I installed nopCommerce ver3.10 into Azure. For now there is no problem.

The test site address is as follows.

It also includes Japanese language pack for ver3.10 (http://www.digipub.biz/40Nop20Mvc/boards/forum/7/nopcommerce-language).

Ohtsu, was this a clean install or did you perform an upgrade from a previous version.

I'm trying to figure out how to upgrade from 2.80.  

Should I only upgrade to 3.00 since that is the current version that is available through the Azure portal or as long as I am at it should I go ahead and push 3.10 out as well?

I have been using azure web services for Digital Publishing Plugin "Dynamic Pdf."  But I didn't use any azure web service for the site mentioned above.

ps. I used the word "web service" as "Azure Cloud Service."

This is a clean install. I didn't upgrade from older versions.  I think that ver 3.10 has more advantages than older versions in managing multistores. For example in ver 3.10 each store owner can configure product prices, shipping rates, payment modules and so on.  I think that these functions are vitally important for managing multistores.

You had better build ver 3.10 from the source.   Run prepare.bat and deploy.bat and upload all the directories in "deployable" to your target Azure server.  And start to install ver 3.10 nopCommerce on Azure server.  It is very easy installation.

are you using azure virtual machine service or azure web service to host nopcommerce 3.1? I got azure web service to work on local emulator but for some reason couldn't get the server to deploy correctly to azure....

The test site mentioned above is running on "Azure Website" (not "Virtual Machine").  
In addition, I used the word "web service" as "Azure Cloud Service."
If you have some trouble by using Web Matrix, you had better use FTP tool.

[Important Points for Deploying nopCommerce 3.1 from the source]

1. Use Visual Studio 2012 and Build it from the source (Run Prepare.bat and Deploy.bat).

2. Before deploying the programs, make "SQL Database" for nopCommerce on Azure and check the connection string.

3. Upload all the programs under "deployable" to your target website on Azure (under "/site/wwwroot" directory) by FTP tools.

4. Browse your Azure website and start to install.

5. Select "Enter Raw Connection String (Advanced)" and input the connection string mentioned above (Of course you must modify {password} by your own password).

That's all.

I want to use SSL, cheapest monthly azure website standard plan is (~$75 / month)..thats why I am using the VM way..cheaper...the steps r similiar to what you listed...I do

1. setup VM (windows server 2012 datacenter), remote in, install IIS, install sql server express 2012
2. Use Visual Studio 2012 and Build it from the source (Run Prepare.bat and Deploy.bat).
3. Before deploying the programs, make "SQL Database" for nopCommerce on Azure and check the connection string.
4. zip up deployable, drag from local desktop to azure vm via remote desktop.unzip to wwwroot..
5. setup iis and give modify permission to the requires directories
6. copy settings.txt (with the correct azure connection string) and plugins.txt into azure vm nop.

[Pdf Document but Japanese "sorry"]

We published how to install nopCommerce into Windows Azure as an excerpted document of "Japanese Guidance for nopCommerce Ver3.10" (http://www.digipub.biz/40Nop20Mvc/boards/topic/166/how-to-install-nopcommerce-ver310-on-azurejapanese-nopcommerce310%E3%81%AEazure%E3%81%B8%E3%81%AE%E3%82%A4%E3%83%B3%E3%82%B9%E3%83%88%E3%83%BC%E3%83%AB%E6%96%B9%E6%B3%95#168). It explains both "How to install from Application Gallery of Azure" and "How to install nopCommerce after compiling the source code".

As far as the former is concerned, an error may occur as follows

https://www.nopcommerce.com/boards/t/25225/windows-azure-install-fails.aspx

The document also explains the steps to avoid the error.

It is described in Japanese but includes many images of Azure.
So we hope that you can guess the steps in your "locale" environment.


You can download the document from here (http://www.digipub-net.com/mdc/shared/Pdf/NopJpmanual_ver310_26_Excepted03_02.pdf).

A minor correction to the process, when you FTP deployable folder contents to Azure web site, please select the /site/wwwroot folder as the destination folder.

I mistakenly upload all files to the Azure web site root folder, and of course, didn't work.
