I’m getting the following error when trying to install Orchard. I’m using a new domain, not a subdomain.
The application could not be installed:
– Cannot create database
– Specified database already exists on the target service
This is the first application I’ve installed on the domain
This means that the database name you are providing already exists. Simply change the name of the database you are trying to create.
Hi,
I don’t see Orchard as a choice in Microsoft Web App Gallery! ???
Hello,
Microsoft Web App Gallery is something that changes often and may sometimes encounter problems. If you would like, you can open a ticket and we will certainly look into this for you.
I recently contracted with Arvixe for web hosting and a site name. Currently, I am using MS Web Matrix and Orchard to develop my site on my local machine. Will I be able to use the Publish function of Web Matrix to publish the Orchard site to Arvixe without doing the above steps?
You would be best served by contacting our support department with specific details. I would also suggest trying it outright, and going from there. If it works, great! If not, it is a good baseline for troubleshooting and solving the problem. Open a ticket at support.arvixe.com when you are ready.
Your Orchard demo page is broken.

Has been fixed. Sorry about that. Required the latest version of Orchard.
I can’t get the Orchard CMS to install, I get a failed checksum error. Anyone experience this as of late?
