ASP.NET: Moving an application to the net
I moved my site from my development computer to my hosted webspace on seekdotnet today. It involved:
- Moving all files from my computer to the web via ftp
- Making the directory where I put them an ASP.NET virtual directory
- Moving the database (SQL Server 2005 Express .mdf file) to the database server via the MDF attachment tool
- Creating the asp.net membership database on that database via the aspnet_regsql tool (as well described on 4GuysFromRolla)
- The tricky part: modifying the web.config file to use a customised provider for membership, profiles and roles. Failing one will lead to asp.net trying to use the default local SQL Server 2005 provider in the App_Data folder. (See MaximumASP.com article)
All in all, it was a quite smooth operation.
