I am new to Umbraco 7 and recently created a MVC5 C# project with Umbraco 7 installed via Nuget. When I set up the SQL server, through the setup process, I set up a connection to a SQL database living on the hosting service I pay for.
I have made changes through the live site, but for some reason, when I am running the web app locally, I get a 404 error on the pages I created via the live site. I have also noticed that my local project only seems to have the content from before the time I started making changes on the live site. This is making it really difficult because I can't test my views for my new pages I have created on the site.
I have checked my Web.config and the connection string says it is pointing to that external database, and when I refresh my server explorer, I still run into the same issue.
Is Umbraco using some cached version that I need to update manually? or am I actually not connected to the database I think I'm connected to?
If you're using the same database for your dev environment as you're using on your live environment then you need to go to the "Content" section in Umbraco and then right click on the "CONENT" node and choose "Republish entire site" - This will update the /App_Data/umbraco.config file, which is the XML cache that stores the content.
Once you have done that you should be able to see the pages locally as well. You need to do this each time you make a content change on one of the environments and you want to be able to see those changes on the other site.
It needs to be done since the file lives in both environments.
New to Umbraco 7: Debugging is using a stale version of the SQL database
