Hi there, I've recently successfully installed Umbraco version 7.4. I purchased the uSkinned Minimal Corp Starter Kit, but came across a problem while trying to install it.
It complains about a 'file sharing violation' and that 'A different process might be using the file', but I believe that it is because my local Documents folder is redirected to a network share. The error specifies the ...\Documents\My Web Sites\Umbraco CMS\App_Data\Umbraco.sdf file, so my question is, "how can I configure Umbraco to put this file somewhere else instead, or how can I proceed with this file being on a network drive?"
Not 100% sure what's going on here but essentially it seems like another process is using the embedded database (umbraco.sdf) - Since it's a file then if some other application is making use of it then you can't access it - Don't mind the path shown.
I think a restart of your machine should probably fix the problem.
thanks for responding. In the end, I had to install Umbraco on Azure, so it was more of an alternative way of proceeding, rather than a solution to this problem.
Definitely no other file was using the database file, as nothing else was installed on the PC... it was a fresh install of Windows 10. Unfortunately, a restart did not solve the problem.
How to configure Umbraco to stop using my network drive?

Hi Sheridan
Did you manage to solve this?

Hi Jan,
thanks for responding. In the end, I had to install Umbraco on Azure, so it was more of an alternative way of proceeding, rather than a solution to this problem.

Kind regards, Sheridan
