i am trying to create test copy of DNN live site on local machine but only home page of site is showing if we click on any menu item result in error "Page Not Found" i am following this artical for creating test copy,

 http://www.ifinity.com.au/2012/09/05/Creating_a_test_copy_of_your_DotNetNuke_website

 after taking backup from ftp of live site i have files like,

Folders:

anon_ftp

cgi-bin

error_docs

httpdocs

httpsdocs

private

site1

static

subdomain

value_scripts

web_user

Files:

.Security

As i am new to DNN I have found that  main site is in "httpdocs" folder that are,

App_browser , App_code , App_data , desktopmodule, install , portals , provider default page Dnn icon web config.

i tried to host files under "httpdocs"  which i thought as main site and restore its database.

by following steps from link little change made in database "PortalAlias" so that it call alias that i used.

Now when i run hosted test site it just open home page and when i click on menu item it gives error "404.0 Not Found"

I review artical once again and put in all files as i get from ftp as i mentioned earlier. After that i configure it and also enable site "Directory Browsing" and also made httpdocs folder virtual directory.

 Now calling link just showing me files on web browser and when i click httpdocs folder it gives error,

" It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS."

I wriiten in detail as i have been working on it more then two weeks but test site is not working fine.

 Hopes for your positive response

 Thanks
