I have a dnn site I host. It was hosted initially on a win 2003 server.
Now I want to move it to Win 2008 server. It was on a different hdd then win2003 os (userdata hdd) so I installed it in 2008 machine, installed database, created the site under IIS7 and poinyted to the website folder.
But when I want to access the website, it automatically redirects me to

http://mysite/Install/UnderConstruction.htm

Connection string is ok (I verified it).

Does anyone knows what should I do to make it work? Where to look, is it any log file or something where DNN might log what happens and why it doesn’t start?

Thanks

    After a while I tried again to do the migration. Actually, at the same time I was trying also to upgrade to a newer version (initila version was 4.(something), and upgraded to 5.(current)
    I follow the instruction steps for upgrate from DNN site and I found that, initially, it seems I missed the step to set the permissions on the dnn folder on the new machine. After I set the permission and followed all other steps (installing db, setting db access user, editing connection string – which I did all before – and also settings file system permissions), the upgrade process went smooth and the dnn site is back up and running

    I post this hoping it will help others in the same situation.

    Thanks all of you for trying to help and regards!
