Install on server

I developed a site locally.

I then backed up the database and restored it on my server. Now if I try to load the site locally updating the connection string to connect to the remote database it doesn't load like it should.

It thinks it is a new install. It takes me to the Install screen. The same happens if I try to go to the site on the server.

Is there something I can update in the database so it doesn't do this and actually loads the site?

Thank you.

RE:Install on server

Hi,

Could you please confirm that you have followed our documentation on how to deploy your web site to live server?

http://devnet.kentico.com/docs/devguide/deployment_to_the_live_server.htm

Could you please also confirm that you have copied all of the necessary files from your development project folder?

Best Regards,

RE:Install on server

I had to follow the alternative approach since I wasn't able to install Kentico on the server.

I took a backup of my local database and restored it on the server.

I then updated the connection string on my local web.confg to connect to the remote server database.

Now, when I browse to the site, locally, it brings me to the installation screen. I don't understand why this is happening since it is the same database, there should be no difference as far as the website is concerned.

Do you have any ideas?

Thank you.
