Hi!

DotNetNuke version 4.8.4. Problem when moving location of the site. We normally have all development sites on a windows server and each development site is its own web site, utlizing host headers to direct the traffic to the correct site on the server. For instance we have mysite.dnn.mydomain.se. The alias on this install is mysite.dnn.mydomain.se.

Now I wanted to move this particular site to my XP development machine in order to do som module development on that site. I decided to place it under localhost/mysite_test on my XP machine.

After installing a clean DNN installation to that location a copied all of the content from the original folder on the development server to to directory on my XP machine. I connected it to the original database on the development server and changed to portal alias to localhost/mysite_test.

The site started fine and the skin displayed all elements and images fine. However, all links from HTML/Text are broken. For instance, an image ref that on the original development server installation pointed to /images/myimage.jpg and the actual link is generated as http://mysite.dnn.mydomain.se/images/myimage.jpg.

On the XPdevelpment machine, the link in the database is of course still the same /images/myimage.jpg but the actual link is http://localhost/images/myimage.jpg but I would expect it to be http://localhost/mysite_test/images/myimage.jpg.

The poral alias is mysite.dnn.mydomain.se on the development server and the field Relative path under Host settings is empty.

The portal alias is localhost/mysite_test on the development machine and the field Relative path under Host settings is /mysite_test

Can somebody please shed some light on this for me.
