    uploading website questions.

    Hey guys!

    SO! I'm still a beginner when it comes to Umbraco, but I'm really liking it, and I've been making a few websites here and there. Now I'm making one for a family member, which will be the first one to uploaded online!

    Here comes my questions:

    • I assume, once I upload the website, they can edit the website contents, for example text fields. Am I correct?

    • How exactly, do I go around to uploading my local DB, to Uno Euro (which is already paid for and everything), which is being used for Umbraco?

    I know the second question is more of a general one, but I thought I'd still ask :)

    Hope you can help a little student out! cheers!

    Hi Willi

    Welcome to Umbraco community, great questions!

    1) Yes, all fields that you specified will be editable for admin users

    2) There are 2 ways for handling database, usual sql server and sql server compact edition. First way is better for performance, but for deploying second is easier.

    You can even convert from sqlce database to sql, read more - https://our.umbraco.org/forum/umbraco-7/using-umbraco-7/53818-Convert-Umbraco-SQL-CE-database-to-SQL-Express

    The main question is what database did you use locall?

    Share connections string please.

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Hi Alex,

    thanks for the answers!

    well, I haven't started the website just yet, as I was wondering about these, should've made that clearer, so I don't have the connection string right now.

    I'll get to it as soon as I'm home in about an hour or so, and I'll post it here asap.

    Anything I'm supposed to watch out for though?

    sorry for the double post. Here's my connection string, included everything, just in case! Also, it's a normal Microsoft Sql server with my local database I use for learning projects.

    <connectionStrings>
        <remove name="umbracoDbDSN" />
        <add name="umbracoDbDSN" connectionString="Server=VIDB8QFH12;Database=dbKulturselskabet;Integrated Security=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
        <!-- Important: If you're upgrading Umbraco, do not clear the connection string / provider name during your web.config merge. -->
    </connectionStrings>
    

    I apologize for the incredibly late response, didn't have a chance until now.

    Cheers!

    Hi Willi

    Great, then you have to make a backup before going to live, restore it in the live environment and change the connection string to live database.

    Hope it will help you.

    Thanks,

    Alex
