I have a production site I need to do some major modifications to.

I downloaded  and installed files and database.

Set it up in IIS on a win7 system.

configured a site and made an entry in win hosts file for anysite.us (a configured alias of the portal) at 127.0.0.1.

I tried to open it from within IIS brousing to the configured site and I seem to be redirected to the livesite.

I cant seem to get into my local host copy of the portal.

Is there a resource that can walk me through this?

Eli

I just cant seem to get it to work.

I added an alias, " mysite", on the live version and downloaded.

I configured the site in iis and sql serverexpress, modified the hosts file to identify "mysite" with 127.0.0.1.

now it redirects to mysite.com and returns whatever info is associated there.

I do have to make this happen. Any pointers are appreciated.

I"m not aware of any walkthroughs. I will note that my local copy has localhost/mysite instead of just mysite
