I am new to Orchard 1.8 and have developed a website using Visual Studio Premium 2013 Version 12.0.21005.1 (with the .NET 4.5.51641 Framework) and I need to know how to Publish/Deploy an Orchard website from a local desktop development box to an in-house "production" machine that has Windows Server 21012 R2, and IIS 8.5.
The development version of the site (on my local machine) uses SQL Server 2012 SP1 as the database.
How do I Publish/Deploy to the in-house "production" machine that has: Windows Server 21012 R2, and IIS 8.5 and specify another "production" database (which will need the data from the development version transferred to it)?
I am also new to publishing/deploying using VS. I would like to use "File System" as the Publish method, if possible.
Any detailed steps/instructions on how to do this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
