Dear DNN fans,

I installed and configured DNN on my local web server. Everything is working fine.

Now I want to migrate the exact website to my web host (Godaddy).

  • I used Database Publishing Wizard to transfert my DNN database
  •  I transfered by FTP all my files

Then, here the problem: When I go on my website online, I am forwarded to the "DotNetNuke Installation Wizard - Version 05.00.01" page.??????

Did I miss a step or option in web.config? (ObjectQualifier for database is well set, Connection to host database is working)

Thx in advance!

did you ensure, that the files are in correct hierarchy and ASP.Net account has full permission?

also make sure, the connection string (both uncommented instances) in web.config point to your database.

Sebastian,

What do you mean "in correct hierarchy"?

For permission, I checked the option Anonymous Access,Directory Browsing and Set Application Root for the folder that contains IIS.

The connection string is correct because I used it with Database Publishing wizard.

It's really weird because, last time, I did the same migration operation and it works fine. The only difference now is that I have some procedures that have not been well installed. Does that make a difference?

Thx

Files need to be extracted pertaining folder hiearchy, some packers have options to unzip without path resulting in hundreds of files in a flat root. ensure, this is not the case for your DNN install root folder.

Besides, make sure to grant full File System Permissions to ASP.Net Windows user account ("etwork Service" by default. in Windows Explorer, use Properties :: Security to adjust.

Lol, I was talking about a web hosting issue not a local one. I fixed the problem. My mistake was to take the web.config file from another project and just change the connection string and objectqualifier for another project. It clearly show that other parameter was dependant to the project. I dont know which one yet but now i know that I will not do the same error.

Thx.

Peace
