This is a follow-up issue regarding Publishing/Deploying Orchard CMS 1.8 with Visual Studio 2013
I am new to Orchard 1.8 and have developed a website using Visual Studio Premium 2013 Version 12.0.21005.1 (with the .NET 4.5.51641 Framework) and I need to know how to Publish/Deploy an Orchard website from a local desktop development box to an in-house "production" machine that has Windows Server 21012 R2, and IIS 8.5.
The development version of the site (on my local machine) uses SQL Server 2012 SP1 as the database.
I was able to deploy once and get beyond the issue sited above.
There were some changes to the site on the Dev box. When I try to publish the site, it's not transferring the complete set of site folder to the production server. There is only the following.
Folder tree for new publish:
| - Global.asax
| - Local_A1_Website_Publish_DirList.txt
| - Refresh.html
| - Web.config
+_ bin
+_ Config
+_ Proccess
The original was
Folder tree for the original publish:
| - Global.asax
| - Refresh.html
| - Web.config
+_ App_Data
+_ bin
+_ Config
+_ Core
+_ Media
+_ Modules
+_ Proccess
+_ Themes
Don't know what it's different from the first publish. Can I just copy this from the dev box to the production server. If not how do I get a complete set of the folder structure to be published?
Thanks in advance.
If it will help the .pubxml file is
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
