I am running a DNN 6.0.2 site (
www.mysite.com) and am planning to upgrade to fix some nagging issues. In preparation, I've created a separate site (upgrade.mysite.com) and copied over the site files and database per instructions. Home page loads (upgrade.mysite.com/Defaul
t.aspx).
Unfortunately every time I try to browse to beyond the upgrade.mysite.com home page, it redirects me to the site root, www.mysite.com/Default.aspx?TabID=someTabID. This page doesn't exist. As far as I can tell, the IIS settings are identical between the live and upgrade site and no hidden redirects are anywhere in the files.
What's weird is that I can actually login as host to the upgrade site and browse around to all the host pages and edit as needed. But when I try to go to the Admin pages, I'm redirected towww.mysite.com/Default.aspx?TabID=someTabID which gives me that "Resource Cannot be Found" page.
And "Friendly URLs" is checked.
