I have watched Lee's videos for backing up live website to local host. I have followed everything, except the difference was instead of restoring the database to sqlserver express, I used SQL server 2008 (live database is on 2008 too). I have setup IIS and folder permissions. The very first time I browsed the local website, it ran some scripts, updated web.config, and the DNN page gave me some link like "click here to access your portal". I clicked the link and it directed me to non-existent page. Now everytime I am trying to access the local website, it is giving me blank page. However, I can browse pages that I created, like index.html, test.aspx, test.asp Not sure why DNN is not working. Any help will be appreciated. Btw, I am using Vista, SQL Sever 2008 and DNN 5.2

Do you have asp pages mixed in with your DotNetNuke installation?
The fact that it ran scripts isn't a good sign ...
Do you have more details?

I havent mixed any pages. I just copied files from the live server to my localhost. Also, I restored the database (the only difference was I restored in SQL Server 2008). It ran the scripts, give me the link to the portal (which is blank) and also created a new portal "2" in Portals folder. Anyways, what I did in the end is created a new database, and run DNN again. So it installed everything from scratch. I then restored my live database and copied the files to Portal\0 and everything is working fine since then.

When you copied things over, did you also change the two connection strings to the database in the web.config file. That DotNetNuke ran installation scripts is an indication that it wasn't able to find the database.
What you did, as you have seen, worked fine. You reinstalled, which set up a connection to the correct database. Then, when you restored the database, you were still able to connect to it. Copying files completed the process.

Yes I changed the connection strings before accessing DNN. The scripts which ran were of updating (on a single page), not like a typical DNN step by step installation.
