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!
