Hello,

I am trying to install an existing DNN 7 site onto to my local machine running Windows running 8.1 When trying to access the site I get a 404 error. Though I've been able to access a text file sitting in the same virtual directory (i.e. dnn070302.met/sometextfile.txt).

As well as this:

But to no avail. Anyone else had issues getting DNN to run on Windows 8.1?

Best Regards,

Hi Scott,

Thank you so much for your reply.

I changed the url in the host file, and mapped in the bindings but forgot about the PortalAlias table. Changed it there and it's working :-)

So you are spot on with your questions, what made you think of that? 

I find it a bit a bit strange that I got a 404 error though, but that obviously made sense to you.

By the way, when I said virtual directory, I meant I put the file in the top level of the web site.

Anyway, thank you once again. It's Saturday night (here in London anyway) and I can go out and have a much better evening :-)

Best Regards,

Steve
