Hello everyone,

I was DotNetNuke on a now shut down website. I have to extract the content of my pages, which means uploaded images, webpage titles and webpage contents. I will integrate it in another database manually, and I have no problem with that. All I want is the current data, which I can’t seem to be able to find.

I believe my goal is to extract the content of /AppData/Database.mdf which weighs just under 1.2 megabytes. First of all, is that right?

I have installed Windows 7 and IIS and SQL Server Management and Access, but it doesn’t seem to get my anywhere. I haven’t managed to read my Database.mdf file with any of these applications. I have tried setting up IIS to put my DNN folder there, but it keeps redirecting me to my old site, and I haven’t found any references of my old site there, so I believe it’s encrypted somewhere in Database.mdf.

Can anybody help me ? Thank you very much in advance

check the backup of your previous web site, in most cases it should contain the database (separately) as well.

if the data is kept in an attached database of sql server, it is physically stored in a .mdf file as well, but usually in a different location (by default c:\program files\MS SQL\version\data or sth. like this. has the site previously been hosted at a hosting provider or on your own server?
