a db schema mis-match generated by the WebDeploy-based installer.  The workaround (until we release 4.11 where this will be addressed) is to drop the SqlAzure database, create a new SqlAzure database and a new user for the login created by the installer, like this:

    CREATE USER umbraco4101 FOR LOGIN umbraco4101;
    GO
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_ddladmin', umbraco4101;
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_securityadmin', umbraco4101;
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datareader', umbraco4101;
    EXEC sp_addrolemember 'db_datawriter', umbraco4101;
    GO

    Make sure to clear the umbracoDbDsn value in web.config, then re-run the installer and provide the SqlAzure connection string in the Advanced Option dialog at the database step.

    -Paul
