Hey all,

I am trying to have a copy of the website I currntly building in order to put it on my laptop to work back at home,

so I've walked through like I do usual with ordinary other .NET projects I develop at my work (other than DNN technolgy open CMS), as follows:

 - I took a copy of the website and paste it in the C:\Inetpub\wwwroot   under IIS folder, and changed the initials in the webconfig file to connect to the SQL client of my laptop.

- regarding the DB, I took a back up from my PC and restore it into my laptop.

then I run the website, and things I think should goes smoothly, but the browser couldn't open the website and should a msg: IE can't display the webpage.

I searched about suc a thread but could't find a similar case, so how could I resolve this issue??

on the other hand as a try and error scenario, I kept the initilas at the webconfig at my laptop copy to point to the first original DB on other first PC, and I run the project, and it opened me the installation wizared with an error exception log thing... so what is the best practices here regarding making a copy of our DNN projects!?!

Thanks in Advance

Thanks Bro fo rthe hints,

but I did add a helloworld.html file and the IIS saw it,

secondly, in my DNN project, logging in as a host>> site sittings>> portal settings>> add new portal, I added the portal that I saw in my laptop, lets say that the first portal to run at the PC is : localhost:1340/dnn
and I added the one I saw when I run it at my laptop which is : localhost:1144/dnn

then I copied the project and paste it again at the C:\\intpub\wwwroot folder
and restored the DB again

and run it agian but it gave me the following err:

{{{ string sql = String.Concat("Update {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}PortalLocalization Set LoginTabId=NULL Where PortalId=", portalSettings.PortalId); }}}

okay, lets say on the other hand at the IIS I set the portal when I've added the website to 1340 and run the project

but still the same above err ?!!

Hi Khamios,

I run into the same problem too. I run DNN as localhost:81/dotnetnuke on my laptop. I deploy to production server as www.mysitename.com then got thhis error.

I'm curious to know whether you have found a solution for this. Please updade here if you have.
