You will need to install a copy of the database and the file system on your local computer.

Create a local website (recommended URL is dnndev.me or somename.dnndev.me, as these will resolve to the localhost address and you won't have to fiddle with that).

Add portalaliases to the portalalias table, or add the alias before you move the site copy.

You will have to set up a database user or use the AppPool user, and you will need to set permissions for the file system.

Set the connection string in web.config so that you can connect to the local database.
Then, if that doesn't work, you will need to figure out what's wrong!

------------------
On a local installation, it's probably easier to set up nvQuickSite to set up a DNN installation, then replace the database, the files, etc.

Dear Joe

It is request to would you please guide about the following point:

You will have to set up a database user or use the AppPool user, and you will need to set permissions for the file system.

How I will do the above ? which user I have to create in Database ? Which permission I have to set ?

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks

 

 

if Web server and SQL Server reside on different (virtual) machines, not belonging to the same Active directory, you need to use (less secure) SQL Server authentication. Allow mixed authentication for your SQL Server (please google for how to) and create a local SQL server user, you specify with password in your SQL Server connection string (in web.config file in the root folder of your IIS website).

otherwise, it depends on the Asp User, configured in Advanced settings of your IIS App Pool: if it is set to "App Pool Identity", you need to create a SQL Server Windows user "IIS AppPool\AppPoolName" (replace AppPoolName with the name of your App Pool), and don't click "check name"! In all other cases, use the windows user name, specified as AspNet user in your AppPool.
In all cases, you havev to grant dbowner permission to this user for your database (in SQL Server Management Studio: enter the login account properties and in top left corner, select "User assignment"). select proper line in the database list to the right and use schema "dbo". beneath, check role "dbowner").
HTH.

"You will have to set up a database user or use the AppPool user, and you will need to set permissions for the file system.

This is the same thing that you do when you set up an instance of DNN anywhere. So, take a look at some of the tutorials that are available for installing DNN. For example, look for christoc's (Chris Hammond) videos on this process on YouTube.

Please help and guide me I just stuck here.

Hi Sebastian

The Azure B2C is already configured in Website as well as in Azure AD. Whe I enter my email after authectication from Azure B2C is goes to UAT Url instead of Local Host. How I will resolve this ?

Would you please guide me ?

Thanks

Anil

In this case, you may check content of database tables HostSettings and PortalSettings, for records, containing a SettingValue with your old domain name.
