This is very interesting....

I was able to successfully port and server the (4.9.0) DNN instance(currently lives on IIS 6.0, Win Server 2003) to a web server running IIS 6.0 and Win Server 2003.  The server that I'm trying to port to is IIS 7 and is running Win Server 2008. 

Howerver, since I am able to host a basic DNN plain vanilla instance on IIS7/WinServ2008 I'm wondering of porting the existing DNN instance (from IIS6/WinServ2003) is running into some type of security issues either with the browser or system.

Yes, I have updated all webserver string literal instance in the PortalAliases table:

IE.....

From (old table contents - select * from PortalAliases):

- localhost/DNN

- webserverA/DNN

To (new table with updated webserver):

- localhost/DNN

- webserverB/DNN

"Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage" This is a generic message which IE displays and it's masking one of real errors. You need to have the browser display the exact error from the web server. Use another browser like FF to get the exact message or in IE go to Tools->Advanced. There's an option for displaying friendly messages, change the setting.

Once you know what the error message is, you will probably find out the problem.

Also go to web.config and have the CustomError tag set to 'Off' to display the asp.net message.

You can also start with placing a static HTML page in the root folder and have the browser request it. You want to isolate ASP.NET errors from IIS errors from DNS errors from DNN errors and so forth.

Good luck.

Hi, thanks for the reply.

I have checked the setting for "Show Friendly HTTP" in IE but I still get the following error (IE error listed below).  I have also tried to brwose to the site, http://localhost/DNN in Firefox and recieve the generc "Unable to Connect" error message (I can connect to msn.com to there is not connection issues).

I have also set CustomError tag = "Off".  One other thing that I did was server a static .html page via http://localhost/index.html and it was served from c:\inetpub\wwwroot\index.html.

Completely at a loss right now....
