Dnn 7.4.1 Migration from local visual studio to a web sites provider

Please can someone Check my procedure for migration

1 - start from a local visual studio managing a dnn 7.4.1 site

2 - export the exact directory structure to a web provider (where I used to work 7.0.9), number of files and sizes checked

3 - export via a backup file which is ok on the provider server

3 - update the web.config with the connection string with windows acces and modify the machine validation keys

Or I missed something

you also need to adopt the entries in PortalAlias table (in the database) to meet the new domain name.

Hello Sebastian

When I run My Site/DNN_741/default.aspx I get this error within web.config

Line 124:  <system.web>
Line 125:    <!-- Valitation decryption key -->
Line 126:    <machineKey validationKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" decryptionKey="AutoGenerate,IsolateApps" validation="SHA1" />
Line 127:    <!-- set code access security trust level - this is generally set in the machine.config
Line 128:    <trust level="Medium" originUrl=".*" />

Completed with

It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. (F:\Inetpub\vhosts\my site\httpdocs\dnn_741\web.config line 149)
