Login Error (but register works) after migrating DotNetNuke site to DiscountASP

Discussion in 'Windows / IIS' started by JoeLi, Sep 17, 2010.

  1. Hello,

    I have an existing DotNetNuke site (version 4.09). I have successfully restored to a VM (Windows server 2008 and SQL 2k5) and tested OK.

    When I migrate db and site to DiscountASP (still use SQL 2k5 and alternative URL), however, all menus (admin and other customized) are gone and all modules of home page are gone, showing DNN Portal Root.

    The register/login links are still there. When I try to log on as existing user, I got error message saying "Login Failed, remember that Passwords are case sensitive". The strange thing is that I CAN register as a new user and the new account CAN be logged on successfully.

    I am guessing the database should work in someway since the site allows new user to register.

    I did a new install of DNN 5.5 to another subdirectory and it seems working fine.

    Can anyone give me some clue for this please? My knowledge of using DiscountASP (control panel) is limited so maybe something could be easily fixed.

    Thanks,

    Joe
     
  2. Are you 100% sure the files were completely restored? Maybe the database wasn't restored properly which would be why all logins and customizations are gone, but still allows you to register. Have you also made sure you've updated the web.config in DNN to point to the database provided by DASP?
