In this tutorial we'll learn Step By Step how to Deploy an ASP.NET MVC 4 Application on a FREE Web Hosting.
We'll deploy the following Asp.Net MVC Application to the FREE HOSTING Somee.com host:
Browse to Somee.com :
Select the FREE Hosting Package :
You register and set the LOGIN info :
Type the SUBDOMAIN of your Web Site :
And CREATE the site :
Now go to the File Manager, to UPLOAD your MVC site :
Open your file system where your MVC project is stored, and ZIP the entire MVC Web Site :
Now we must set the DATABASE. Create a LOGIN :
Create a DATABASE :
Take a look at the Database's settings :
Now, we'll need to CUT & PASTE the entire web site to the UP folder :
Now, you can browse to your web site. Of course, it will be an error, because the database connection at the web.config file is still pointing at your machine's sql server :
So let's change the connection string :
Where's the new connection string? At the SQL database properties view :
COPY the connection string, and open the web.config file :
There, find the "Provider Connection String" key :
And PASTE the new connection BETWEEN the " " " :
That's not all. We'll keep getting an error because the database is empty. So let's create the tables using the automatically created sql SCRIPTS from the SQL Server Manager :
First, copy ONLY THE TABLES , and after that, copy the FOREIGN KEYS alter scripts :
Go to "New SQL Query" :
And PASTE the scripts , ONE BY ONE (the alternative is, of course, running a batch file):
After you created all the tables, run ONE BY ONE the KEYS scripts .
Finally, let's see how to update a single file at the site .
Just DOWNLOAD the file, clicking the download icon at the right, edit the file, and UPLOAD it again, taking care that the "Overwrite existing files" option is on:
And that's all. Enter some data, and browse to your site:
Happy programming.....
