I'm a little confused about this process... we've got a staging and a live site. If we make changes in the editor, apart from replacing the database, what other files need to be copied over to the live folder to make the updates show on the live site?
Deployment from Dev to Live
Hi,
Now I am ready to deploy my first Umbraco project. I got myself a hosting at eHosting(silver package) which comes with MS SQL.
So, How do I install Umbraco in the hosting environment? How do I deploy the pages that are created in local?
Do I XCopy them and import data to SQL server via Enterprise Manager?
Or Do I install umbraco to live and do some sort of magic to get my local pages up there?
What is the best practice way?
Thanks for the help in advance.
Merry Christmas!
I simply backup the database and restore it on live and then XCopy all the pages up.
Change the database connection in web.config and you should be good to go.
Remember to set permissions on your web directly correctly too.

If you don't have direct access to the server the you can create a script (including data) and run that script on the production DB.

I think that would be the easiest way, at the end it is another web app...
Thanks Rich.
I've you use email at all, don't forget to update your SMTP settings in the web.config.

Does anybody knows if when on Live need to remove / disable external access to these folders:
+ install
+ umbraco
Some any other folders or files to remove/disable?
Can external people do things like
http://mywebsite/umbraco/dialogs/republish.aspx?xml=true
and publish my website?
is working on a reply...
