It was for Plesk, which I was using, but plenty of what he describes would (I assume) need to happen for other platforms too, such as the permissions settings on particular folders.
I also needed to convert the db from SQL CE to MySQL for the hosting - I used an online tool for that and I was quite surprised when it really worked.
I hope this helps, a lot of it was fumbling for me. If you do find a better resource, do point me in the right direction!
This video by Paul Seal, another umbraco developer who's actually quite active in this forum, did it for me ... here's a video where he shows you step by step how to publish and then deploy the site using an umbraco site as his specific example:
I highly recommend you check out his blog and youtube channel ... lots of good Umbraco information.
I also had to convert my database from SQL CE to SQL ... took me a while to find out how to do it, but it's relatively simple and you can do it right inside of Visual Studio too. I can share this method with you if you need it too.
I tried to convert from SQL CE to MS SQL, but I didn't have any succes with it, so I ended up making a whole new project, where I used the MS SQL database from start.
It actually turned out, that it made it much easier to publish my project. I just went into Build -> Publish Project Name -> Typed in the connection settings from my hosting provider, and filled the Destination Connection String (using the wizard in Visual Studio). Bang, and it worked like a charm !
So from now on, I'm definitely going to use MS SQL on future projects.
Btw it took me 2 hours making a new project, based on the old one. Reused the views, and copy pasted a lot.
Guide to publishing / deploying umbraco site
Hi All :)
I have created a local umbraco site with Visual Studio, and now I am having some challenges publishing / deploying the site.
The local solution is build on a CE SQL, and I have a domain at Unoeuro.com with a MS SQL database.
Have any of you guys found a good simple Guide?
I guess it's not just a few clicks to deploy.
I found a lot of other posts regarding the same problem, but I haven't been able to find a post with a good up-to-date solution.
Thanks :)
Hi there,
I really struggled deploying my first umbraco site and spent a long old time googling. This guide, elsewhere in the forum helped me the most though.

Hi Anders,
This video by Paul Seal, another umbraco developer who's actually quite active in this forum, did it for me ... here's a video where he shows you step by step how to publish and then deploy the site using an umbraco site as his specific example:

I've just had a good read of your post about converting the DB! Thanks for the tip off - I'll subscribe to Paul's channel. #h5yr

Hi Emma and Brett
Thank you for answering my question.
