Ok, so this may seem an elementary question. Maybe it is. But for the life of me I don’t know the answer. I’m looking for the simple answer(s).
I’ve attempted both of the following:
1) I have a site I’ve created locally. When I deploy to my host (XCopy of site files + restore of a .bak SQL Server backup file), I get all kinds of errors pertaining to records in the database that are looking for files on my local HD. IE: There are fully qualified path names in the database vs. relative. EX: C:\FolderName\FileName.ext
2) I’ve stood up a brand new database and new site files out on my host as well in order to create the site fresh, but the SQL Scripts won’t run. Appears to be a permissions issue even though the connection strings are set properly in the web.config.
Also, I’ve not fired up anything from Visual Studio yet. Just doing everything from the portal interface at the moment.
Oh, and I’m asking here first because you all on StackOverflow are reliable. The folks at DNN that monitor the forums are not.
The issue was in the Portal Alias table. There has to be appropriate records for all applicable aliases. The problem is, when you create the site in your own localhost, there’s only a “localhost” record. Additional records have to be created for all URI locations.
