Hello,

I have a DNN site setup and working on my localhost development machine.  I want to move the site to my Laptop for demonstration purposes.  Both machines are running Windows 7 64 bit and IIS 7.0.  

I have followed the standard instructions posted on numerous websites on moving DNN Sites.  That is, I've copied the DNN files to my laptop and have the site setup in IIS.  I detached the DNN database from my Dev machine's SQL Server and copied the database files to my laptop and Attached to my SQL Server instance on that machine.  Initially I ran into the SQL "orphaned user" issue, but I have since resolved that.

On my laptop I can enter the URL http://localhost/mysite and the website's content comes up WITHOUT any css formatting, skins, menu placement, and images of the website.  In the DNN database in the PortalAlias table, I have confirmed that the entry there is http://localhost/mysite  (the same as my main Dev machine).

I have also verified that the users and permissions for the website folder match those that are setup on my Dev machine.

Why doesn't any of the formatting, images, and skin information appear in my website?

Thank you for your help.  I have been trying to resolved this one for 3 days now.

Thank you.

Elgin

PROBLEM SOLVED! Yeah!   
      
While reading one of numerous posts, in God knows which forum, something prompted me to go back to the very beginning, all the way back.  That is, IIS Configuration. 
  
The laptop I am working with is a new Windows 7 Dell Laptop that has never had IIS activated before now.  Well, I followed Lee Sykes' videos on "How to install DNN to Windows 7."  Video 1 explains how to prepare the environment and turn on IIS 7 and it says that accepting the default settings turned on by Windows should be good enough.  BUT, in the case of this laptop at least, IT'S NOT.   
      
To be sure of this, I went back and turned off IIS, rebooted, and turned it back on, accepting the defaults turned on by Windows.  Under the setting Internet Information Services\World Wide Web Services\Application Development Features, nothing is turned on by default.  AT MINIMUM YOU NEED .NET Extensibility, ASP.NET, ISAPI Extensions, and ISAPI Filters turned on.  After turning these features on and rebooting, all DNN Sites that I was having a problem with before, now work.   
      
You will probably want to turn on Web Management Tools\IIS Management Console too, in order to administer your IIS Server.   
      
Thank God this nightmare is over.  Hope this helps someone else find their answer.
