`Web Deploy` errors - databases can not be created

I am having trouble using Web Deploy. In particular:

  1. I'm not sure what username/password/serviceurl/site/application to use in the publish profile.

  2. I'm also confused about what I need to include in my connection strings.

I either get an error saying that one of my databases can not be created or this:

Error 1 Web deployment task failed.((12/3/2012 4:57:59 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer.)

(12/3/2012 4:57:59 PM) An error occurred when the request was processed on the remote computer. An error was encountered when processing operation 'Create Directory' on (the url) I/O error occurred.

I'm using the provided "Arvixe".

Solution

  • Ok so it turns out I had everything correct.

    The problem was that the server required me to create the databases manually.

    After that I could run my code to generate tables and populate them with data.

    The problem was getting the databases initially created.
