I have my Umbraco 12 instance that i am working on locally. When i publish the thing on my plesk linux server, all of my Settings and Content are gone (which is normal). So i make an "Export to file" with uSync on my local instance and then import this file on my server instance. This does not seem to work, it alway says something like "0 changes made". I am not really sure if uSync is supposed to work like this. Because the files in uSync folder look tiny and seemingly dont include any "real content", just few lines of xml.
So as workaround i now publish the thing, make the first run configuration/setup and then swap the database with the database from my local instance.
Now here my questions:
Am i doing something wrong with uSync?
Is it possible to skip the first run config/setup part?I would like to include the database on publish and then run it as is.
I think this is a linux or possibly a Plesk thing.
When importing a uSync file, for something like -> "Content\home.config" There is no folder "Content" being created, instead a single file with this name is created on the server.
When i copy the uSync folders manually, importing works like a charm.
Publishing Umbraco as is (including the database)
Hi all,
This is a two parter so please bear with me.

Many thanks for your help!

Hi David
uSync itself with handle doc type definitions and data types, all the schema...
if you want to move content / media
Then uSync Content Edition can do that...
if you want a fancy UI for editors to publish between a staging and live environment then uSync Complete can do that, but it's paid for.
uSync and uSync Content Edition though are free.

Hi Marc,
i just found out what the problem with uSync was.
I think this is a linux or possibly a Plesk thing.
When importing a uSync file, for something like -> "Content\home.config" There is no folder "Content" being created, instead a single file with this name is created on the server.
When i copy the uSync folders manually, importing works like a charm.
