Hi,

I am not an expert and need some help.

I had a DNN site on Windows server 2003 using SQL server 2005. Now we have moved to another server and have SQL Server 2008.

I copied complete web site on the new server and also the DNN database accross on to new server. I can access site but NOT able to login as "host" i.e. super user account.

Any idea how to resolve this issue.

Thanks & Regards

Sandeep
