DotNetNuke on Vista

Moving my DNN projects from my XP Backup to Vista was yet another "interesting" experience.  I had read a few posts on the DNN forums (www.dotnetnuke.com) about core team members who had been running DNN on Vista for a while, a few even posted some tips - how hard could it be?
 
Actually, it was pretty easy.  The first step involved copying over my backed up DNN directories and my SQL mdb and log files.
 
 
Next I set the permission on my DNN directory
 
Then I attached my SQL DB on SQL and setup a new user.
 
 
Now, the IIS setup is the only thing that is really different in IIS7.   You need to select a ".net classic" AppPool for everything to work.
 
Launch IIS from Control Panel (Classic View) | Administrative Tools |
 
 
Add a new Application to Your Default Website (right mouse click and select Add Application)
 
 
 
 
 
Make sure when you setup your application that you select the Classic.net App Pool
 
 
I then changed my web.config to use the new SQL user
 
Browsed to the site and viola!, everything worked!
