I have a confounding problem.

I have a working local Umbraco which I've made some changes to and pushed up to my staging server on Azure. On Azure it's broken.

I've looked at the data and the Umbraco.config. I should have a page which displays 3 corporate partner content items. On my dev server this is the data I get (The second value is the Node Id)...

Microsoft | 1202 | /partners/microsoft/ | https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/smb/ Umbraco | 1203 | /partners/umbraco/ | http://www.umbraco.com Rackspace | 1191 | /partners/rackspace/ | http://www.rackspace.com

This is expected.

On the Staging server I see this...

Microsoft | 1202 | /partners/microsoft/ | https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/smb/ Microsoft | 1188 | /partners/microsoft/ | Umbraco | 1203 | /partners/umbraco/ | http://www.umbraco.com RackSpace | 1189 | /partners/rackspace/ | Rackspace | 1191 | /partners/rackspace/ | http://www.rackspace.com

I've looked at the cmsContent table and the cmsContentType table in both databases to look for any differences (I'd deleted and copied it up from my dev machine, but just to be on the safe side). These Ids seem to refer to a folder and an image. Not what's indicated above.

The issue seems to be cache related. If I look at the Umbraco.config file from Azure I see this...

On my dev environment this looks like this...

Nice and tidy, as expected.

I have tried...

• Republishing the site content
• Republishing the app to Azure
• Deleting and redeploying the database
• Restarting the Azure Web site

I am at a loss as to what to do next - The database seems fine, but the cache generation is failing somehow.

I'm on Umbraco 7.1
