    Moving umbracos database to another Server breaks current instance

    Yesterday i moved my Umbraco database to another server. If i now open the project - whatever which page/view - umbraco automatically starts the "install" wizard screen, but without really (re)installing it. the loading animation is spinng - endless.

    there is a error in the debugger too - but the issue is that the umbraco instance should not start the wizard. its a existing and working project.

    i checked the database connection and it's working too. The only difference this database server has compared to the previous one, here i have to pass a Port too. so the string is like

    connectionString="server=XX.XXX.XX.XX\SQLEXPRESS, 1987;database=UmbracoDB; user id=...
    

    enter image description here

    Do i need to change any value in a database table ? like the current IP

    Thanks in advance for your help. Best regards

    Hi Caglar

    If you try to connect to this connection string with MSSQL Management studio, is it working?

    We have to test connection string for sure.

    You don't need to change any tables in database.

    Thanks.

    Hi Caglar,

    I would recommend to try without whitespace, like that: connectionString="server=XX.XXX.XX.XX\SQLEXPRESS,1987;database=UmbracoDB; user id=...

    I hope it will help. Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Caglar, you are welcome.

    Today I struggled with a similar issue and I fixed my connection by creating a rule in Windows firewall for sql server port.

    This post describe all places where remote connection can be closed -

    i already set my custom Port (,1987), but i will give it a try. i already know that the ports of the server where the database is located are open. i will check again the port from the server which hosts the project. maybe this will fix it.

    thanks

    I found the problem. i moved my database from one server to another server by using the backup/restore task. but this procedure did not set the tables schema as its origin table schema. so it did not transfer primary keys, foreign keys..and so on ... this was the reason the umbraco instance did not find his "working database". i used another methode to copy the database, and now it's working.

    Anyway...Thank you for your efforts @Alex Skrypnyk

    Cheers !

    How did you end up moving the data so it worked for you? I'm having the same type of error.

    If you work with Visual Studio go to Tools>Sql Server> New data comparison

    But can't you just restore a .bak file?

    I just had the same error.

    It turned out I had forgotten to add the user account to the DB owner role on the restored DB.
