Greetings Gurus,

I'm trying to move a DNN installation to a virgin server (never installed DNN on it and is pretty clean).  The Server is running SQL 2005 and thanks to the FAQ: Moving a DNN installation  I was able to get a lot of it working.   However, none of the modules are loading (http://estest.saem.org).  It's probably a newbie mistake, but could really use some help.

Many thanks in advance.

David.

What steps have you performed? Can you provide any information on the error from the Event Viewer?

Also, what version of DNN are you using? Make sure you updated the connection string  in the config file in both places with the information for the new database if you are using 4.x.

Thanks for replying...  Here are answers to your questions

1. The previous owner has zipped up the files and the database.

2.  I restored the database onto my SQL Server 2005

3.  I unzipped the files into a directory and setup IIS 6.0 on my Win2003 server

4.  Modified the connectionStrings area to point to my server (as best I could figure out.

Version of DNN is 4.3.4

I would make sure you can connect to the database with the uid and password you are supplying in the web.config. If that is correct, make sure you have the connectionstring correct for SQL Server 2005 in connectionstrings and appsettings. I usually remove the Connection String for SQL Server 2005 Express.

Are all of the modules you're having problems with HTML modules?
