    Production Server - PostAddFile 500 server error

    I did a local install of Umbraco using Web Matrix everything was working fine. I transfered my database to my web host database and that worked fine for me to connect locally and continue. I uploaded the site to the host server and I'm unable to upload anything. I can login just fine but I'm unable to upload anything through the media picker. 

    I initially thought it was a permissions issue so I found this page and set the permissions.

    Still no luck. Any idea what could be preventing this from working live?

    Version 7.1.4

    Hi Dan.

    Can you take a look in your application's log file and see if there is anymore information regarding the exception? It's usually located in the /App_Data/Logs/ folder.

    Thanks, Dan.

    Thanks Dan. I like your name, it sounds familiar. I did figure out that my permissions where nothing but a red herring. I didn't know what to look for in the logs though I had a hunch the issue was with the database itself. Orignally I used the export tool in sql manager and that caused part of the data to be written incorrectly. So I decided to just refresh it by setting it up again. To fix I backed up my local, created a database shell in my host, then restored the database there and that fixed the issue. Presto it all works again.
