Hi All,

I have got successfully installed DNN5.x on my notebook, added some localization modules and one additional skin, and now I'm trying to XCOPY this installation on my ASP.NET hosting:

1. I have got database backup successfully restored on my ASP.NET hosting;

2. I have got two connection strings in the DNN5.x root web.config edited to point to my ASP.NET hosting MS SQL server.

3. I have copied all the files on my ASP.NET hosting and I have created web application as I usually do for other ASP.NET apps, which work OK

DNN5.x app somehow doens't want to start on my ASP.NET hosting and it even tryng to browse back to my localhost when I'm starting it. there

Should it work? What am I missing? I could have just not properly XCOPY-ed local DNN5.x files?

Thank you.

Hi All,

I have found answer on my question here: www.dotnetnuke.com/Community/Forums/tabid/795/forumid/107/threadid/105609/scope/posts/Default.aspx (FAQ: Moving a DNN installation ) - I should have edited [HTTPAlias] column value in [PortalAlias] table - so to move local DNN5.x installation (with just one portal) to ASP.NET hosting site three simple tasks should be fulfilled:

1. Backup your local db and restore it on your ASP.NET hosting MS SQL Server;

2. Edit manually/run script on your ASP.NET hosting MS SQL Server to update [HttpAlias] column value in [PortalAlias] table to point to your DNN5.x site's root on ASP.NET Hosting

3. Edit two connection strings in DNN5.x web.config to point to your ASP.NET hosting MS SQL Server.

Additionally I have had to do the dollowing weird edit of web.config, which helped me to get my DNN5.x ASP.NET hosting site up&running:

4. Comment out   <identity impersonate="true" /> line in web.confing - the one located immediately after  </membership> element.

Without the last step my ASP.NET hosting site doesn't work and reports the following runtime error:

Server Error in '/wr' Application.
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.

Parser Error Message: This configuration section cannot be used at this path.  This happens when the site administrator has locked access to this section using <location allowOverride="false"> from an inherited configuration file.

Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3082; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3082

Everything is correct now? (My DNN5.x site is up&running on my ASP.NET hosting but I'm not sure how and why that <identity impersonate="true"/> line got into web.config - do you also have it?)

Thank you.
