I've done a back up and restore of the current live site.

I've also done a back up and restore of the current live site's database.

I am now trying to restore the back up to my local site so I can do some modifications without affecting the live site yet.

I would like to upgrade my current 3.x site to a 4.x site, which is why I hoped to attempt it locally before attempting to do it on the live site. (Kind of weed out any problems I may encounter)

Well I have the site backed up and have changed the connection string in the Web.config to point to my local database. Gone into iis and set up the virtual path to a  path of  /mysite, with a physical path of c:\inetpub\wwwroot\mysite

Set up the folder permissions for Network Service, with full control.

 

However when I try to start my local application by typing http://localhost/mysite/default.aspx (or http://localhost/mysite). The site is being redirected still to the live site. (or what appears to be a former path of the live site http://sitexxx.webhost4life.com/mysite

I can't determine where the redirection is occurring.

Can someone who is more knowledgeable give me some insight? Am I looking for a setting in IIS? Web.config? a file like the Global.asax?

Thanks in advance

Ming Hsueh,

What you need to do is add a portal alias to your 'portalalias' table in your database. See my response to a similiar question about solving redirect issues. You'll need to scroll to the very bottom of the thread to see my post.

Hope that helps and let me know if you have any other issues.

Take care,

Ian
