Hello

I made 2 websites on my pc as a localhost/DNN7 and one localhost/DNNPETROLINA. We have a server that has a dnn website already online and i want to move the two websites from localhost of my pc to the server.

Now there are a couple of issues here. 

First i copy all the files to the server, including the database, give all permissions, change the connection strings, i create a new website in iis and asign app pool vs4 classic/integrated(tried both). And when i try to browse the website i get this error:

http://localhost/Default.aspx?error=An%20unexpected%20error%20has%20occurred&content=0

From eventlogs this is the complete error:

Now the strange thing is, if i copy the new websites inside the folder of the existing one that works online and merge their files, and keep the assigned database to the new one not the online db, the website works with no errors. (WE get a few errors on the aliases but we can fix those, but the werbiste loads anyway)

I also moved the working website to a 2nd server as localhost to keep it as a test server, and it works ok in localhost. And i copy the new websites again ontop of the working website and it works on the second server aswell. 

So the obvious thing is that the working website has something that the new websites dont have. An option in database/Website that i didnt enable or made.

Anyone knows what i miss here? 

Yes i tried that. I tried leaving only localhost, or localhost/something, tried having many aliases, tried changing primary alias. But all ends up with the same error. But the question arrise again. Why it works when i merge the files with the working websites? It still reads the new database, not the working one so the aliases are the same

Can anyone help? I can provide a teamviewer connection for someone who has a clue and check it out.
