I don't know any reason off the the top of my head, unless your DB is going over the SQL Express size limit (2 GB I think)? Sounds pretty large for an umbraco install though. Did you try checking the logs when it happens?
Thanks Tom, at the moment I am trying to get re-connected to the database and then I will have a look at the Umbraco logs.
Last time nothing was reported in the logs.
The database is there one minute and gone the next.
This is a very small site, so I very much doubt it is the database size.
I wondered if it could be something to do with the IIS6 as everything else I have hosted is on IIS 7+ and I have not seen this problem, but have hads it once before with a IIS6 server.
I can't think that IIS would have anything to do with the DB getting detached. When you say detached, it's completely gone from the SQL Console and you just right-click and Attach to get it back? I would see if you can find any logs from SQL Server that might explain why it's detaching also...
SQl Server 2005 Express database Detaching
I have a website running 4.5.2, upgraded from 4.0.3, if I rember correctly.
Recently (over the past month) the database has become detached a couple of times.
Any one know of a reason for this (other sites with the same host and using the same SQL Server have not seen this issue).
The site is running on IIS6.
Many thanks.
TT
