    Hi Peter,

    Do you know how I might migrate all the files and folder and permissions structure over from one portal to another?

    I'm setting up our intranet on a new server we just purchased and I wanted to rebuild the DNN site from ground-up omitting the mistakes I have made in the current one. 

    Thanks,

    Earnie

    Earnie,
    This is not trivial, but not impossible. What is important to know is that (1) the file structure in the repository should remain intact, but can be moved anywhere as a whole, and (2) all data is in the DMX_ tables. You'll notice that Attributes, Categories, Entries, and Extensions are portal bound (i.e. they have a field 'PortalId') which you would need to rewire. Try importing the data from your previous installation after having installed DMX so all tables are in place. Debug if necessary. It might take a few trials. Good luck,
    Peter
