Can't locate database connection string

[mrpavlitzky]

Hi,

I just migrated from running Orchard from Nuget package to the full source code drop and I have a following 'issue'.
I can't locate the db connection string! I stored it in the Azure environment variables and just to see what's the actual source of it, I changed it to a wrong one, saved, reloaded the page and... the site still loads the contents properly. The connection string is not present in appsettings.json and the folder App_Data is missing from the solution. Any ideas where it might be stored?

Azure blob storage?

[mrpavlitzky]

Nope, it's never been configured to store connection string. I used only Azure environment variables.

I guess connection string is stored under App_Data\Sites\Default\appsettings.json

[mrpavlitzky]

Yes that used to be the case when I was running Orchard from the Nuget package, but this directory is absent now in the source code drop.

Have you specified such a configuration on the server ORCHARD_APP_DATA
Environment=ORCHARD_APP_DATA=/var/www/JZSoft/easyoc/App_Data

[mrpavlitzky]

Well, it kind of made it way back to my directory. I have no clue whatsoever what happened, but the next day the AppData was back in its place!
