I have a working 4.93 install running on 2003/Sql Express.  I am outgrowing the server and need to move the installation to a new server.

x64 2008 with SQL 2008 (64 as well).

I detached the database and copied to the new server...I copied the site folder to the new server...I set up the site in IIS7...I granted Network Service full control of site folder.

I created the SQL user (owner) in 2008 SQL and test connectivity with ODBC...works fine.

Because I don't want to interfer with my public site, I added the portal aliases to the host file on the new server so it would not see the public ip address and fired it up.

I am getting a getportalaliasbyportalID does not exist error.   I have tried removing the database and allowing the system to reinstall/recreate a database...which it did but now I get an unhandled error has occurred.  (object reference not set to an instance....etc)

I have tried both classic and intergrated in IIS7...

I need to get this site moved over...anyone have any ideas?

Be sure that you changed both connection string values in the web.config.

Mitch,

Appreciate the response but that is the very first thing I did...I also attached the database and tested the connection strings for access via ODBC...so I know the database side is working fine with the proper credentials.

I keep getting the getportalaliasbyportalid error which would tend to indicate a database access issue but that is not the case.  I suspect it is something in IIS7 or some security setting that is screwed up.  I have 5.1 install on this same server which is working fine...but I cannot get this 4.9.3 portal up.

I have given Network Service full access to the folder but I don't know if there are other things I have to do inside IIS 7 or grant other rights. 

 

Thanks

Found it...

You have to check Enable 32 bit application in the Advanced settings of the application pool...
