Hello,
I must first admit that, I am very new to umbraco.

I have installed v3 of umbraco and after that installed starter kits developed by Warren.

I understood the concepts of document type templates and stylesheets.

However After installing starter kits when I click on preview button it does generated url like

localhost/1011.aspx?umbversion=XXXXXXXX

now here I really search for 1011.aspx and came to know that this hadnt generated.

Upon further investigation I came to know that it is coming from backend(sql-server).

if this is the case, could you please let me know, in case if website needs to be hosted on server, we need to trasfer all database related stuff also.

which url should end user access in order to view page.

Any help on this is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Suhas

Dirk

Hi,

Welcome to umbraco. You've learned already quite a few concepts of umbraco. Keep it up, you'll soon get addicted...

Preview is a bit different as when working with published content.
As long as a page of content is not yet published, it doesn't get a 'virtual' url attached to it. Yes, virtual, as it doesn't really exist. If you'd browse to that page (again, when published), it will be intercepted by a request handler which will take care of merging all elements that make up the page (that is - associated template, node content properties, any referenced macro, ...)

Does that make sense to you? If not, please ask more detailed questions!

If you wish to host a site on hosted server, you'd have two options:

- Either go the 'licensed' way: http://umbraco.org/products

- Manual process. If it's the first time you'd push something to the server, it be quite easy. Just create backup of db and folder structure. Restore the db on the hosted server, and copy all files to the server. After that, only thing left is to republish the entire site (Right click on the Content node and select item from context menu) to make sure the published xml and cache are updated correctly. Doing a delta install makes it bit more difficult, and at that point, consider using the first option.

Hope this helps.

Regards,
/Dirk

Thanks Dirk,
I think I understand most of things you explained.

I will try using manual approach first and then will go for 1st approach

I will let know in case of queries.

again, thanks a billion for your help.

Suhas
