I have created a website on azure running Orchard CMS using a SQL Compact

  • 0

I have created a website on azure running Orchard CMS using a SQL Compact database. Seems to be working fine. However, I just want to use this as a testing ground for modules that I need to online / in the cloud. And being a fairly useless developer, I have already broken it. On my local machine, or on IIS, I just cry a little, delete the App_Data folder, and carry on. All good.

So my question is, is there a way of deleting this folder on Azure? Or doing something similar? I really have no idea how Azure works, first time using it. The App_Data folder is where the Sql-Server-CE file is stored.

Any help or tips greatly appreciated.

    From the context of your question I assume you are working with Windows Azure WebSites and you have created Orchard from the gallery.

    If so, then all you need to do is login with FTP and delete the app_data folder again. You can create credentials for login here:

    Azure WebSites credentials

    Note that before you have credentials the link will be “Create deployment credentials”

    And you can find the FTP hostname here:

    Azure websites ftp host

    You can use any FTP client to connect to the FTP.

    You can also edit your site with WebMatrix.

    Here is a great explanation of the Deployment Credentials.
