I am in the process of setting up a Dev environment for my website. 

I use crystal tech for hosting my servers.  I had them make a copy of my files and database on a new server.

My current issue is that I cannot access my host settings... admin works fine.  All logins and calls to the database work.

I think the issue is that the redirects on the host settings were copied to the new server and are causing the problem. 

Hence I have two redirects set up that point to two different IP addresses.

The first step that I would like to try would be to remove the redirect from the dev environment.... but I can't get to the host acct to do so.

Is there any alt. way to remove this redirect?? I,e.  What table is it recoreded in the dnn database.  I have access to my database via sql server but cannot seem to locate the table.  If a simple sql query would work.. i'm up for suggestions.

Or any other ideas.

Thanks

I've removed all the portal aliases on the dev server.. .no change.. here is the error that i'm gettting

OK.  I fixed the host acces prob.. it was due to a dll file that I didn't remove after a failed attempt to upgrade to 4.8.... (hence the dev environment cause my website ended up being down for a couple of days)

I've tried changeing the portal aliases to the IP address.  I have a separate server setup for dev... still not luck.

I don't think I need to get new url's.  I'm assuming the IP address should work.  Still no luck though!!

Any more ideas would be welcome :)

To answer Lance's queston from above.. both are on different machines.
