Hi Daniel

I think it's an issue with IIS express / CE SQL somehow. Not sure what's going on but I've had a similar experience some years ago using webmatrix to publish a 4.7 based website.

Therefore I think that you should perhaps consider deploying using FTP rather than deploying using webmatrix in this scenario.

...And you could perhaps try filing an issue on the issue tracker about the issue - perhaps containing some more details but I'm not sure that this is something Umbraco can do something about though.

Hi Jan,

Thanks for your reply. Good suggestion, yes, I'll give FTP a try.

So Webmatrix doe have a choice for FTP and I tried it (I was using their "web Deploy). Unfortunately it still doesn’t pass the variables (Umbraco fields). Did you mean trying some FTP application other than Webmatrix?

I should also add that being new to Umbraco, I'm using one of the starter kits. All the pre-existing fields pass to the server; it's only the new ones I add that don't pass, but as I said before, they work fine in the local back office.

Thanks, Daniel

Hi Daniel

Yes I was thinking about using another FTP application.

In regards to database changes I was not very clear before. If you have made changes that you need to deploy to your live site then you must of course not overwrite the database since it will loose any content created on the live environment, which is of course not what you want.

You can either add the newly created document types manually by logging into Umbraco on your live site or you could look into using packages like either usync or umport to add the fields. For files like .css, .js, .cshtml etc. deploying using webmatrix should be fine.

Hope this helps.

Hi Daniel

I'm pleased to hear that it worked out for you - that's the important bit. Remember to mark the post as solved so others can benefit as well and go straight to the solution so they can carry on :)
