I'm a volunteering web designer and a client has given me the details to ftp to upload the website i have created for them. For the hosting they only have SQL Server not MySQL. There account won't allow me to create a MySQL database, without upgrading(more money) and this is a volunteer position. How do i install WordPress with SQL Server?
It's a long step by step task:
At first you need to install the WordPress on SQL Server version of WordPress and then follow the steps on Installing WordPress on SQL Server. Also check Getting Started.

I am completely new with the umbraco CMS and one of my client want to make some changes on his umbraco CMS web site. So i have downloaded the umbraco CMS projects files and database from the server and i need to configure it on my local server. I am using windows 10 OS. I can install a fresh umbraco cms in the local server. But When i try to run the existing in local server, its asking me for install the fresh umbraco CMS.Can anyone help me on sort out this issue?
Note : I don't have changed the any configurations on the files. Just simply running the project with Microsoft WebMatrix app. Please help me with the database and other configuration settings also.
Aby help will be really appreciated...
It sounds like the Umbraco installation is assuming it is a new installation and then creates a new database for you.
You need to download the website files directly from the server and place those in a folder which can be served by a webserver on your local machine. Then you need to get a backup of the database on the server and restore this on a SQL server on your local machine.
When this is done, you need to make sure the connectionstring in the web.config of the site is set up correct to match where you have restored the database on your local SQL server. Search for umbracoDbDsn and make sure the server name, credentials and database name is correct.
When this is done, you should be able to start up the site and hopefully it will run just as it did on the server.
My company has a portal based on C# ASP.NET. I have to develop wordpress websites whose data is required to be driven from portal database i-e; MSSQL Server. There is no direct and simple solution to connect wordpress website with MSSQL. There is a project called Project Nami which can help in this regard but is there any other way to achieve this objective? Is there any other CMS that can work like Wordpress and can run with MSSQL Server?
Thank you.
Long story short: You can't. Try SQL CMS instead.
Wordpress is tightly coupled to MySQL.
It can't be done and no amount of wishing otherwise by you, your business, or your management will change that.
You can deploy Wordpress as part of a website though with a separate MySQL somewhere but I would typically consider a separate URL (blog.mywebsite.com) and hosting it elsewhere. And uploading articles into this WP.
If MSSQL is 100% required for your articles, then you can't use WP. And I'd ask why, because clearly the presentation can be done elsewhere in this case and WP is not needed.
Both answers above are incorrect. Of course you can connect php app, which is what wordpress is, to a mssql database. Microsoft has long ago provided the drivers for it. Google it and you will find drivers for linux or debian OS's. It all depends on what you want to do. You will have to write your own code to pull the data you want from your mssql database and load it to wordpress to display it on the wp site. But saying php cannot connect to mssql is incorrect. Any php app can connect and grab data from MSsql database.
I'm currently hosting the wordpress using the Azure IIS mysql for my blog and would like to move to the Amazon web services (AWS) windows instance.
Does anyone know how to migrate properly I have read plenty of sites but it seems to be more focused on linux
Regards,
Your Mysql is a cleardb instance. You must connect to it using MySQL Workbench and export data.
You can do the same with wordpress through wp-admin
i installed a word press blog in Microsoft azure using the image from new ->website >gallery
it was easy but now i want to take a backup of my .sql file of word press i cant see any phpadmin access and the database is automatically created when i used it install from gallery and also when i navigate to sql database in portal i cant find any databases and my website is running fine how is it so ?
how to access the database and download the backup ?
thanks for your time
I am not that familiar with WordPress, but my experience tells me that this would be your best a reliable choice to back up your WordPress database.
As for phpMyAdmin and other stuff - you can always connect to your Azure Website using FTP. You can do whatever you want with the content, once connected with the FTP client of your choice (understand - you can upload your version of phpmyadmin and have it there running for you).
You can always access MySQL database using the connection string provided on your website's dashboard in Azure management ("View connection strings"). Then you can use program like MySQL Workbench (or perhaps even phpMyAdmin on your local machine) to access the database.
Backing up from MySQL workbench is quick and easy, see e.g.Making a MySQL database backup with MySQL Workbench. Remember to also back up files.
i Have a Asp website that uses MySql database, i want to publish it on my own PC for testing ,
is that possible? and do i need to combine some references with it , or what? and do i need to modify the web.config file?
There are two pieces of software required to run you application.
You need a web server that's able to serve ASP pages. Either install the full IIS, or if it's only for your own testing you can go with IIS Express (included in e.g. WebMatrix).
You need to install a MySql server to run the database. If the MySql drivers are not included in the deploy package of the site, you will need to install those separately as well.
