    I have been going nuts trying to install Evoq Engage 9.3  on Azure. The install times out during the data phase of the database install. Running a p1v2 app and s3 db. So I tried to install an earlier version 9.0 and it installed but the site would not load.

    Anyone run into this? I have a ticket into support and it's been almost 3 weeks so I thought I would throw it out here. Could it be an azure issue or something with the install package?

      In my experience you need to really ramp up the database to install Evoq on Azure - it needs as many DTUs as it can throw at it. You can bring it back down to something sensible again once it's been installed.

      I believe the latest version of DNN Platform (9.3.2) has a fix for this specific issue, but I don't know if there's a matching new version of Evoq yet.

        I believe that the most recent version of Evoq is 9.3.0 (all SKUs).

          Hi,

          If this is a fresh install, I reccommend doing it on your local (or whatever your appropriate dev, staging, etc. is if you have one) environment first. Then FTP the the DNN site app to your app service on Azure and migrate the database to your Azure database.  

          Microsoft has a great free tool for moving the DB. You can get it at:https://www.microsoft.com...etails.aspx?id=53595

          Hope this helps.

            Thanks everyone - I tried ramping up the db but still no luck. I will try to install local and migrate.

              I tried one more time - scaled dtus to max. The install made it all the way to the last step, creating host credentials and then I had to click the retry button and it said installation complete but would not load the website. It says service unavailable. My first experience with azure and dnn but this shouldn't be that difficult.

                Sadly the Evoq 9.3.0 SQL Setup script uses excessive resources (This also applies to DNN Platform 9.3.1). The 9.3.2 release improved this a bit, however, there is no Evoq equivalent. Once 9.4.0 ships, this becomes exponentially better.

                As others have mentioned, the temporary workaround would be to do a local install and then use SSMS to push the DB out to Azure. Everything will work just fine even on a B1 or S0 Azure DB.

                  I have just installed DNN twice onto Azure on a frtee trial, with a seperate Azure SQL server/database, was quick and clean. Worked fine.

                  My issue is that Azure 'seems to' only allow DNN platform as a US located App Service not UK!
