We have now released Bulldozer on GitHub. Bulldozer is the super-powerful big brother to Excavator. Because Bulldozer is now published on GitHub we will no longer be supporting Excavator. Thank you for all the support here!

Transfer csv data files using 3Essentials hosting #177

Closed ambermccoy closed 6 years ago

ambermccoy commented 7 years ago

We are using the 3Essentials web hosting, I downloaded the Excavator files and have all our data in the proper csv format. We keep running into a wall with one of the first steps and I keep getting an error that the network path is not found. I think it has something to do with the server, database, username and password fields but I can't seem to figure out which one is causing the problems and what we need to put in those fields. Thanks in advance!

It's possible that 3Essentials needs additional configuration to allow Excavator to connect to the database. I'd suggest copying the RockContext section of your web.ConnectionStrings.config file (from your Rock webserver), then paste that into the same section of Excavator.exe.config. Then you don't need to configure the connection from inside Excavator, and it should go through.

Thanks. I was able to fix the problem back in June a day or two after I posted this. I thought I closed this ticket already. I had to use a RDC to access the 3Essentials Server then copied the files to there. Then used the local host as the server and used the other credentials they sent to us earlier. Thanks again!
