Hi Robert,

many thanks for your posting - great article ! - I don't know exactly if this solves my problem (actually it didn't, but maybe it is very simelar - and I guess you have the right knowledge helping me out):

I would like to copy my production-DNN-portal to my developer machine (same config.web; same database, same directory; ...)

In every html/xml - module, when I paste a picture in a scr-tag - the source will be reformatted automatically - e.g.:
I have a table and there is a picture in the html-tag with that source:

src="http://www.geopic.at/Portals/0/htmWillkommen/Comming-Soon_05.jpg"

-----> TO:

src="/Portals/0/htmWillkommen/Comming-Soon_05.jpg"

On www.geopic.at it renders perfect – in http://localhost/geopic (on my developer machine at home) it doesn’t -> but the picture is in the same directory (“ /Portals/0/htmWillkommen/Comming-Soon_05.jpg”)

I have checked: on the Admin – SiteSettings – I have all necessary HTTP Alias set correctly: (www.geopic.at AND localhost/geopic)

I found out, that when I insert the same picture on my developer machine - the result looks like this:
src="/GeoPic/Portals/0/htmWillkommen/Comming-Soon_05.jpg"

--> ANYTIME with the virtual-directory name of the IIS at the beginning (GeoPic) ! - VERY STRANGE !!

Do you have a procedure how this could be worked (production-environment with IIS on a real-website AND the development-environment with IIS on a virtual-path [unfortunately on a client machine with WinXP and IIS 5.1 there is no possiblity to get a real-web-site as it is under IIS 6.0 on Windows Server 2003]).

MANY THX for your support and your help !!

Best,
Robert
