Getting DNN Site To Run Locally

I am trying to get a DotNetNuke site running locally.

At the moment the site is hosted on a server and is functional.

I downloaded the website to my local computer and tried to compile it in Visual Studio.

I am getting all sorts of build errors and I am having alot of trouble getting it to run.

The version of DotNetNuke is very old. i believe it is version 05.06.02.

Any help or advice would be much appreciated.

While you can access some of the DNN code via Visual Studio, first you need to get the site running without Visual Studio.

Here is a good set of instructions on copying and running a site on another computer.

The main things to pay attention too are getting a connection to your database, and making the IIS site accessible locally.
