Hi Patrick,

WebMatrix allows publishing via FTP so yes it can go to Linux server. Have you considered trying out 10 free websites on http://windowsazure.com? WebMatrix is tightly integrated with Windows Azure and it could make your publishing really easy!

Would Web Matrix 2 let me build a PHP/MySql site that could actually run on a Linux server ?

How do you set connection strings for multiple environments? Adding a string to 'var conn_str' seems to support only one connection... is there a db config file that I can store multiple connection strings in and use the most appropriate version (dev, test, prod) based on my environment?

Hi Chami_B,

Please feel free to file an issue at Github and request a Mac and/or Linux version. We do have it on the roadmap, but prioritisation of this task depends on customer demand. If you file the issue, we can get feedback from all of our customers about the appropriate timing of this version. :)

Thanks!

Hi Jonathan,

You said that this release is windows-only and a mac driver is in the road map.

what are your plans? support essentially windows azure or creating a really portable package (at least linux, mac, windows)? or you still have not decided?

I'd like to use your package but not being locked to azure or windows hosting...

Hi Dragos!

Very glad to hear it's all working great. Would you be able to file an issue on Github for your feature request?

Hello. This is working great on 0.6, but is not compatible with Node 0.8. By any chance, will it be updated any time soon to work on it? We've got 0.8 on server and rollback is not quite an option..

Thanks a lot!

Hi Papy,

For now, given the feedback we are looking for is more about the design of the driver, we'd like people to use Github to report any issues they find. In the future, we'll define exactly where the support is, but for now given the very early preview nature, it's just the development team supporting it.

As for a release date, we'll have to say 'when it's done' for now. Unlike the PHP driver, where there were many established Database driver which had thereby set a pseudo-standard for Database APIs, we're right at the beginning of the curve of Node.JS's install numbers. Given this, we feel that it's important that we involve the comnmunity in helping us design the best API we can, and hence why we have such an early preview out.

Thanks!

Jonathan

Have you an idea about the MSDN/Technet forum which will related to this driver ( PHP or SQL Server Data Access or another one ) ?

Have you any idea about the official release date for the driver ?

You had a good idea to recall that the SQL Server Native Access Client is compulsory to be installed.

Thanks for these valuable informations
