Hi All

Following problem: I try to move my website away from my ISP to my server at home.

I got all approbiate files: web folder include db, but the settings in the web.conf file are totaly different.

Question: What would be the best steps to do it?

(1) Create new folder with permission for NETWORK SERVICES and IIS_WSG.
(2) Copy all from your ISP to this folder.
(3) Look insite web.conf to get the name of the database and login credentials
(4) Create empty database in MS SQL 2008 and restore database with option "Overwrite the existing database"
(5) ..... ??????? .....

Because if I try know to access the the site I get error 500.
I tried to change some kind of settings but it is still not working after 3 hours I think it's time to ask other people.

That's it so far :-(

Any Idea would be appreciated :-))))

Thanks

Michael

Well, the following step is not possible, because the site is not existing anymore:
prior to moving, add the future domain address as additional portal alias in Host portals.

The problem is that the web.config file is different :-)
I am assuming that the version of DNN is different too.

Is their not a possibility to link the content database to an new installation :-)
The new installation is working fine...

you need to move all files INCLUDING web.config, which you may edit manually, to adopt both database connection strings to new server and account name.
