As mentioned my migrated site tries to load the upgrade wizard instead of the site. I've checked the database connection string a it seems to be OK. Can anyone enlighten me on what might be causing this behaviour? Many thanks.

First thing to check is if the database connection string is correct and if there are the required permissions on SQL Server.
Happy DNNing! Michael
Every time this happens, it's almost always a value that looks correct, but isn't. I'd recommend re-doing the entire process and copy/paste anything that you'd normally type. Everything.
This documentation article should help too. I know this is frustrating, but it's always something I did to myself when I see this happen. ☹️

(Note: the error is not the same, but the troubleshooting usually is.)
Hi Will, well it turns out you are correct. Someone (not naming names, but he works in my office and sits at my desk at the same time as me :) ) downloaded a dump of the wrong database. Ugh. I deleted the install and database and started the migration from scratch. I have the site running now but getting lots of 403 errors: Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 () Telerik.Web.UI.WebResource.axd:1 Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 403 () dnn.js?cdv=2:1 Uncaught ReferenceError: Sys is not defined at dnn.js?cdv=2:1:31 dnn.jquery.js?cdv=2:4297 Uncaught ReferenceError: Sys is not defined at dnn.jquery.js?cdv=2:4297:5 at dnn.jquery.js?cdv=2:4300:3 I assume this is a permissions issue for the worker process? But giving full control or read / write / modify on the root is not solving it so far. I've contacted host support but thought I'd report back here too in case there is anything else that could be.
Awesome... One more step in the correct direction! 😎
If it were me, I'd do the following:
/Install/Temp/
/App_Code/Search/
/Portals/_default/Logs/
For the comparison steps, I'd recommend using WinMerge. It works well for single files and full folders, and it's free.
