WebMatrix - Difficulty in deploying website

Question

Hello everyone,

 

I am having some trouble in deploying a website. I have used Microsoft WebMatrix to create the site. 

It is developed in asp.net c# webpages (Razor 3 syntax).

 

Whenever i am trying to deploy it using webmatrix publish option. I have the error below :

 

Unable to start publishing.

Web Deploy site definition is not accessible.

 

However, in my web.config, i have a series of connection string. When i comment the <connectionStrings>, the publish option work correctly.

 

In my index.cshtml page, i am looping through these connection string, so they are very important. 

string[] clients = {"test1", "test2", "test3"};
foreach (var client in clients) {

//Database connection

var db = Database.Open(client);

 

 My questions are :

 

1. Is there another way of ecternalising the connection string so that the publish option in webmatrix works?

 

2. Is there another way by which i can deploy the site? If Yes, how can i do it step by step.

 

I really hope you can help me in this situation. Thank you in advance.
