Complexity Level: 4 - I'm almost a pro! This video will show how you can test and restore a backup that you have created using the DNNBackup module from Evotiva for DotNetNuke. This is part 2 of 2.

Re: How to test and restore the backup of your DotNetNuke site - part2/2 - Video #206

Excellent video. I found it very useful. However, having gone through a restore, I noticed that the images did not display correctly. You mentioned at the end that relative path images might not be shown as it was also the case for your site.

Do you have any solution for this. Because restore worked really well expect the images are not shown properly which kind of defies the aim of cloning a site and I wonder if you have got a solution for this.

Thanks
Henry

Hi Henry,

Great that you liked the video. To answer your question, you can use the script I have mentioned in this video:

I hope it works for you.

Cheers,

Aderson,
I am getting stuck at the configure database connection. I put in the name of my new database I created, but nothing I do seems to get me past this point. The user ID and password have me confused too. What UI and PW is this referring to?
Thanks

Hi Ben, if you have created a new database, you must be able to access by entering a user name and password. These are the credentials necessary to access the database.

Hi Aderson,

Great video! I followed it and everything worked exactly as shown in the video.
When i try to navigate to the cloned local site, I get:
Server Error in '/Sutco_5-15-2012' Application.
I'm stuck.

Hi Hutch,

Hard to say what the problem is. Things to check for:

1 – Security;

2 – PortalAlias;

That is what I can think of now.

Best,
Aderson

Hi Aderson,

looks as though the skin used on this site has a conponent causing the problem. Below is the error I am getting. I have sent this into ALLDNNskins but no reply yet. Any ideas?

Hi Hutch,

It seems you are on the right track. Other people had the same issue: www.dotnetnuke.com/Resources/Forums/forumid/109/postid/405342/scope/posts.aspx

The vendor should be able to address that quickly.
