<p>Orchard can run on AppHarbor, but there are a couple of kinks.
Orchard uses local storage for storing certain content (images etc)
that you upload. Websites on AppHarbor do not currently have
persistent storage and should be used like a readonly website
(writing to the directory is actually allowed, but it'll be deleted
on subsequent deployments.</p>
<p>It also writes the setup information to the /App_Data folder, so
make sure you set up the website locally and commit the necessary
setup files to you repository - otherwise you'll have to set it up
each time you deploy.</p>
<p>Also make sure you go for the "Precompiled module" or "Reference
module" deployment types as described here: <a href=
"http://orchardproject.net/docs/Orchard-module-loader-and-dynamic-compilation.ashx">
http://orchardproject.net/docs/Orchard-module-loader-and-dynamic-co...</a>
. That may actually already be the way your Orchard is set up, but
I've seen it set up differently where Orchard wanted to dynamically
compile everything.</p>
<p>Good luck with it :-)</p>
<p>Best regards,<br>
