Hello Everybody,
I've seen a few posts on this matters, but none of them were able to help me overcome my problem.
I've recently deployed a dotnetnuke system which is currently in production and serving users. What I'm trying to do now, is create an identical copy of that environment on my local computer, so I can develop and test things on it without interfering with the production environment.
The steps I've taken to do so are the following:
- Backup the MS SQL server and restore it on my local SQL Express server
- Zip the dotnetnuke site root, download it, and unzip it into a folder on my local machine
- add the new folder as a virtual directory within IIS
- edit the web.config file at that directory and modify the connection string for the new database
- edit the PortailAlias table on the database: delete the old alias and set the new one to localhost/dnnprod (as set in IIS)
After all this, when i try to enter the new DNN site on my computer, i get a error from the browser ("Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" at IE7, "The connection was interrupted" at Firefox)
This is what the connection attempts look like at the IIS logs:
