Hi,

    I have the seguent problem:

I have a portal on beta test that it's already published. I need to extend it with 2 custom modules (DNN 4.5.3 - Asp.Net 2.0). I have copied on my local machine the project folder. I have created a virtual directory on iis (5.1) and configured it too. I set the web config (it is the copy of the published site) changing the connectionStrings tags because the db is on the server and not in local.

Then i have restarted iis and i have opened the localhost address site. it has been opened at first attempt but when i try to signin from localhost, it's say Login Failesd. Then i've tried on the publish site and it has logged me in, using the same user and password.

in the log viewer of dnn admin tab there is only a row say login filed from 127.0.0.1
I've tried the same procedure in another site with the same configuration (beta published on server and in local the develope portal with db shared for the 2 portals) and it works. The log viewer only say i logged in from 127.0.0.1.

I don't understand where is the problem:
I have searched in web config for "local" but the respons is no search results.
Access to db is ok cause i can open the site as localhost/mysitesname (I have created the alias before start deploy on my pc).

I am honest, I am without ideas and I do not know like resolving the problem!

Help me, please.

Thanks

Ellis

Hi,

    The aliases was correct. Instead the machinekey was different. I change it and, after a transictional error, it works well.

Thank you so much

p.s.: I do this process (of copy project from production, or beta, to my pc) many times but i've never had this problem of different machine key before. The only difference between this time and the others, is the dnn version that i update, for this project, to the last (4.5.3) before make the "local copy".

Thank you

Ellis
