hi,

I'm trying to move a dnn website from production to development, because i have to do a lot of changes to this site.

what i already did:
- copy the database into my own db
- configured the usual stuff in iis
- changed the httpalias to localhost/facr in table dbo.portalalias
- all other aliases are removed
- changed the machinekey in web.config in a local one
- the permissions on the folders are correct
 

no I still have a insignificant error:

DotNetNuke Error

An error has occurred. An error has occurred.

an in the url you see: http://localhost/facr/Default.aspx?tabid=279&error=Object+reference+not+set+to+an+instance+of+an+object.&content=0

anybody?

Just wanted to reply that in my case I found the error in the EventLog database table where there seemed to be an issue with a skin not being there.
Having looked at Config\DotNetNuke.config I saw the default skin was MinimalExtropy which I had not installed.

I unpacked the skin to the Portals\_default\Skins\MinimalExtropy folder, did the same for the container, and my site is now up and running.

Thought it might fixed your problem.
