I thank you all for your patience and special thanks to imagemaker.  Your help with tell me to look in the sql manager and make sure the server itself would accept the mix auth worked and I successfully installed DNN 7 times now ;)

Now on to my next task.  As most of you probably know by now by my annoying post over and over, my company has a DNN test site that was set up by someone else that I took over for with no knowledge and no documentation.  It is set up as a child portal which makes setting up internal links especially hard.  I want to move it to a production server as the parent and only portal.  I tried to back up the DB and it cause many problems due to being a child portal.  How do I occomplish this task of moving a child portal to a production server and make it a parent portal without losing any of the data saved?

assuming you already did the necessary IIS setup for the new address:

  • backup child database and restore on target server database (if sql server is different)
  • add parent portal address as portal alias in host:: portals at the bottom of the portal's settings
  • access your portal using the new address

From what it looks like, the person I took over the job for did a real wierd number on this project.  This is what I got so far. 

1) When I tried to back up the child DB I find out that the child portal is using all the files as the parent does (IE web.config etc...)  All of the stuff like containers are seperated, but not the main stuff.  However it has its own default.aspx and skins.  How would I go about seperating the DB (that is if he truely used the parent DB for the child) and why would it be using all the files from the main portal?

2) I have all the files (the ones I think are the ones needed) copied over to its own dir, but tracking down the DB is the tough one.  When I used the DB from the parent one I got all kinds of trouble.

3) I assume the address would be the localhost or IP\DNN (DNN for the Virtual Drive) and the alias would be www.DNN.com (again the DNN would be the name of the site we use.). Do I have that correct?

4) IIS is ready to go as well as SQL Express advance.

  1. to separate two portals from one installation into two installations just duplicate folder and the database and delete the unnecessary portal in each instance, i.e. parent in first and child in the other.
  2. see 1
  3. web site address in site settings in IIS is IP and domain as host header, in DNN only associate domain name as portal alias, no localhost anymore, no virtual directory
  4. great

I am still unsure, why you want to separate both portals into separate installations. DNN is built to host multiple portals in the same installations, they are automatically separated using the portal aliases, i.e. having two sites www.first.com and www.second.com, setup IIS to point both to your web, where DNN is installed, having one portal assigned www.first.com as alias and the other www.second.com. Only child portals use an additional folder with a redirection default.aspx inside.

OK I have tried backing up the DB and tring to move it without seperating the portals and I get this:

When I looked at the DB I didnt even see parent or child portal even mentioned when I opened it via the Studio manager.
