that's probably an issue with your database restore then - typically this is "orphaned" users i.e. sql server stores part of the user information in the "master" database and part in your database. If you restore your database to a different sql server then the information in the "master" is lost and the user is "orphaned" - see http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/li... for suggestions on how to fix (though most people simply delete and recreate the user as that ensures that the records in the "master" are in place)

You can check about the orphaned user if you look into the dnn database --> Security --> Users --> right click on the users Name and select advanced Settings.  Then check if the user have mapped to a Login Name.  If not run this as an  query on SQL Management Studio:

use <databaseName>

GO

EXEC EXEC sp_change_users_login 'Update_One', '<UserName>', '<LoginName>';

GO

To my knowledge, the database has never been restored since it was working at some point last year. I should probably confirm that to rule out all possibilities. Will check tomorrow.

Thanks

I checked the users and none of them are orphaned users. Everything seems to be fine there. I've tried everything. Can't see why this isn't working! Very frustrating.

short of looking at the application I don't have many other ideas - 1. I would double check that you've changed both connectionstrings in the web.config, 2. try in another browser such as firefox (sometimes they give better error messages such as if there is permanent redirect), 3. double check the portalalias is right and that the binding exists in IIS, and 4. perhaps look at the request in a http proxy such as fiddler to see what the request and http status is (e.g. is it a series of 302 redirects, or perhaps 403 file denied etc.)
