Dear Colleagues,

I have attempted to copy a perfectly working dnn9 (latest version) install from Server 1 to Server 2;

However I now am faced with the dreaded;

I have spent over 24 hours trying to figure this out, everything I can tell is correct in web.config, SQL services are running the way they should, Network Service has full permissions to the directory path. I am beginning to lose sleep over this as I have a deadline and can't migrate to the new server as nothing seems to work.

I have tried deleting / re-adding the Network Service mapping on the restored db but it fails to delete it with an error in reference to the user owning a role on the DB.

Please help me out. I'm at my wits end.

 

Thank you

Turn on Failed Request Tracing https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/iis/... it may give you a clue about where the request goes wrong.

Look in the database for the view vw_EventLog. Take a look at the last few entries (sort by LogCreateDate descending). Even though the request ended up as a 500 you may find that DNN was able to write a clue in there.

I mananaged to see through my flaw, the issue was due to using a named pipe! I had to use dynamic rule on the firewall to allow passthrough... Which I never did in the production server and DNN works somehow... on the new dev server it didnt. So I basically wasted a lot of time scratching my head and trying different things haha. That's life. Thanks for your reply Richard
