umbraco deployment procedure

Question

I am trying to deploy umbraco website. The website runs ok locally, now when I published the website and uploaded via ftp client, there is internal error when I am trying to access the website. My question is, since I was using SQL CE database locally, will I be still able to use that DB online or I'll have to use sql server database? Furthermore, is there any special method to deploy umbraco application? Thanks for reading, Laziale

Answer 1

If u have an windows azure account load it in to azure it works perfectly transfer your file through FTP . Install umbraco from azure as apps which azure is providing it works perfectly . I am also using umbraco on azure

You can use SQLCE on line, personally I wouldn't recommend it unless it is a very small DB, and the site gets little traffic; SQL Express is also free and a lot more powerful - but to your question, yes, SQLCE should work.

Perhaps let us see your connection string and the specifics of the error you are getting.
