Setting up Existing Project Locally - Live Site Error 500

Matthew Stone asked on October 25, 2024 00:22

We just got the project code for this Kentico13 Core Project from this other vendor and I am trying to see if everything is there that we need to take over maintenance of this site. Locally on my windows computer, I set the structure the same way up as it is on the production site, admin.site.io and site.io. The folder structure that both sites are pointing to are going to the same folder with subfolders of CMS and MVC.

I have the database brought over, I have the admin site working. I reassigned macros, did SSLs, cleared cache, checked logs both in kentico and IIS, updated appsettings.json file, updated launchSettings.json, I updated webconfigs to point to the local database. I double checked my windows features per what kentico's system requirments are. I have the correct permissions setup both on the folders and certs as well. I also have the proper licenses in place in Kentico as well as the proper urls in the sites application in kentico. However, the main site (mvc) isnt working. I keep getting an error 500 with nothing in IIS logs/nor in the logs in Kentico.

I am sure I am missing something simple, but any help to let me know what I am missing would be appreciated.
