Can't install Umbraco using Azure SQL Db

Installing umbraco

Umbraco 7

Hi,

I have installed Umbraco using Nuget in VS2015, which works using a local db. However, when I change the connection string in the web.config to point to an Azure SQL Database I cannot install Umbraco. I get no errors but the install page never shows the initial dialog. If I look in the dev tools I can see that http://

I have spent a couple of hours trying to find a solution to this but got nowhere. Please help!

Many thanks :)

So you installed it with a local DB first and then pointed the connectionstring it to a empty database in Azure.

You probably need to clear out this value in your web.config file to trigger the installer to run again, so it can set up your database.
```
<add key="umbracoConfigurationStatus" value="" />
```

So if you have installed it with a local DB first, you need to remove the connection strings

    Before:


   <connectionStrings>
      <remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
      <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Data Source=|DataDirectory|\Umbraco.sdf;Flush Interval=1;" providerName="System.Data.SqlServerCe.4.0" />
      </connectionStrings>

    Remove:

          <connectionStrings>
            <remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
          </connectionStrings>

And re-run and choose configure manually , on the same page where you enter your username , password

After that you will see that the web.config is modified
