I'm trying to migrate a DNN installation from one machine to another but when I run DNN on destination machine, it always goes to installation screen.

I tried to restore the database on destination machine using .bak file I got from source pc but then the application can't run at all.

Please help

Is the URL still the same?  On developement Computer you have most http://localhost and you would have on the production server a correct domain e.g. http://www.domain.com if this what you want to have, so you have modifiy the PortalAlias table.

You are right. The application runs as localhost:81/dotnetnuke on the source machine. On destination machine i run it as localhost/dotnetnuke. So I added a portal alias as localhost/dotnetnuke.

The weird thing is I needed to configure the application to run as localhost:81/dotnetnuke on the destination machine for the first time to have localhost/dotnetnuke run successfully afterwards.

May I have another question? Since I do not know what is happening in the backend when DNN runs, I would need to compare the whole Dev database cs Production database to migrate the changes. Is there any other way to do this apart from Red Gate SQL Compare and Red Gate SQL Datra Compare (which isn't cheap) ?

Thank you

there are also other sql comparison tools, like http://www.sqldelta.com/ which seems to be cheaper

 To be run it on a other port on the new maschine, you have also to configure the IIS to use the port.
