I know Umbraco is supposed to be simple and hassle free, but althought I configured a database use with this script (because the SQL Management Studio doesn’t run …..):


CREATE DATABASE shop_db COLLATE SQL_Latin1_General_CP1_CI_AS;
CREATE LOGIN shop_u WITH PASSWORD = 'Password';
CREATE USER shop_u FOR LOGIN shop_u;
USE shop_db;
GRANT ALL ON shop_db To shop_u;


It doesn’t accept it as login credential in the umbraco installer. Propably the GUis does a bit more, than there is documents in the Reference manual….

But there is the nice link ‘instructions’ pointing to Microsoft SQLite equivalent: SQL Server 4 CE:

But somehow no one cared to fill it with content

But hen, hey, its beta. So you can’t blame them. SO I just google and search for the download:

And I land on a bing-ternal search result page and whenever I click the ‘Download details:….’ …. it just gives the same page again.

This little image story sums up pretty well, what I experience when I work with microsoft technologies.
