Hello everyone,
I have followed all the steps in the DNN Creative tutorial '
How to transfer a localhost DotNetNuke installation to a live website' . Which was very helpfull and clear, but still I am stuck.
This is what I have done(global steps, I followed the tutorial by heart):
- I added the new domain (without the http:// ofc) to the portal aliases
- backup'ed the database and restored it on my test server
- Copied the Dnn files
- Altered the web.config
- verified that iis and asp.net works by using the app_offline.htm
But when I rename the app_offline.htm the site gets redirected to localhost instead of the test server domain.
I feel I am pretty close but I need the last push to make it work, I have searched these and the dnn forums but that didn't came up whith usefull solutions.
