    Install Umbraco with remote SQL Database

    The install instructions are useless.

    Using the web plaform installer does not allow me to configure for my remote database

    Manual install is no better as despite all the forum articles I cant connect to my database and just get error upon error.

    Its hopeless as what is a nice CMS is now gonna get dump and I might just write my own as I know i can get that to work, but I would rather not.

    Its probably me missing a step but it isnt easy and I'm a pretty confident techy

    Any help would be appreciated as I'm getting a little bit frustrasted

    Hey Dave,

    Wecome to the forum.

    You could try:

    1. Putting the connection string into config file before trying to set Umbraco up.
    2. Set it up locally and transfer your db?

    I dont understand what you mean

    I am using the recommended web platform installer method which offers no such option

    The manual method does but just created so many follow on errors it just wasnt funny

    Webmatrix just refuses to install at all

    This isnt a good advertisement fo Umbraco. Am I going to find more of the same when I do manage to get installed

    Is it going to turn into a management headache ?
