Hi there-

We have a DNN (network or multisite) that we attempted to migrate and it has locked up. We have a setup with 3 sites that were connected. We had site A that was the central site. We when moved site A (WWW) to another location. All sites (b,c, etc) all collapsed. We have been unsucessful in resurecting the site. We have the code and DB. But cant get it back online. We likely want to contract with a recommended agency to help us get unstuck as our DNN knowledge is limited. Where would you start?

Hey Matt:

I'd be happy to help. Let's meet this afternoon to chat about it. It's likely a simple portal alias overlook or something like that.
