Restoring a Live Site to a Local Host ,following the steps of the tutorials went ok. For the moment, we only face a problem accessing the child portal

A.

http://localhost/mainportal works ok.

http://localhost/childportal does not work.


Before we move the site we create, for both the main and child portals,  the localhost alias as described in the videos.

B.

On  the Main menu of the Parent Portal, we have a link to the child portal using the url as the link to the child portal (http://Live URL IP/childportal)
 
On the Local Host installation, we edit the specific page (DNN Admin -->Pages) and change the: ( Live URL IP/childportal)  to:  (Localhost/childportal). But every time we click on the link

we have the message: page not found.

Any Ideas ? how to solve this problem ?


Both Live and Local Sites runs on SQL 2005  

No, I do not do that.

From the Video tutorial instructions, I had the impression that the procedure for the second virtual directory has to do with a second (parent ?) portal that "point" to the same physical directory ( www.mysite.com and www.mysite1.com ), and not with the parent portal scenario (www.mysite.com and www.mysite.com/child).

I have a seperate issue regarding this tutorial:

Thanks for your replies.

I have resolution!  My localhost server is MS 2003 Standard Ed.  I was able to navigate to the local folder, right-click > properties > Web Sharing tab, web share the folder with Execute Permissions and viola! 

Regarding the IIS Admin console, I had to remove the prior alias reference before I could 'Web Share' the folder.  Using the web sharing feature created an alias in IIS.  However, I then had to return to IIS and configure the .Net version, etc...

Thanks again for this forum and the work your doing.
