Hi - I'm having an issue replicating my live system to my dev box.

I've followed all the instructions google can find me on the web but I think I'm missing something.

So far, I've backed up the db and restored to sqlserver express and been able to query it via a standalone dotnet app.

I've copied the code down and given NETWORK SERVICE full permissions.

I've used the connection string from the above app and updated the web.config of the site with it.

I've altered my host file and iis so the domain points to the local version.

After this I'm still getting the install wizard, which I understand usually indicates an issue with the db connection but the same settings work on the test system so I'm wondering if there's other factors involved?

Any help would be greatly appreciated,

thanks,

JT

make sure to use TCP/IP protocol for both, SQL server and client.
Make sure, Machine key didn't get altered, when install wizard showed up.
Don't forget to modify value of portal alias in PortalAlias table, if you are using a different domain name locally.
Check application pool settings whether it uses "Network Service" account instead of "App Pool Identity".

Like Sebatian stated, check the PortalAlias table. It'll have records for your production site, like this:

http://YourDomainName/

Change that to your DEV domain name.
