A while back I renamed the db for my site from StarterSite.sdf to ThisREV5.sdf.
Wihe I attempt to publish to Azure (this has worked flawlessly for a long time, I get a warning about "only absolute paths being supported"
I did a blanket replace of StarterSite.sdf to ThisREV5.sdf in Visual Studio for the entire project. No references were therefore modified.
The link contained in the log file is of no help.
I am publishing to Azure.
EDIT:
I have since reverted to StarterSite and had to create a new site on Azure, and copied my local site to a new folder.
Was able to publish my site once. But now I can no longer publish updates.
Copied my site to a new folder, created a new site on Azure, and I cannot publish. Same error message as below.
Is Entity Frame mucking things up?
