I should say that I get both "The system cannot find the path specified" and "The system cannot find the file specified" depending on the link chosen but still, only the main page works.

Has ANYONE experienced this issue?

I have a DNN 4.5.3 site running fine (SiteA).  I need to make a copy of it to SiteB, same server, same db server, in order to do a pre-prod test upgrade to 4.8.4.

I copied SiteA to a new SiteB.  Permissions and IIS settings are identical on both sites. 

I backed up SiteA.db, created a new SiteB.db and restored the SiteA.db to SiteB.

I modified SiteB's web.config to point to and authenticate to SiteB.db.  SiteA's portal alias is SiteA and SiteA.domain.com.  SiteB's portal alias is SiteB and SiteB.domain.com.

SiteB launches OK and the main page comes up complete but ANY link or menu option on the page generates a blank page with "The system cannot find the path specified". 

What else am I forgetting here?

 



I've used this method for cloning a site recently and it does work. 

So you probably have some small detail that is different on site B: have you checked file permissions, db server permissions, IIS settings like .NET version, host headers, anon access etc.  What do the URLs of site B look like for the missing pages?  Is the url in any way different to the identical page on site A?


JK.

You know your website is cool, so why not let your users help you by spreading the word on social networking sites - get the DotNetNuke Social Bookmarks Module with 57 different ways to add social bookmarks to your site ... or download the FREE demo right now
