Hello.Just came into a position to take over web development work for a company. Main site they have uses Umbraco. I want to upgrade it to version 7 (it's 6.1), but more importantly I want to set up a proper test environment first.I copied both the directories and database over to the new site (it's a sub domain). The site works entirely, it's connecting to the test database correctly, etc. But when I try to login into Umbraco via umbraco/umbraco.aspx it redirects the URL to umbraco/logout.aspx and says its a 404 error.Running Server 2008 r2, iis 7.5, SQL 2008.ANY help is appreciated.

Has the id in the umbracoUser database table reverted to 1 instead of 0, for your user?
Try comparing the live with the copy.
Nope. Both are exact copies, primary key value starts at 0 for each.
Also does the same thing when I set the connection string to the live database (from the test site).
Figured it out. Main site used HTTPS, had to enable that for test site. Duh.
