you need to have local IIS website configured (with edit permission for the ASP.Net App Pool user) and SQL Server
copy over files and database backup.
Create local database from backup and a SQL Server account to use, which needs to be granted DB Owner permission for the database. In web.config file edit connection string to match your database.
edit system32/drivers/etc/hosts file with a text editor and provide a proper local domain name for your local IP (e.g. "DNN").
Bind this name to your local website.
Browse to your website.
Edit PortalAlias database table and make sure, your local name is a primary website alias for your site (e.g. overwrite existing primary alias.

Dear Sebastian Leupold

I did the following:

1: Restore the DDN UAT Azure SQL Server Database on Local Instance.

2: Change the default in PortalAlias table (HTTPAlias = dnn.localhost.com).

3: edit the Host file under C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc

127.0.0.1       dnn.localhost.com

4: Place the DNN Website Folder under C:\inetpub\wwwroot\

5: Add Website in IIS

6: Enter the (dnn.localhost.com) as Host Name in Bindings.

When I browse the Site following message appears: would you please guide me what I am doing wrong ??
