Moving the installation was no success.

What i did was scripting out the database (schema and data, but no users) and ran the script on the remote sql server.

It came out with some errors about some modules that couldnt be created as they already existed on the remote location.

Then went and changed the portalalias to match the production environment and also altered the conn string for the db in web.config

Finally i copied the files to the remote location as well, but when i access it, i get error upon error, first something about razorhost that cant be loaded, then i removed it from the db and the desktopmodules folder, but then a new error came up, somthing about a runtime being newer than the one currently running aso........

I call it quits for today, because ive pretty much spent the whole day trying to do a simple dnn installation and it keeps failing no matter how i try and do it.

I even tried using the webmatrix to install to the remote location, but it doesnt seem to do anything but copyt the installation files as u still have to go thru the whole setup thing afterwards, only difference is that the web.config contains the db conn string and therefor u dont have to type it in.

It would be really good to know if theres a problem running DNN 6.1.5 under MSSQL 2012 or not, because i dont feel like wasting anymore time on this if thats the case.



.....sry if i sound grumpy though......but i am.... lol

backup and restore is definately a better approach than scripting the database.
