I suppose the site should become the default on your server when you upload / deploy it to the server? :)
Can you access the Umbraco backoffice? And can you access the website?
But can you tell us a bit more about how you did the upload / deploy? Did you copy over all the files within the Umbraco folder to the site on the server?
Please try and describe your process in as much detail as possible, which make it easier for people to try and help you out :)
Ok - Everything seems to be working fine? So I'm not quite sure what the issue is? :)
Are you missing the content you created locally? And did you publish the site using Webmatrix? I get that you have been using Webmatrix as the editor - But that does not tell me whether you used the build in web deploy options or did a manual FTP upload for instance.
Just a guess here, maybe you don't have permission to FTP a CE database in use.
If you go to your LOCAL installation, and create a file called "app_offline.htm" in the same directory as your "index.html"/"default.aspx" (root folder).
Then you should be able to FTP your database located in /App_Data to the server.
(Make sure to rename/remove the "app_offline.htm" file after you try)
Worth a shot :)
EDIT: Didn't see the bit about embedded database in WebMatrix, so not sure this is the issue (never used WebMatrix).
The site became umbraco default site once I copied the site from local to server.
I used webmatrix build my first Umbraco site in my local computer, the database is MS CE.
I uploaded whole site to the server, somehow it changed to umbraco default site.
I probably didn't copy the database file to the server, but I don't know how should I do it.
My database is embed at webmatrix.

This is my local site looking.
I used FTP to upload all the files to server.
I didn't publish the site using webmatrix, I thought publish just mean upload the files to server.
After I FTP all the files, do I have to publish the site through webmatrix?

I found out the reason.
under "app_data" the file "Umbraco.sdf" is different between my local and server.
I possibly upload the wrong folder.
Thanks so much.
