Cloning site
Hi
SF 4.1.
I need to clone my existing site. I copied both the site and backend sql server db then replaced in my cloned site all references to old db with the new db including in data configuration file. Problem is when I run the cloned site I get the error below at the end. What am I missing in getting the cloned site to run please?
Thanks
Regards

Not to necro this post but if others are having a similar issue saying you answered it elsewhere and not linking or duplicating the information is frustrating.
I am also facing the same issue. can you please let us know the solution
Hi,
The error in the initial post shows us that the system is trying to create the project's database again. Can you make sure that the connection string in the DataConfig ( or in the webconfig if you have such ) point to the same database on the proper server.
If you are want to successfully clone your website, you can follow these steps:
1. Copy the folder containing the project files.
2. Create a backup of the database.
3. Set the site on the new environment.
4. Restore the backed up database. Verify that the users managing the database exist in the new environment, as well as the schema.
5. Edit the connection string in the DataConfig and in the webconfig ( if you have set it there ).
6. Run the site in VS or IIS. If you are running it on IIS, review the following article to make sure that it is properly set:
www.sitefinity.com/.../installing_sitefinity_4_on_iis_7.aspx
Also, if you're moving from one environment using SQL credentials to one where you're using an Active Directory account and Integrated Security, just make sure you add that account to the list of the database logins in SQL Server.
