WebDeploy
ℹ Note WebDeploy is the de facto standard deployment-method supported by Microsoft for ASP.NET sites. We recommend reading about WebDeploy in general to become familar with the basic concepts. The information provided in this section is only meant as an overview how WebDeploy works specific to Chainbox Hosting environment and some "rules of thumb". |
With the WebDeploy method a deploy will start a build-job on one of our buildrunner-servers. It will compile the solution and package it using the Package-target in MSBuild. After successfull build, the package will be deployed to the server and replace existing content on the server.
Once you click deploy a deployment-job will be started/put on queue. When the job is finished you will receive an email with the result of the deployment.
Rules of thumb:
Only files included in the project is deployed to server
Don't commit DLL's or any other files generated during compile in GIT. Files in App_Data, resources, and media should typically not be included. They should be uploaded via FTP.
Don't include Umbraco connectionstring, license files etc.
Once you click deploy and get a success response, they deployment-process is triggered but not finished. Only when you get an email the deployment is finished.
To debug problems with deployment or try to see the output you can right-click on the project in Visual Studio and click Publish. Read more here https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465337%28v=vs.110%29.aspx
Troubleshooting/FAQ
Q: My files are not deployed even though they are included in GIT:
This is typically because the files have not been included in the Project-file (csproj).
Q: My module does not work. It works locally:
The prefered way to install Umbraco moduels is via NuGet. Not all modules are available that way. See our FAQ for further instructions in that case.
