I copied an installation of Umbraco 7.2.4 to the same server. I created the new (copied) site by:
Copying the site files to a new location
Creating a new database and restoring it to the last back up of the database from the original site
Updated connection string in web.config
The front end of the site works fine, but when I hit /umbraco I get a 404. The site has been copied to the same server. I verified I've got the correct permissions for the files. I've deleted the temp files and tried restarting the app pool.
Does anybody have an idea why the backend wouldn't work? Maybe there's something in the database or a config file I need to change still?
I didn't see in the web.config that there is a very well-named, pretty self-explanatory tag:
It was set to true in the old site, therefore copied over that way. I don't have the new site set up with SSL yet, so it was trying to force it and I was getting a 404.
