Sebastian, thanks for your reply.
this is what im trying to do:
On a local network , Server02 ( sbs2003 ) is hosting a dotnetnuke site with a AspDotNetStorefront store. This server needs to be put out of service since is presenting hardware problems. They ask me to move the hole site to another phisical server on a diferent network.
Server02 is runnig SQLExpress 2005 , the name of the instance is “SQLEXPRESS” and is runing the DB “ASPDNNSF_Demo” + system DB ( master, model, msdb, tempdb ) and The root files are located at C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\.
The first step I took was to copy all the wwroot\ content and using a sql backup tool called “ SQL ServerBackup “ (http://www.databk.com/ ) I backed up the “ASPDNNSF_Demo” DB.
Now on the new Destination server: Server1 ( 2003 std ) located on a diferent network, runing SQLExpress 2005, the name of the instance is “ SQLEXPRESS“ , I install my sql backup utility and restore the “ASPDNNSF_Demo” DB, also locate my wwwroot\ content from server02 to same directory C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\.
On the new destination server1 I try to replicate the same settigns on the IIS that Server02 has, also add permissions to folder, match instance and server name on the web.config file. But when I try to browse the local host or the same server ip address , it wont show the dotnetnuke isntallation wizard page.
