I managed to get an old DNN 4.0.2 migrated to 5.1.2 and am using a SQL Server express 2008 now. Had a few connection string problems but everything seems ok now.

However, I have a BIG BIG problem! All my images are not displaying, the ones in the skin and the ones in the text/html modules. Please dont ask me to copy (Portals/0 or Portals/1) folders to wwwwroot coz i have quite a few installations and each installation has a few sites.

Any help is really appreciated.

Hi Sebastian,

My local system (which is working fine) is installed in c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DC, 

The server (which has a problem with the images) has it at c:\inetpub\wwwroot\DC however since i have to use the ip address to view the site, my portal alias is xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx/dc

Any light is really really appreciated as to what i can do.

I have created a virtualand application 'DC' for both.

Hi Sebastian,

I did as as per your instructions, still no images :(

-Deleted virtual directory
-Moved physical folder to C:\inetpub\DC\(all files)
-Edited hosts file to the below mentioned

127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1    dc       (Also tried localhost/dc)

Any other suggestions sir?

BTW i managed to recreate the 'no image' situation in one machine, however in another machine it appears absolutely fine in c:\inetpub\wwwroot

Machine 1 - Laptop (Working fine, images are ok)
SQL Server Enterprise 2008 / WIN XP / IIS 5.1 / .NET 2.0-3.5
...System 32/drivers/etc has the following files = hosts1, lmhost1.sam, networks, protocol, services
Hosts1 content is only 127.0.0.1    localhost

Machine 2 - Desktop (Not working fine, images are not ok)
SQL Server Express 2008 / WIN XP / IIS 5.1 / .NET 2.0-3.5-4.0
...System 32/drivers/etc has the following files = hosts, lmhost.sam, networks, protocol, services
Hosts1 content was
127.0.0.1    localhost
Changed to
127.0.0.1       localhost
127.0.0.1    dc       (Also tried localhost/dc)

I can totally understand if the images in the text/html do not appear but the skin images should appear coz the images are in the same folder as the skin files, still working on it, Let me know if you need any more info sir, your advice is really appreciated :)
