Deploy Orchard to Windows Azure Web Sites

Long ago want to do a personal site, mainly used to record their lives, I like photography, baking ... And then just into the pit, these can be put on the site to display, perhaps also to bring their own income. Then there's a trial of azure on hand, and then the power comes up. The following are the deployment steps.

I. Create a Web sites,sql Database and download the Orchard source code

These steps are super simple no more hands-on teaching, it is said that the July Web site charging standards will come out. See if you can afford it.

Yesterday saw 1.8.1 RC came out .... The version is updated really fast. The source code is as follows:

https://orchard.codeplex.com/downloads/get/820576

Two. Deploying with Visual Studio

1. Open the Orchard.sln project file in the extracted src directory using vs (I use vs Express for Web)

2. On the Web Site DASHBOARD page, click Download the Publish profile to download the release file

3. In Solution Explorer Right-click orchard.web Select Publish

4. Click Import in the pop-up screen to select the deployment file you just downloaded

5. Then direct point publish release can, because I set up a personal site, performance, high availability and so on demand, so do not have to do any configuration ...

6. Post it. The initial setup interface appears when you browse the site. If you want to use a database instance alone, click Show Connection strings on the DASHBOARD page of the SQL database that we just created, and copy the ASP. NET connection string directly ( Note there is a property to enter the password). and stick it in the orchard.

The deployment was successful, and it was a great toss-up.
