Sitecore 8.1 Update 2 - Azure deploy fails

Hi, I made a post few days ago with regard to Sitecore upgrading. After upgrading our site, we have decided to move it to Azure. Well, I'm new in Azure deployment, so I followed Azure related documents from http://doc.sitecore.net.

Everything went well, until I tried to deploy the site to Azure. At certain point, I received the following exception:
Create package failed System.ApplicationException:xxxxxxxxxxxxxxStaging [S]
Create package failed ---> System.ApplicationException: Create package is failed ---> System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException:

I tried to find the solution on other blogs / community forum without any success.
Then, I checked Sitecore.Azure.dll and Sitecore.Kernel.dll and I realized, there are some changes in Sitecore.Configuration.Factory class ("ExpandIncludeFiles" was removed from Factory), so I have contacted with Sitecore support and waiting for a patch.

So if you host your solution in Azure, I suggest to wait for the patch.

Sitecore 8.1 upgrade from 7.2

In the following post, I would like to share my experiences with regard to Sitecore upgrading and highlight some points. We have a project which is running on Sitecore 7.2 update 4. (This project was originally developed on Sitecore 6.5, but we upgraded it a few months ago) We have decided to upgrade that project to 8.1.  Probably you know there are more ways to move a project to Sitecore 8. e.g: You can create a new Sitecore 8 instance and transfer your content into the new instance. But we wanted to try the in-place upgrade process when the process modifies the existing instance. Moreover, we were curious how we can move old DMS data to xDB.  Step 1: Upgrade to 7.5 (Initial release) If you are already on Sitecore 7.2 you can move your solution to 7.5. Probably this is the hardest and slowest part of the path. Note: Always read and follow the upgrade notes from Sitecore before you start.  Before you start 7.5 upgrade, you will need: 7.5 update package (in...

Create custom Sitecore Search Crawler

Hello, I would like to show an implementation of a custom crawler which prevents indexing items under specific paths. This is useful when you want to exclude a whole subtree from your index configurations. e.g: You have a multi-site structure which contains 3 sites. You want to implement search funcationlity on one of the sites (call site A) and visitors should be able to search in site B content, but content from site C should not be visible, and you dont want to break relevancy of the search result. The first step is create a class, call CustomCrawler.cs. This class should be derived from SitecoreItemCrawler class. Now, you can overwrite IsExcludedFromIndex method. If you are ready, you should change crawler in the search config. Add paths to ExcludeRoot node and seperate them by pipes. That's all. Now items are not indexed from the excluded paths, and you don't break the relevancy.
