I'm already trying since yesterday morning to deploy my local website (who's running fine in webmatrix) to my live server. I used the FTP function within Webmatrix, but all I got is an internal server error.
I use the simple SQL CE database system (just an .sdf file), I thought it would be the easiest way but apperenty not that easy.
I can install Umbraco with the web platform installer, but that's a clean install. For adding features I need to test it on the 'real site' on my locak machine. I know about courier but I prefer a free solution. Is there any way?
It's my first aps.net project. I deployed my files to the server, I also deployed my database file. I didn't change my connectionstrings, because I use on my local machine and on my remote server the same type of database. Should I change something in it? It looks this way right now (I already had some problems with the connectionstring in the beginning, that's why there are multiple).
I'm hosting by Hosteurope. I contacted them already several times but I got the anwser they don't give support for programs that not installed (or can be installed) through their webinterface (Plesk parallels panel). We are hiring a dedicated server (Windows server 2008 R2). I'll try installing Umbraco by the webinstaller again, and see if that still works.

Problems deploying local site to live environment
Hello
I'm already trying since yesterday morning to deploy my local website (who's running fine in webmatrix) to my live server. I used the FTP function within Webmatrix, but all I got is an internal server error.
I use the simple SQL CE database system (just an .sdf file), I thought it would be the easiest way but apperenty not that easy.
I read this article: http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/recommendations/recommended-reading-for-it-administrators/best-practices-for-live-deployment but didn't help
I can install Umbraco with the web platform installer, but that's a clean install. For adding features I need to test it on the 'real site' on my locak machine. I know about courier but I prefer a free solution. Is there any way?
Hi Robin,
Umbraco is simply a .NET website, you set it up as you would any normal .NET website.
1) Deploy Files to server
2) Deploy Database to server
3) Change any connection strings (to above DB if you're using SQL Server)
4) Set permissions
5) Set up IIS
That's off the top of my head, depends if you have shared hosting or dedicated.

Hi Rich
It's my first aps.net project. I deployed my files to the server, I also deployed my database file. I didn't change my connectionstrings, because I use on my local machine and on my remote server the same type of database. Should I change something in it? It looks this way right now (I already had some problems with the connectionstring in the beginning, that's why there are multiple).
<connectionStrings>
<remove name="LocalSqlServer" />
<!--<add name="LocalSqlServer" connectionString="server=.\sqlexpress;database=aspnetdb;user id=DBUSER;password=DBPASSWORD" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"/>-->
<add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Datasource=|DataDirectory|Umbraco.sdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
<add name="myConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
<add name="umbracoConnectionString" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
</connectionStrings>
Is there something wrong with them? I don't know much about databases and connectionstrings
Hey Robin,
If you're using SQL CE then you don't need to change any connection strings.
Who is your hosting with?
